We created this special look for the Nashville chapter of ISES – their monthly meeting of wedding and event professionals was held at Riverwood Mansion and it gave Southern Events a great excuse to show off some of our newest rental items.  For this event we wanted to create a modern expression of shabby chic.  Vintage furniture, textured florals and an mostly ivory and white color palette was stunning against the lush greenery that surrounds the venue.  You will spy our new Artisan China, Jackson Silver Pedestal Bistro Table and Pearlie Side Chair as well as some old favorites like our Vienna Couch (with her ivory slipcover), White Wash Farm Tables, Cross-back Chairs, Wooden Chargers and various vintage goodies.  Romantic and and relaxed it was a beautiful setting to spend an evening mingling with our fellow industry friends.

The lovely florals are courtesy of Branching Out Event Florist and our good friend (and super talented photographer) Gregory Byerline captured the great pictures you see here.  We hope this inspires your wedding or event – enjoy!

We have been looking forward to sharing Melissa and Rob’s summer wedding with you since we first starting working with this sweet couple.  The couple envisioned a relaxed, elegant celebration highlighting the canopy of nature that surround the lakeside site.  We took their vision and added our White Wash Farm Tables, Cross-Back Chairs, Heirloom China, and various items from our Vintage Prop Shoppe for a result that is simply stunning!

Gregory Byerline was the uber-talented shooter behind the awesome pictures you see below.  While he generally specializes in bridal portraiture, he considers a limited number of weddings in a year that he shoots.  Either way, working with him always means AMAZING images and he should definitely be on your short list of Nashville photographers.

Congrats to Melissa and Rob – We hope your day was a magical as it looked 🙂
