Southern Love: Emerald & Gold Event Design at the Rutherford Society Gala

Events and Style Shoots, Southern Events Products

Supporting image

Emerald and gold speaks to opulence and set the tone for the event design at the 13th Annual Rutherford Society Gala. A black-tie affair, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville in southeast Murfreesboro was transformed into an elegant affair. A mix of vibrant and deep greens, white furniture and golden accents made for a luxurious setting.

It is easy to take emerald and gold event design and end up over the top. With beautiful but simple pieces, a chic and functional space is possible. Alongside a pleasing aesthetic our aim is to eliminate any feelings of claustrophobia. It is a cocktail hour after all! Pieces like our Pearce Furniture, a chic modular lounge, and bistro tables will prompt guests towards social areas for a drink well throughout the evening.

The elegant layout and grandeur spilled over to the main ballroom for a 3-course meal. Paired with rich velvet tablecloths and white linens are the perfect amount of gold metallics to make it all pop! This includes Chiavari Chairs, gold-rimmed Athena Plates, and Austin Flatware. A touch of fresh florals in clear glass vases goes on to add some natural beauty.

Whimsy doesn't have to be loud....

This one worked because nothing matched perfectly — and that was the point. Floral linens next to satin, wildflower stems tucked into cylinder vases, a color palette that felt collected rather than coordinated. The kind of wedding that looks effortless and definitely wasn't. 🌸

Long tables have a way of making people stay.

This outdoor setup at @ediblenashtn kept it simple — sage floral plates, beaded glassware, fresh air. But it's the format that does the work. One long table changes how guests interact, how conversations move, and how an event actually feels to be at. 🌿

Warm tones just feel good to sit in.

Olive, taupe, a little gold to catch the light. Nothing too polished, nothing too rustic. Just that in-between that feels relaxed but still pulled together 🥰

This one doesn’t whisper, and that’s the point 🌸🌼

Blue and white, bright florals, patterned linens, and just enough detail to keep your eye moving the whole time. Gatsby coupe glassware, beaded chargers, little moments everywhere you look. It’s playful, but still pulled together.

The difference is usually in the details. And lately, it’s been pillows ✨

They’re one of the easiest ways to shift a lounge without reworking the whole setup. Add color, bring in texture, or tie everything back to the rest of the event. Take a look at our new collection of stunning pillows that will make your next event extra cozy!

Wood on wood… but make it fresh 🤍

At Cedarmont Farm, the setting already brings all the warmth. Wood tables, wood chairs, the whole space working in the same tone. Add crisp white linens and suddenly it feels lighter, brighter, and a little more modern without losing the charm.

Green on green done right doesn’t blend in. It builds.

Different shades, different textures, a little pattern mixed in. Wood tones to ground it, florals to soften it, and tableware that keeps it all feeling polished 💚
