Southern Love: Emerald & Gold Event Design at the Rutherford Society Gala

Events and Style Shoots, Southern Events Products

Supporting image

Emerald and gold speaks to opulence and set the tone for the event design at the 13th Annual Rutherford Society Gala. A black-tie affair, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville in southeast Murfreesboro was transformed into an elegant affair. A mix of vibrant and deep greens, white furniture and golden accents made for a luxurious setting.

It is easy to take emerald and gold event design and end up over the top. With beautiful but simple pieces, a chic and functional space is possible. Alongside a pleasing aesthetic our aim is to eliminate any feelings of claustrophobia. It is a cocktail hour after all! Pieces like our Pearce Furniture, a chic modular lounge, and bistro tables will prompt guests towards social areas for a drink well throughout the evening.

The elegant layout and grandeur spilled over to the main ballroom for a 3-course meal. Paired with rich velvet tablecloths and white linens are the perfect amount of gold metallics to make it all pop! This includes Chiavari Chairs, gold-rimmed Athena Plates, and Austin Flatware. A touch of fresh florals in clear glass vases goes on to add some natural beauty.

The best events don't feel like a series of rooms. They feel like one continuous experience.

That's harder to pull off than it sounds, and it usually starts with the rental selections. When the furniture, tabletop, and lounge pieces are chosen with the full day in mind rather than space by space, guests move through an event without ever feeling the transition.

Bold florals need a tabletop that knows when to step back 🌸 A classic combination of ivory and white kept this reception looking refined rather than minimal! Our Darcy China remains a fan-favorite for couples who want a reception that oozes no-frill romance.

We love a tented reception for a lot of reasons. The way color looks under sailcloth is near the top of the list. 🌿

Shades that might feel bold indoors take on a whole different quality in filtered natural light — warmer, softer, and somehow exactly right. It's one of those things you have to see in person to fully appreciate.

A hotel ballroom offers a lot — flexible layout, high ceilings, a neutral canvas. What it doesn't offer by default is warmth.

When hosting at a ballroom, the rental selections are what bridge that gap. Texture, color, lighting, and furniture choices determine whether a ballroom feels like a wedding or a conference. It's a distinction worth thinking through early.

Blue and white at @cjsoffthesquare. Simple, bright, and completely right for the space. 💙 An open-air gazebo doesn't need much, just the right colors and enough confidence to let the venue do the heavy lifting.

When the florals are that good, the chairs just need to show up. 🌸 White resin folding chairs in a garden ceremony. Simple, clean, and completely at home at The Cordelle.
