We were honored to work with St. Jude’s Farm, Fork & Cork, where our distinct rentals elevated the fundraising efforts of an important cause. Six of Nashville’s best chefs created a meal for over 300 guests at the private Franklin, TN farm of Michael W. Smith. Generous donors were treated to an upscale event with a thoughtful design, featuring natural elements. The contributions from this charity event helped to ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.

Our fundraiser event rentals played up the farm-to-table culinary experience accented by our Harlin Dining Chairs, round guest tables and long Fruitwood Farm Tables, featuring fresh produce & candlelight centerpieces. Classic Madison glassware was set on the tables alongside our popular gold Austin flatware, adding gold detail to each place setting. Attendees dined on our Earthen China Collection, with an Onyx Dinner Plate and Alabaster Salad Plate. Our distinct rentals were a beautiful addition to a great cause – donors were grateful for a beautiful evening out supporting a massively important cause!

The Southern Events team had a fabulous time at CJ’s off the Square in Franklin, TN, where we collaborated on their winter tasting and wedding style showcase! We worked with the team at CJ’s and Enchanted Florist to design a variety wedding style inspiration tablescapes for engaged couples getting married at this intimate garden venue. We brought along some of our most-loved wedding rentals for a truly beautiful affair!

In the garden, we paired rustic Fruitwood Farm Bistro Tables with Cross-Back Bar Stools for a cocktail style set-up. By the koi pond, our luxe Cameo Blush Velvet Linen and Cecilia Floral Matte Satin Linen gave a sumptuous variety of texture within a rosy color palette.

Boho Chic Wedding Design

In the wedding pavilion, brides and grooms-to-be were treated to a bouquet of wedding ideas and inspiration. For our Boho Chic tablescape, we featured Fruitwood Round Farm Tables and Cross-back Chairs, the natural wood set off by our Chiffon Table Runners. We paired Rogue Round Laquer Chargers with our Earthen China in Stone and Pure Glassware to achieve a relaxed and boho-inspired tablescape.

Southern Garden Glamour Wedding Design

Couples looking for more Southern garden glamour were wowed by the Garden Party wedding table. We went all out feminine with our color palette, featuring our pops of gold and soft pink with our gorgeous Gold Chiavari Chairs, Glass Chargers with Gold Rims, Austin Gold Flatware, Blair Salad/Dessert Plates. Vintage-inspired touches like our beautiful Darcy China, Champagne Lace Runners and Gatsby Champagne Coupe Glasses pulled the elegant look together while an ornate and girly centerpiece by Enchanted Florist made everyone swoon.

Modern Minimalist Wedding Design

For a modern engaged couple looking for a sleek design, our Modern Minimalist look is perfect. We kept the color palette and wedding design simple and clean, featuring our Glass Mosaic Dinner Plates and square-bottom Cybil Glassware. Our striking Brushed Copper Flatware provided a pop of color against elegant Charcoal Dupioni Linens and our classic White Resin Folding Chairs.

Moody Modern Drama Wedding Design

The Moody Modern Drama tablescape was a hit with engaged couples looking for a bold wedding design. We highlighted our Onyx Earthen China against bright ivory linens and paired our popular wooden Harlin Dining Chairs for a natural touch. Gold accents with mercury votives and Austin Gold Flatware completed the show-stopping look.

Sweetheart Table Wedding Design

For the sweetheart table, our Cowhide Rug was placed beneath a mini Fruitwood Farm Table. Then it was set with Vintage Constance Chairs and Bloom Chiffon Runner. Copper tubing and over-the-top wedding flowers made this sweetheart table design a striking focal point, fitting of the guests that will cozy up as newlyweds here!

Thanks to Nashville Wedding Photographers Jen and Chris Creed for capturing every moment and to the wonderful Nashville Wedding Venue CJ’s off the Square for their wedding design and planning.

Barn weddings have become a staple of Southern living and the recent open house at Allenbrooke Farms in Spring Hill, Tennessee gave us a blank canvas to reimagine rustic farm weddings. The working organic farm features a new climate control 5800 square feet barn, custom built to host the perfect elegant farm wedding.

The venue includes its own farm tables and cross-back chairs and we love how dark wood of these pieces contrasted with the lighter wood of the barn, creating a beautiful space for the four different place settings we created with their team. Our first tablescape was a classic and understated rustic look featuring our Wood Round Charger, Alabaster Earthen China, and Lincoln Flatware for a simple place setting. A gold tablescape took advantage of our most popular rentals, combining our Gold Round Lacquer Charger and Gold Austin Flatware with varied Gold Heirloom China for a rich vintage feel. A more modern place setting saw our Gold Austin Flatware next to the Glass Belmont Charger with Beaded Edge. When topped with Alabaster Earthen China and Heritage Gray Napkin, this look was a preppier take on the rustic setting. The final tablescape was a dramatic burst of gold and pink with rich blooms from The Enchanted Florist. A Gold Charger was topped with our Alabaster Earthen China and our new Kate Salad Dessert Plate in gold polka dots. Our Gold Metal Intersect Cube completed the look as the centerpiece, styled perfectly to add a little glam to this beautiful barn.  Each look was stunning in its own right and showed off the versatility of the venue. We look forward to the many events they will host!
