As the crisp autumn air settles in and the leaves begin to turn shades of gold, CJ’s Off the Square in Franklin, Tennessee, becomes a magical setting for an intimate fall wedding. One such celebration, styled in rich tones of emerald and amber, perfectly captured the season’s essence. From a romantic garden ceremony to a cozy reception, every detail was thoughtfully curated with pieces from Southern Event Rental.

A Cozy Bohemian Garden Ceremony

The newlyweds exchanged vows on the patio beneath a floral arch constructed with lush greenery and bold florals. Guests sat in our classic fruitwood folding chairs, offering a rustic touch. For an equally stunning alternative, our wood cross-back chairs would have been an excellent option. The aisle was thoughtfully decorated with a collection of layered vintage rugs. Each one lent its own charm and texture to the scene, along with a splash of color. The result? A ceremony that felt as intimate and personal as it was beautiful.

Bourbon Tasting & Cozy Lounges

As the ceremony concluded, guests were invited to a cocktail hour that featured two distinctly styled bar areas. The first showcased our elegant Thompson White Bar, dressed up with a custom banner bar sign. Signature cocktails were served up in a mix of colorful beaded tumblers and our crystal Moncaco glassware—perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to every sip.

The second bar, crafted from whiskey barrels, catered to the couple’s love of bourbon. Paired with a sleek black bookcase displaying an impressive selection of bourbons and shot glasses. A simple setup that created a stylish tasting experience. Nearby, a cozy lounge area awaited guests, complete with our Bennett Leather Sofa and a pair of Gloria Velvet Armchairs. To keep the evening chill at bay, our hammered rectangle fire pit was a must, ensuring comfort as the sun set and the festivities continued.

Eclectic Elegance in Emerald and Amber

The reception was a stunning mix of textures and colors, creating a cozy yet eclectic atmosphere that perfectly suited the season. Mismatched tables brought an element of surprise and charm. With round tables dressed in luxurious emerald velvet linens that contrasted beautifully with our bare fruitwood banquet tables. Meanwhile, textured bohemian-inspired centerpieces added depth and interest.

The place settings were a true showstopper: Black Rim Glass Chargers provided a sleek foundation, while Onyx Earthen China added a modern, earthy feel. Brushed Copper Flatware brought in a warm metallic element. And our Kennedy Ivory Napkins offered a soft, refined finish. Together, these elements created a dining experience that was as visually appealing as it was inviting.

With every detail thoughtfully curated, this fall wedding at CJ’s Off the Square was a dreamy outdoor affair. A special shoutout to John Myers Photography for sharing the photos with us!

Add to the ambiance of your wedding reception when you design a memorable fall-inspired tablescape. If you’re leaning into the warm tones of the season, consider creating a bold table that stars rich Spice Velvet Napkins and Onyx Earthenware. Or create a luxe neutral place setting with metallic-accented serving ware, like the Copper Glass Charger and sleek Brushed Copper Flatware. If you’re planning to feature wood furniture, don’t cover it up! Complement the beautiful grain with simple settings, such as a Natural Sahara Runner and timeless Coupe China.

An autumnal cocktail hour is a delightful way to celebrate the season with your guests. Our selection of cocktail tables and bar setups are perfect for creating an inviting space for mingling and enjoying seasonal drinks. Consider the bold Collins Black Wood Bar matched by a Backback Shelf and a set of Whiskey Barrels for cocktail tables. Alternatively, you can’t go with the elegant Thompson Oak Bar contrasted by richly colored velvet linens. To complete the look, serve up your signature drinks in fanciful glassware. For example, the Gastby Coupe or Amber Deco Tumblers!

Cozy Outdoor Lounge Furniture

Encourage your guests to relax and enjoy the crisp fall weather with our cozy outdoor lounge furniture. Our collection includes plush sofas, comfortable armchairs, and elegant coffee tables, all designed to create a welcoming lounge area. The Jacqueline or Fern Velvet Sofas are always a hit this time of year, featuring a buttery velvet material and rich colors. They pair beautifully with our Bamboo or Adeline Arm Chairs. Or create a set of smaller lounges with a set of the Gloria or Marine and our Hammered Gold Coffee Table. Add some throw blankets and pillows in autumnal colors to enhance the cozy vibe.

Ambient Outdoor Dance Floors

Keep the party going under the stars with our outdoor dance floors! Surrounded by cozy lounge areas, this area will be a hotspot post-dinner. Moreso with a sweeping canopy tent overhead, elevated by string lights or lanterns to create a magical atmosphere.

Danielle and Jonathon’s romantic fall wedding at CJ’s Off the Square is Exhibit A for the best of this season’s trends. The classic whites and muted florals used early this spring are being mixed in with the darker tones of fall to create an elegant, ethereal feel. The couple incorporated several Southern details to bring their vision to life. Our Cora Couch, Lydia chairs, and Francis Coffee Table provided the perfect setup for guests and wedding attendants to sit and chat. And we love the look of our Whiskey Barrels displaying those lush bouquets of baby’s breath! Our wooden folding chairs provided seating for the ceremony, while the reception featured our crossback chairs and vintage ivory lace, as well as our mercury glass votives. The end result was absolutely gorgeous!
