Time-wise, the ceremony is the shortest part of your wedding day. However, it is the most important part! It is where vows are exchanged, and witnessed by your closest family and friends. Whether you’re having a traditional wedding or desire something out of the box, Southern Events Rentals has a variety of stylish wedding ceremony rentals to choose from. Including modern event chairs to vintage rugs and whiskey barrels, our selection gives you the creative freedom to design the day you’ve always dreamed about.

Modern Ceremony Seating

When it comes to selecting seating for your wedding ceremony, the choices you make significantly influence the overall aesthetic of the event. A popular and contemporary option we offer is the Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs. These transparent chairs, suitable for minimalist or modern vibes, bring a touch of elegance to your ceremony. Further, if you want a more sophisticated look, our collection includes wood furniture options like the elegant Cross-Back or Harlin Dining Chairs, perfect for achieving a classic and timeless ambiance.

In ballroom settings, our Chiavari Chairs stand out as the go-to choice, available in Black, White, Fruitwood, or Gold. These options allow couples to easily match their chosen color palette. For a comfortable and stylish alternative to traditional folding chairs, our classic Resin Folding Chairs are a great option, especially for casual backyard weddings. Additionally, we offer unique designs such as the Black Willow Chairs and Antique White Bentwood Chairs, both featuring distinct backs to add a touch of personality to your seating arrangement.

Wedding Ceremony Aisle Decor

Elevating your ceremony aisle with thoughtful decor is essential to create a captivating atmosphere! For those leaning towards a minimalist look that allows the venue to shine, candles are a timeless choice. In addition, you can pair them with florals or greenery to frame the aisle, casting a warm and inviting glow for the bride’s grand entrance.

For a modern bohemian touch, consider the use of layered vintage rugs. This choice not only adds color but also softens the appearance of a more plain venue. Alternatively, rolled-out carpet in solid white or black offers a moody and alternative look. You can also frame the entrance of the aisle, with Whiskey Barrels or White Wood Columns. Top these with voluminous floral arrangements for a stunning entrance that sets the tone for your celebrations.

Ceremony Backdrop Rentals

While some couples may opt to forgo a backdrop, especially if the venue already has distinctive features. Others may choose to enhance the space with a carefully selected backdrop. Standalone backdrops, such as the Wrought Iron Arch or Fiona Ivory Mantle, present an elegant canvas. Perfect for the addition of greenery or flowers that act as a focal point for your ceremony! For religious ceremonies, options like the Wooden Cross and Chuppah with drapery offer both visual appeal and symbolic significance. If you prefer a more subtle framing of the space, feature White Wood Columns. Topped with large candles or flowers, these offer an elegant touch without overpowering the space.

At Southern Events, our wedding ceremony rentals ensure that you can bring your vision to life on your special day. Explore our offerings and let your ceremony be a true reflection of your love and individual style! Or reach out today to work with a member of our team for assistance planning.

When it comes to winter weddings, there’s a certain magic in the air! Embracing the simplicity and sophistication of the season, consider a black and white color scheme. Whether you’re planning a formal gathering or a more relaxed event. The juxtaposition of these classic hues will lend a timeless look to your day! At Southern Events, we believe that creating a cohesive and beautiful atmosphere is key. That’s why we’re excited to share our favorite ideas for a modern black and white winter wedding, featuring our exquisite event rentals.

Simple Winter Wedding Ceremony Decor

Picture this: saying “I do” surrounded by simple yet stunning decor. We’re talking elegant seating with glowing candles or white floral arrangements placed atop Antique White Columns at the altar. At Southern Events, we have a beautiful inventory of chairs that will make your ceremony pop without stealing the show. Such as our Antique White Bentwood Chairs, bold Black Resin Folding Chairs, or modern Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. For a little extra coziness, line the aisle with mismatched black and white rugs. Keep it simple, keep it classy – that’s the secret sauce!

Black & White Wedding Tables

Now, let’s create a modern black and white wedding reception – where the magic really happens. Depending on whether you prefer a bright or moody look, start with crisp white or black tablecloths. They’re like a blank canvas ready for you to get creative with place settings (whereas the Black Nova Linens are perfect for fans of maximalism). Thankfully, Southern Events has a treasure trove of tableware and linens that’ll let you mix and match to create a vibe that’s all you. To contrast a white tablecloth, stack Glass Chargers with Black Rim, Onyx Earthen China or Carrera Marble Dinner Plates, and Noir Matte Black Flatware. Whereas on top of black, you might feature our Black Round Lacquer Chargers, White Coupe China, and Bradley Flatware.

Moody Cocktail Hour Ideas

Time to transition to the celebration! Picture a moody cocktail hour – dim lights, sleek black and white lounge furniture, and high cocktail tables with chic black linens. For a memorable entrance, greet guests with a custom Harpeth Bar or snazzy Collins Black Wood Bar. Large crowds may require our Thompson Full Oval White Bar. However, any of these will look stunning paired with a Black Barback Shelves. And don’t forget signature black and white cocktails in dazzling glassware. Such as our popular Gatsby Coupe Glasses or contemporary Cybil Goblets. Finally, create some cozy spaces to mingle, whether you prefer lofty bistro tables or lounges. Our Black Mid-Century and Acrylic Square Back Barstools are a dream. As is our Estelle Quarter Round Sofa and the Regent Black Velvet Sofa with accent tables. Add in some black and white throw pillows or blankets to keep it cozy yet oh-so-cool.

Bright, floral-focused weddings are trending! Perhaps due to the renewed interest in maximalist design or a desire to shift away from neutral palettes. In either case, a vivid color scheme will lend a luxe and modern look for the spring and summer seasons. Get inspired to host a colorful spring wedding with these on-trend ideas starring our stylish event rentals. Southern Events Online has everything you need to pull off a chic celebration, from a whimsical garden ceremony to a bold maximalist reception.

Bold Monochromatic Scheme

One of our favorite bright wedding color schemes is a monochromatic palette. Red, blue, orange, pink, or purple – mixing the hues from any one of these colors are perfect for a bold wedding. For example, this gorgeous tented wedding with bright red and pink tablecloths is classically romantic. Especially when complemented by brilliant floral centerpieces and fresh bundles of greenery. Meanwhile, crisp napkins paired with White Round China and Bradley Flatware kept the look modern and airy. Our Gold Chiavari Chairs are a sophisticated touch, as is the Tessa Tufted Beige Linen Loveseat, overall, a super cozy detail the newlyweds will enjoy.

Refreshing Blue & Green Hues

This spring wedding inspiration stars refreshing blue and green hues, for a soft and organic vibe. It’s a gorgeous look for an early spring wedding as we come out of a cold and dreary winter! Start with romantic tablecloths starring bright blues, like our Light Blue Pindot, or you might consider the Blue Kensington linens, for a chic maximalist design. Furthermore, tie in splashes of green using buttery napkins in the color Fern, and create an elegant drink station to greet guests using our Green Goblets. For a fun interactive element, display them on White Barback Bookshelves. If the weather is nice we always recommend an outdoor lounge! Take a look at our romantic Everly Sofa and Chairs, paired with the Blanche Coffee Table and aqua rug.

Rich & Retro Chic

Dreaming of vibrant wedding colors that will bring a sense of retro charm to your big day? Check out this romantic spring wedding starring a bold palette of teal and amber! Our Sea Glass Velvet Tablecloth is a dark base, complemented by Kennedy Storm Napkins, and Earthen Alabaster China with Austin Gold Flatware provides a chic touch.

There is a certain charm to spaces where old meets new. And this style is particularly popular in Downtown Nashville, where event venues are rich with history and the original architecture is celebrated. As is the case with The Clementine! A spacious event hall, it was redesigned and rebuilt in 2018. Despite the recent renovations, however, its design remains true to its origins. Urban yet elegant, it is a versatile space in which couples can pull off the celebration of their dreams. To help you determine whether this venue aligns with your vision, we’re sharing a few ideas for hosting a wedding at The Clementine, featuring our trendy event rentals.

Say “I Do” at Adelaide Hall

An original 1889 church sanctuary, Adelaide Hall is the largest of Clementine’s spaces. Soaring wood beam ceilings, brick walls, hickory floors, massive mid-century chandeliers, and blown glass and steel gothic windows make a statement in this stunning space. Their famous pipe organ is perfect for a sweet ceremony. Decorate the stage with florals or a Wrought Iron Arch in front of the organ. Or use our Chuppah with drapery to soften the space. For ceremony seating, our classic Black Fruitwood Folding Chairs will offer some contrast. While our Davis Glass Cylinders will add a touch of modern elegance to the aisle. Alternatively, feature our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs and layered vintage or cowhide rugs to create a chic contemporary look.

Host an Elegant Urban Reception

Following a ceremony, Adelaide Hall can be quickly flipped for an equally elegant reception. The urban event space is a gorgeous backdrop for a seated dinner. Whether you prefer to feature our round or rectangle Farm Wood Tables. Here you can pull off a timeless neutral palette, to complement the warm-toned walls and floors. Or, incorporate fun pops of color, via luxe linens and stylish serving ware.

At 2,400 square feet, there is plenty of space for catering and white dance floor (with your monogram, of course!). Unless you’d prefer to let the natural wood floors shine! In addition to the beautiful pipe organ, other key areas are the venue’s two stages. Each feature concert-quality audio, video, and decorative LED lighting round things out. Making Clementine an ideal wedding venue if you have plans for live entertainment or a band.

An Intimate Cocktail Hour

What’s better than a venue with a dedicated social space? The Little Bird Lounge features built-in bistro tables and an elegant 20-foot marble bar. Perfect for a casual cocktail hour! An irregularly shaped room with original brickwork and arched windows, it’s a memorable backdrop for a wedding lounge. More specifically, the Pearce Lounge Furniture — a modular sofa easily manipulated to fit within any space. It pairs beautifully with our Gold Hammered Coffee Table.

When the weather is nice, take advantage of their Brash Courtyard, easily accessed through the lounge. Outfit the concrete-walled patio with trendy bistro tables and chairs. Such as our Acrylic Casper Square Back Barstool or Mid Century White Barstool. For an extra luxe look, be sure to grab a set of our Velvet Linens! They look especially charming during the fall, when the surrounding foliage is at its peak.
