Nothing quite says spring like a garden filled with soft pastels.  Our watercolor themed shoot worked beautifully in the gardens of CJ’s Off the Square.  Known for their full service wedding styling and all-inclusive event packages, this historic venue is a favorite of ours.  Events and weddings here often feature pieces from our Vintage Prop Shoppe – including our Cora couch and Marjorie vintage coffee table below – they just look so perfect together!

The dreamy images are courtesy of Amy Nicole Photography – she also shot last summer’s Nashville Venue Crawl at Houston Station and is fast becoming a favorite of ours.  Enjoy!

When life gives you lemons, we say take the lemonade and create a fab style shoot!  We did just that, partnering with vendors from Wedding 101 to create this causal and colorful style shoot at the Lighthouse Event and Wedding Center in Hendersonville.  Our color palette included luscious lemon and lime paired against gray and white creating a youthful preppy look.  Next to the water and under the brilliant blue sky and life is very sweet!

Thanks to Complete MVP for the great photos – You can see more pictures from this shoot on the Story Board Wedding Blog where they graciously featured this fun style shoot 🙂

We were thrilled to have been apart this recent Winter Wonderland Wedding style shoot that was filled with gorgeous accents and beautiful designs at the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. With the help of Wedding 101, this wedding pulled off the rustic chic – meets – glamorous style beautifully, and the linens and coverings were able to add a touch of vintage class to the event as well.  And with chilly temps outside, this stylish take on winter wedding decor will warm you right up!

The images below showcase the blending of these different style – glamorous and rustic – The white, blue and silver hues created a magical wintry feel when combined with the romantic candles, hydrangeas and table settings, while the rustic inspired decor on the outdoor tables made for a vintage chic style.  You can see more images from our feature on Love and Lavender’s Blog.

Thanks to the talented Jessie Holloway Photography, we are able to show you just how perfectly it all came together!

The holidays are just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning your Thanksgiving celebration! Hosting a feast can be overwhelming, but Southern Events makes it easy by providing everything you need to create a stunning tablescape—plus, we take care of the cleanup. Here’s how to make your Thanksgiving feast unforgettable:

1. Wow Your Guests with Farm Tables

Set the stage for your gathering with our Rustic Farm Table, which seats 8 to 10 guests comfortably. Hosting a larger group? Opt for a set of our Aged Oak Dinner Tables, set up side by side, for a more refined look. These versatile tables pair beautifully with any Thanksgiving decor.

2. Add Elegance with the Perfect Chairs

No table is complete without stylish and comfortable seating. Choose from our Chiavari Chairs (available in fruitwood, gold, black, or white) for a classic look, or opt for Cross-Back Chairs for a cozy, rustic vibe. For an elevated yet homey aesthetic, consider our Harlin Dining Chairs.

3. Make a Statement with Signature Tablescapes

Elevate your Thanksgiving table with our curated collection of chargers, china, and linens. Consider:

• Scalloped Wood or Walnut Rattan Chargers for a warm, elegant base.
• Heirloom China to showcase your family’s treasured recipes.
• Choose from an array of brilliantly colored napkins, plus specialty linen options to tie the look together—don’t forget a few extras for bread baskets or food displays.

4. Rent Glassware for Every Occasion

Ensure you have enough for everyone by renting from our wide selection of glassware, including water goblets, wine glasses, coffee mugs, and barware. Best of all, we handle the cleanup so you can enjoy your day stress-free.

5. Light It Up with Lanterns and Candles

Style your Thanksgiving table with the warm glow of candlelight. Consider lanterns, candelabras, or votive candles to add ambiance and charm to your celebration.

6. Book Early for a Seamless Celebration

When hosting the dinner party of the year, renting dishes, decor, tables, and chairs is a Southern secret to success. Booking early ensures your favorite items are available, so don’t wait!

Happy Halloween! We here at Southern Events love nothing more than a theme, which is why we decided to gather our favorite gothic-inspired images to celebrate this goul-ish fall holiday. Many of these are favorites from our own past events, while a few of the images have us excited to spice up our personal parties! (A special thank you to Waiting on Martha and Victoria Austin Design for their chic ideas!)

When incorporating gothic inspiration into your own event, less is best. These rich-toned, moody elements are stunning and unique when featured in small doses— but lay the dark on too heavy, and you may scare your guests!

A special thanks to all the photographers we work with for their stunning (and hauntingly beautiful!) images!  Happy Halloween!
