Nothing beats the classic elegance of black-and-white wedding design! This timeless color combination is perfect for any season and creates a sleek and sophisticated ambiance for your big day. Get inspired by a styled shoot hosted at Diamond Creek Farm, featuring stylish event rentals from Southern Events Online. From chic acrylic seating to bold linens, we have everything you need to host an elevated black-and-white wedding.

Simple Chic Ceremony

For this styled shoot, we aimed to showcase the beauty of a modern black-and-white wedding. Starting with an elegant outdoor ceremony! Hosting outdoors is all about letting nature shine. At Diamond Creek, this entails the sprawling Tennessee farmlands. Just past the veranda, a manicured lawn overlooking the countryside is a fitting setting for a vow exchange. Ceremony seating consisted of our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. The clear material is chic and it doesn’t take away from the view. The outdoor space is elevated with a floral backdrop made of white flowers and dark greenery. An equally stunning alternative, consider our Fiona Mantle with the same flower arrangement. Off to the side, a bistro table is dressed up with Black Nova Linens for a live painter.

Luxe Black and White Lounge

An elegant black and white lounge area with some grey accents is the perfect addition to any wedding. An essential for a cocktail hour! This type of setup creates a chic and sophisticated space for guests to relax and socialize in. Start with our luxurious Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa and the matching Armchairs. To frame the space we always recommend a rug, and in this case, our Black-Silver Rug is perfect. It pairs beautifully with a set of Echo Mirror Silver Side Tables. If you like a little contrast, place a Gold Hammered Coffee Table in the center. Or you can keep to the color scheme and opt for pewter.

Contemporary Tablescape

The table was set with a stunning combination of black-and-white elements. We used a Grey Goose tablecloth as the base, complemented by a romantic Dove Grey Table Runner. The use of soft grey linens allowed the pure white flower centerpieces to shine! On top, we placed Glass Chargers with a Black Rim and Earthen Onyx China to create contrast. Matched by Noir Matte Black Flatware and solid Black Poly Napkins. Cybil Wine Glasses and Champagne flutes were a fun and funky addition that lent a contemporary flair. Complete with the same acrylic seating from the ceremony, this tablescape exudes modern luxury. Thanks to the natural palette it is also versatile! It would look just as beautiful for a minimalist celebration in a modern event barn as it would for a black-tie wedding in a grand ballroom.

Featuring our stylish rentals and a cool-toned color scheme, check out the details of a styled shoot hosted at Southall Meadows, inspired by the magic of the cosmos.

A Chic Indoor Ceremony

The Hall at Southall Meadows was the perfect setting for a ceremony, with a towering ceiling and blank white walls. It lent an airy atmosphere, softened by romantic white drapery. Complemented by our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. If you have a larger guest count or are feeling inspired by the universe, place them in a half circle for an elegant ceremony in the round. Want to make a memorable first impression? Greet guests at the ceremony space with a colorful mocktail displayed on a White 6-Tier Serving Tower.

Bright Modern Cocktail Party

A bright celestial-themed cocktail hour is a fun and unique way to celebrate your big day. In line with the ceremony, we created a modern setup where guests could grab a drink, get comfortable and mingle prior to dinner. Starting with our elegant curved Harpeth Bar. A classic piece that can be customized with your new last name or a custom monogram!

Celestial-Inspired Cocktails

The bar was stocked with a variety of contemporary glassware, including Gatsby Champagne Coupe and Temptations Glasses. The unique shapes are perfect for serving up quirky signature drinks that embody the theme. Such as a blue-colored drink with glitter for a “galaxy” effect! For additional seating, we opted to feature our modular Pearce Lounge with a Black-Silver Rug. We also have cocktail tables outfitted in Black Nova Linens with Mid-Century Barstools, in black or white.

Modern Celestial Wedding Reception

Come dinner time, we wanted to create a slightly more intimate atmosphere. This is why we set up in the historic barn, which lent a more down-to-earth vibe. It also ensured that the tablescapes, starring a splash of celestial-inspired colors, stood out! Wood banquet tables featured a Sahara Runner in Ivory and round were covered with White Etched Velvet Tablecloths. They were contrasted by sleek serving ware: Glass Chargers with a Black Rim, stacked with Earthen Alabaster and Stone China, and Noir Matte Black Flatware. Meridian Blue Tumblers and Dusty Blue Etched Velvet Napkins lent a unique pop of blue! While Acrylic chairs were a modern and elegant touch.

Non-Floral Table Centerpieces

At each table, centerpieces starred voluminous plumes of dried ferns and pampas, for a subtle bohemian vibe. Although if you want to tone down the florals, consider a non-floral centerpiece starring our Gold Metal Intersect Cube. The bright geometric design is ethereal and the shimmering gold will make your serving ware pop. Place candles around each cube or at the center, depending on how much lighting you would like to feature.

Modern romance was the vision for our inspiration style shoot at the breathtaking Estate at Cherokee Dock in Nashville, TN. The shoot featured a dreamy pink, white and gold color palette as ee partnered with the wedding planning team from It Takes Two. Pairing romantic vintage rentals with sleek, modern rentals to create this look, we’re in love with the results!

White draping under a gorgeous magnolia tree on the estate provided the perfect canvas for a romantic outdoor affair. For our garden dining area, we paired vintage inspired Adeline Dining Chairs with Ivory Luxe Linens for texture and romantic style. Our table setting included our elegant Gatsby Champagne Coupe, Madison Glassware, and charming Darcy China combined with metallic modern accents. Our gold Austin Flatware, Vera Floral Gold Accent Dessert Plate, and Medallion Gold Glass Charger provided just enough sparkle while a beautiful floral centerpiece by Petals and Fields tied everything together.

For the ceremony, Acrylic Ghost Chairs provided an unexpected touch of modern style to the ceremony, completing the marriage modern and romantic. A few of our favorite vintage pieces, including our Vintage Harper Couch and Leona Coffee Table, were used to create intimate lounge area while our Acrylic Rectangle Containers tied back to the other modern touches.

The fabulous cake by Lillian Lane Bakery was displayed on an elegant White Chiffon Runner over our Isabel Oval Table, and surrounded the gorgeous confection with candlelight, set off in our Davis Glass Cylinders. So much to love!

We were delighted to work with the team at Double Creek Farms in beautiful Culleoka, TN to create this gorgeous, gothic rustic wedding inspiration. Mood elegance with chic rustic details is a favorite wedding trend and the warm wood walls and soaring arched ceilings of this gorgeous wedding venue south of Nashville provided the perfect backdrop.

Lush greenery wove through gold and marble accents, including our Carrera Marble Dinner Plates. Each color set off perfectly against our White Washed Farm Tables and soft blush linens. This moody, dramatic design with a rustic twist is perfect for upcoming fall weddings or winter celebrations and parties.

For our table settings, we paired our popular Austin Flatware and the gorgeous Carrera Marble Dinner Plates with our glass Belmont Charger and Pure Glassware. The result was a mix of modern wedding design with stunning vintage elegance! Subtle color from our Wedgewood Poly and Blush Shimmer linens completed the event design white gold geometric accents like our Gold Metal Sphere added sparkle to the tablescape.

Clean, sophisticated lines and chic rustic details were a match made in Nashville heaven at our most recent Styled Shoot. We teamed up with Ruffled Feathers Events and Homestead Manor to transform their space with an inspiring aesthetic. Rustic beauty was literally suspended midair!

Golden metallics sat upon raw, natural wood to create a stunning design – it’s classic rustic southern style all grown up, with modern flourishes and gilded details! For the first setting, our most-loved Austin Flatware sat elegantly next to the Gold Rim Glass Charge, topped with a copper-meets-mauve Russet satin dinner napkin. The second table setting saw Artisan China, Rouge Round Laquer Charger, and Gatsby Champagne Coupes, next to Pure Glassware – such a beautiful metallic rustic modern design!

Acrylic Ghost Chairs provided an enchanting touch of modern to the suspended wooden table. Our Pure Glassware completed the modern touch with sleek, crystalline lines.
