Nashville, with its picturesque countryside and rustic charm, provides the perfect backdrop for a whimsical farm wedding. Whether you’re opting for the green spaces of rural Nashville or transforming your own backyard, there’s an abundance of opportunities to infuse your special day with vibrant colors, vintage charm, and a touch of Southern hospitality. Explore our stunning rentals, plus event design tips, for inspiration on how to host a modern farm wedding that will leave your family and friends in awe.

Lush Outdoor Ceremony Ideas

There’s something truly magical about exchanging vows surrounded by the beauty of nature. Make the most of the beautiful weather and seasonal foliage by hosting your ceremony outdoors. Start by embracing the farm wedding aesthetic when you feature wooden chairs for seating, adding a touch of rustic charm to your setting. Both our Harlin Dining and Cross-Back Chairs are an elegant choice. Further, create a homey and eclectic atmosphere, by lining the aisle with layered, mismatched vintage rugs. This unexpected detail adds warmth and personality to your ceremony space. As a result, guests will feel right at home amidst the natural beauty of the outdoors. Do you need a backdrop rental? Consider our classic Wood Cross or the elegant Fiona Ivory Mantle – a stunner decorated with colorful florals!

Design a Cozy Backyard Cocktail Hour

After your ceremony, transition seamlessly into a cozy backyard cocktail hour. Whether adjacent to a barn wedding venue or in your own backyard, this is the perfect opportunity to relax and celebrate. Start by setting the scene with our whiskey barrel bar and charming vintage-inspired glassware. Choose from an array of beautiful colors to complement your theme. For example, some of the most popular options include the Savoy Green and Amalia Light Pink Goblets.

If you want to provide a unique interactive experience, treat your guests to a build-your-own bouquet station. Using our Market Cart, this is a delightful wedding favor that adds a personal touch to your day. If the weather is looking particularly sunny or breezy, consider renting a tent. Providing shade and relief for your guests will ensure everyone stays comfortable throughout the festivities. Weather permitting, you might also provide cozy lounge areas. Mix and match our lounge furniture to create your own, or feature a large piece like the Estelle Quarter Round Sofa.

Host a Forest Wedding Reception

As the sun begins to set, transition into a forest wedding reception that feels both intimate and enchanting. Feature several of our long wood banquet tables placed end-to-end. Such as the Aged Oak or Fruitwood Farm Dining Tables. Showcase yet soften the wood tabletop with romantic Sahara Table Runners, topped with elegant china and colorful floral centerpieces. When creating your place settings, mix and match modern and rustic pieces. For example, you might stack our Rattan White Wash Charger and Earthen Alabaster China. If you want to lean into the vintage aesthetic, our mismatched Heirloom or Emmie Floral China are a charming choice.

For seating, Clear Ghost Arm Chairs are a modern yet ethereal seating option. They will lend a touch of contemporary flair to your rustic tablescape. With string lights overhead, watch as the forest comes alive with a warm glow, creating a truly mesmerizing atmosphere for you and your guests to enjoy well into the night.

Organizing an event requires meticulous planning and attention to detail. One crucial aspect that can significantly impact the overall aesthetics and comfort of your gathering is the choice of tables and chairs for your event. At Southern Events Online, we understand the importance of creating an atmosphere that aligns with your style or theme. Whether you’re aiming for a modern rustic feel, contemporary elegance, classic sophistication, or a touch of whimsy, our in-stock tables and chairs are designed to complement and enhance the ambiance of any occasion.

Wood Event Furniture

Modern rustic has been the go-to for an elegant yet down-to-earth look. A feat that is easy to achieve with our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Cross-back Chairs. If you’re dreaming of a more sophisticated vibe, our modern Farm tables are available in two shades: Aged Oak and Antique White. Both of these pair beautifully with the Adeline and Harlin dining chairs featuring sturdy backs. For a playful touch of color, consider our Antique White Bentwood or Black Willow Chairs. While we discourage covering up a stunning wood tabletop, a soft runner like the Sahara Table Runners in rich shades of Rust or Indigo can add an extra layer of charm.

Contemporary Acrylic Rentals

Acrylic is having its moment, and Southern Events Online is on board! Our Acrylic Ghost Arm and Armless Chairs are the go-to for a minimalist look that can be contrasted with rich linens or complemented with a neutral scheme. Available as barstools with Round and Square Backs, they are perfect for a quaint cocktail hour. The Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair offers a more ethereal design, fitting for a whimsical garden party, while the eccentrically named Acrylic Fantasma Side Chair is an eye-catching piece that can elevate any event.

Chiavari Chairs for Rent

Remaining a fan favorite, Chiavari Chairs are the epitome of classic elegance. Simple in design, they exude luxury and are available in four beautiful shades. Gold is a popular choice for grand affairs, like corporate celebrations hosted in a ballroom. While Black is more popular for urban events, such as weddings at The Clementine or The Ruby in Nashville. White will lend a more airy look, however, don’t underestimate dark Fruitwood. It is an understated color that will elevate any casual outdoor gathering.

Specialty Tables & Chairs

These rentals fall into a category of their own! The Palmer Bistro Tables and Chairs, made of light wood with intricate details, bring a coastal but luxe vibe. For outright glam, the Charleston Bistro Table with a Marble Top pairs perfectly with Gold Chiavari Barstools. The Loren Gold Bistro Tables are a comfortable choice for larger parties and exude sophistication, especially when paired with Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Or, consider our Mid Century Barstools for a stylish nod to times past when featuring cocktail tables with linens.

Children’s Party Furniture

Hosting a children’s party? Size-appropriate furniture goes a long way to ensure comfort and inclusivity. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Cross-Back Chairs are also available in a size to accommodate children, ensuring a cohesive event. Along with classic White Resin Folding Chairs. For children, our Chiavari Chairs come in Pastel Pink and Clear Acrylic, adding fun colors to any celebration. Or take your event to the next level with Gold Bow Children’s Chairs. These will offer a chic look whether you’re hosting a lavish garden party or a space adventure.

We adore dressing fabulous Nashville area venues in Southern Events rentals, and Long Hollow Gardens is one of our absolute favorites. Long Hollow Gardens is a super unique event venue. It is actually a greenhouse! Couples can achieve that “outdoor wedding” feel with all of the comfort of remaining indoors (think gorgeous summer wedding without all the heat!). Oh, and don’t forget about the exquisite natural light pouring into the venue. On this 35 acre property, you’ll find a vineyard, their Farmhouse Bridal Cottage, and Hearthroom Barn. With enough space for 200 guests, it’s a great venue for weddings and events of all sizes.

Our neutral, natural rentals really shine at Long Hollow Gardens. The Cross-Back Chairs look tailor-made for this venue and are incredibly inviting paired with ivory linens. When outfitting the Greenhouse, we typically stick to neutral color palettes in order to let nature shine. From the Bennett Leather Sofa to the Fruitwood Farm Table, many of our rentals look as if they belong at this one-of-a-kind venue. However, we are not opposed to dreaming up a colorful look with our Saylor Velvet Furniture rentals. We are in love with how this location serves as a backdrop for pretty much any dreamy look a couple could conjure up.

Be sure to visit their website to learn more about hosting your Southern event at this greenhouse venue. Photos by Julie Paisley.

We had the most amazing time at City Winery Nashville‘s Open House, where our distinct wedding rentals helped redefine the unique downtown Nashville wedding space. We love coming here and how our different rentals can change the space – check out the previous open house we partnered on at City Winery! This time, our team mixed modern elements with rustic foundations and some of our newest rentals creating a jaw-dropping design for weddings and couples.

Upstairs, our Adeline Dining Chairs were displayed with City Winery’s large family style table. The rustic vibe of the wooden furniture was accented beautifully by modern place settings, including the Pure Glassware, Rouge Round Chargers, and Earthen China in Alabaster and Stone. As a centerpiece, votive candles and garland were placed in our new Acrylic Rectangle Container.

A lounge area was designed with two Santorini Sofas and Winstead Grey Tufted Bench atop the new Cow Hide Rug. It was all situated beautifully beneath the stunning chandelier as a great informal area for guests to chit-chat.

In the large concert area, we set-up additional tablescapes using our loved Harlin Dining Chairs as guest seating. Ghost Chairs, Charcoal Satin Linen, and Gold Metal Intersect Cubes decorated round tables beneath more beautiful chandeliers. On stage, we debuted our new Gray and Blush Area Rug with a Grayson Farm Table, Gold Metal Intersect Cubes, and Belmont Glass Beaded Chargers.

Just outside the bar area, another lounge area featuring modern wedding rentals with our Metallic Cow Hide Rug was on display. Mercer Leather Couches, Mercer White Ottomans, Silver Throw Pillows and our new Cheval Gold Side Tables were styled together for a modern and chic design.

Southern Events had the best time helping the Nashville Cavaliers celebrate puppy love at their Valentine’s Day Party… aka the CALentine’s PAWty! We were pleased as punch to work with the wonderful Fete Nashville and Enchanted Florist, providing some of our sweetest rentals for the adorable affair.

White wash Farm Bistro Tables were on display and used to show delectable desserts for both canines and their humans. Our Hob Knob Glassware was a delightfully whimsical touch for the puppies’ people to sip and mingle, while darling dogs were treated to the yummiest treats! Our Children’s Farm Tables and Children’s Cross Back Chairs paired perfectly together and were just the right height for the sweet pups to enjoy a delicious snack. The fruitwood from the tables and natural wood from the chairs were a perfect accent and looked even more stunning with florals from Enchanted Florist. And because everyone loves a lounge area, the Cavaliers were treated to one as well with our Black & White Stripe Cabana Bench and the always gorgeous White Trellis Side Table.

So many cute pups, such little time! Thanks so much to Mandy Whitley Photography for these lovely photos.

Planning your big day can be an overwhelming endeavor, but designing your big day should be genuinely fun and exciting!

Wedding Style: Modern Chic

Modern Chic is a darling design that features sleek lines combined with bright colors and lots of texture. Neutral Grayson Farm Tables set the scene and a dressed to the nines with Gold Austin Flatware, Medallion Gold Chargers, and Black & White Triangle Plates. We love the acrylic Ghost Chairs on one side, and the Midas Gold Velour Bench on the other for a unique take on seated dinners.

Wedding Style: Garden Romantic

A sweetly romantic garden party is a wonderful and heartfelt way to exchange vows, with a soft color palette and plenty of vintage touches. Distressed Farm Tables in white wash with natural wood Cross Back Chairs or our Harlin Dining Chairs welcome guests into a secret garden, where dreamy rentals set the scene. Tables are adorned with ornate details like our Hob Knob Glassware and Abby Fine Silver Flatware next to satin dinner napkins, or placed perfectly among Chiffon Table Runners. Lounge areas aren’t left out, as our Tessa Tufted Linen Beige Loveseat with wooden legs adds natural subtle romance to any area.
