One of the premier charity events in Tennessee, the Phoenix Ball is a black tie gala benefiting Cumberland University. This year’s theme was Draped In Decadence: Masked in Mystery, featuring our luxe gold & ivory gala rentals. Keep reading to get inspired for your own fundraiser or gala.

A Grand Event Entrance

Upon arriving at the venue, guests were welcomed inside via a red carpet. To create a more elegant entrance, the walls were lined with white draping. Our Loren Gold Bistro Table was set up to greet guests, along with some bubbly! The Gold Boxwood Wall was decorated with white shelving for flutes and a custom neon sign, making for a fun photo op.

Gold & Ivory Tablescapes

Matching the theme, the dinner tables were created using gold and ivory serving ware. To make the most of the space, we used a mix of round and rectangular tables, along with our classic Gold Chiavari Chairs. They were dressed in coordinated linens, including Gold Furrow, Ivory Pearl Shalimar, and Victorian Gold Luxe. Each place setting featured a gold or silver charger, along with our stunning Ophelia or Hamlet China, and Austin Flatware.

Luxe & Comfy Lounges

For any fundraiser or gala to be a success, you need comfy areas for guests to relax and converse. Throughout the event space, we created a range of small and large lounges. The largest being our neutral Pearce Lounge, complemented with the sleek Blanche Coffee Table. Smaller areas included a pair of Fantasma Acrylic Chairs and a trio of Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. And our always popular white leather Mercer Collection!

Spaces for Entertainment

The focal point of the gala was an expansive white dance floor set to our Harpeth Stage Facade. Set to the beautiful white drapery and crystal curtains, it was a stunning setting for dancing & celebrating. On either side, bars were also accessible. And they were stocked with a variety of classic glassware, including Martini and Highball Glasses, plus Champagne Flutes.

Custom Bar & Food Displays

With such a large event space, we wanted to ensure that food and drinks were easily accessible from any point. In addition to being welcomed with champagne, guests could access a bar both indoors and outdoors. Our elegant white Harpeth bars were outfitted with a custom insert to match the gold & ivory gala theme. A pair of gold bar back shelves were also used to display some sweet treats and was adjacent to a small coffee bar.

A special shout out to Phindy Studios for sharing the photos from this fabulous event!

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 Arranged Nashville 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 Arranged Nashville 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!

Bonus Tip! Neutral Accents

Too much of a good thing applies when styling an event with metallics: ground your design with neutral elements, like our Grayson Farm Tables or Ghost Chairs. Better yet, combine them together for an optical illusion: the lucite and gray can combine to look silver with the right lighting & design. Add a Chiffon Runner and set with your favorite metallic tableware for a winter wonderland-inspired tablescape.
