We were so excited when the Ravenswood Mansion crew invited us to their Rendezvous at Ravenswood, an open house for supporters of this historic project and official grand opening. The Ravenswood, located in south Brentwood, was lovingly restored in 2013, making it a newer place for Music City folk to gather and celebrate.  It officially opened for events this summer and is currently booking weddings, parties and galas. Rustic elegance was the theme for the night with Barnwood Lounge furniture, Cross-back Chairs, Round Farm Tables and stylish designer linens. The string lights and gorgeous gold orbs are from our friends at Bright Event Productions.  The property is truly stunning and we look forward to many events here in the future!

Thanks to Joy Marie Photography for these beautiful photos of the event!

For Caitlin and Dominic’s big day, these two love birds celebrated with their closest friends and family in style!  Their winter wedding in Nashville, featured black and white decor adding a modern feel to the rustic industrial venue.  Bold black folding chairs, crisp white linens are a stark but elegant contrast to the wood pillars and brick backdrop. Italian string lights and crystal chandliers from our friends at Bright Event Productions made the space come to life.

Thank you to Beautiful Day Photography for the gorgeous photos below, and best wishes to the newlyweds -Caitlin and Dominic!  We loved working with you both 🙂

We are betting many of your landed some pretty amazing deals today – now that you are home with your Black Friday finds, we have an opportunity for you to pass on your good fortune to others.  Southern Events is teaming up with Bright Event Productions for their Month of Giving BRIGHT.  During the month of December, we are collecting donations for four local charities – Safe Harbor, Mending Hearts, Yana House and Noah’s Ark.  Our good friend, Laura Little works with these charities year round and we definitely need to shout out her efforts as well to bring all this together.  These local charities work to help men and women coming out of the corrections system get back on their feet, service women with addictions and help save animals from hoarding situations.  With your donations we can help a lot of people and animals in need!

Dressed to the nines and packed to the rafters – we had a fantastic time as part of the Nashville Venue Crawl that took place on August 4th. Brides, grooms and family members took turns being transported to each of the participating venues in Nashville. Featured locations included Ruby, the Bridge Building, Oz and Houston Station.

We were happy to showcase some of our favorite rentals in some of our most creative and eye-catching ways at Houston Station! Amy Nicole captured some amazing shots that really brought out the vivid colors and textures of the rentals we displayed inside the spacious warehouse venue for this preview event.

Various vignettes were spread throughout – they have tons of space for fun and creative displays! In the “Bohemian Glow” area, our new Whitewash Farm Tables set the scene for a wonderful pop of purples with linens highlighting our vintage mix-match Heirloom China. Our Greta Couch was the perfect size to create a seating area for guests and visitors at the event, while our Barnwood Couch and Coffee Table complimented the whitewash look, perfect for more rich purple and pink hues giving a subtle opulence to the display. We integrated one of our favorite new styles – Chevron!- into our navy and gold reception set up. Preppy Chic is a look that we simply adore, and can be achieved easily with a base color like navy and a bold pattern like gold chevron. With a switch to Mod Glam, our center lounge area set up featured a beautiful demure shade of coral, dressed up with accents of silver and just the right amount of bling.

The Venue Crawl could not have been possible without the fantastic help from the following vendors, we love you guys!
