Outdoor gatherings and backyard barbecues are quintessential summer soirees. Cape Cod Summer is the latest design trend that buttons up your childhood summertime memories and brings them into the present with a seaside nostalgia. With well-loved designs and some vintage flare, you can celebrate summer in style. Our white farm tables make the perfect foundation – add on napkins in a class blue check print with our Hob Knob goblet and you’ve got a Patriotic party that can’t be beat! We see the Cape Cod Summer design trend taking off at family reunions, company picnics and retreats, rehearsal dinners, and graduation parties this season.

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!

Sophia Flatware

With its organic shape, our Sophia Flatware is a silver flatware set that includes a salad fork, dinner knife, soup spoon, dinner fork and teaspoon (as shown below).  We love this with our Earthern China and Round White China as part of a minimalistic tablescape or pair it with our Darcy or Heirloom China to embrace the feminine detailing.

We see the Palm Springs trend taking off in bridal showers, spring sorieés, ladies’ luncheons and brunch weddings in the coming months.

We are always so excited to be a part of A Very Marry Occasion, where Nashville’s top wedding vendors come together for a truly stunning style showcase. The theme was Organic Luxe and CJ’s Off the Square was the perfect venue – the outdoor garden space lends itself perfectly to being both organic and luxe with ease! Here’s how we made it all happen:

Cross-back Chairs in natural wood were paired with the Grayson Farm Tables for a stunning dining design. To add more luxe, our Hob Nob Glassware collection was on full display with both the water goblet and the wine glass giving a vintage vibe without being too whimsical. All this combined with our Abby Fine Silver flatware and a gorgeous Mediterranean Satin Linen made for a stunning styled tablescape, only to be enhanced even more by the stunning floral centerpieces by Enchanted Florist – swoon!

To mix up the seating arrangements, our 65″ Round Farm Table was incorporated into the floor plan, opposite of the sweetheart table. Speaking of the sweetheart table, a mini White-Wash Farm Table was used with our Tessa Tufted Loveseat – the perfect way for a bride and groom to enjoy their first married meal together. Our feminine Darcy Bone China next to the Hob Knob glassware and Gatsby Champagne Coupe were the perfect touches to the tablescape, adding more elegance to an already luxe design.

In the garden area, we incorporated the Farm Style Bistro Tables for easy but stylish mingling. We love when couples opt to keep the decor all in the family – the various farm style tables are beautiful together, yet purposefully unique enough to not look too uniform.

Also in the garden, we made sure to provide comfortable outdoor seating by bringing in our Sutton Furniture Collection. The Mediterranean color was the perfect way to tie in those blue linens on the dining table, keeping every part of the decor and theme beautifully cohesive. The Enchanted Florist helped elevate our rentals again by placing thoughtful low arrangements on the furniture, bringing out the colors of the gorgeous garden and the Organic Luxe theme itself.

Thank you so much to Phindy Studios for the photos! It was a very marry occasion, indeed.

Thank you to all the vendors involved! We love working with each one of you. Wolfe Gourmet Cakes, CJ’s Off the Square, Enchanted Florist, McConnell Hospitality Group, Phindy Studios Photography, and Premier Entertainment Company.

Brighter weddings and events are on the horizon according to the Pantone Colors of the Year 2017. We love the idea of staying ahead of the trends and incorporating colors that are sure to be seen and well loved on both runways and inside homes for the next couple of years. Care to join us? Our inventory has everything you need!

NIAGARA – The Amanda Chair is the perfect way to bring in Niagara – a moody, denim-like shade of blue – to any celebration or event. The relaxed hue on this particular chair is ideal for a vintage theme – think of pairing it with one of our Farm Tables and our Hob Knob glass collection for a perfect tablescape, or put it next to our mint green Marjorie Coffee Table for a more whimsical look.

Trying to keep things understated and timeless? Simply add an ice blue dinner napkin along with our White Round China Collection for a more minimalist design.

LAPIS BLUE – This deeper shade of blue lends itself to a more modern or more dramatic color palette. And we have the perfect piece of furniture to do just that: our Rhapsody in Blue Side Chair in high back, low back, or dining chair styles.

The gorgeous details of these chairs can easily upgrade any simple design to make a bigger statement. Pair it with white tables like the Trellis side table or Mykonos Coffee Table for a modern look and feel. Or, get dramatic by pairing it with the Urban Drum Coffee Table.

Want to skip the chair but keep the Lapis? We have a table runner or dinner napkin for that! The pop of color adds depth to any tablescape.

PRIMROSE – Bring on the fun with the bright and joyful yellow that is primrose. Incorporate the vitality and excitement of this shade in your event with beautiful vintage pieces in a variety of bright yellow shades. Our Sunny Rolling Cart is the perfect vintage piece to hold your photo booth props, or even displaying your forks, napkins, plates, etc. Keep the pop of primrose throughout by incorporating some of our wooden beverage crates – Pepsi, Double Cola, and Sun Drop crates are all shades of yellow! Add on to the vintage fun by adding assorted vintage suitcases and old story books throughout.

When Nashville’s top wedding planners gather, one would expect a stylish setting.  The recent meeting of the Nashville Wedding Planners Group at the new Sycamore Farms gave them a stylish setting and an equal stylish table to dine.  Our Grey Goose Linens were set with our Darcy China, Hob Nob Glassware and Gold Austin Flatware creating a feminine tablescape that felt relaxed and on trend.  Tall arrangements of greenery and white & blush blooms from Owsley Designs made for easy conversation. We love this look for a ladies luncheon, daytime wedding, shower or dinner party.

Sycamore Farms is located in Arrington, TN on 28 Acres.  It features the gorgeous hall show below (check out that chandelier!) and lots of outdoor spaces to set up bars, lounges or take unique pictures. Thanks to Kristin Sweeting for the beautiful photos!

Festivals fill a Southerner’s fall calendar as the cooler weather coaxes people from their air-conditioned homes.  These events feature causal styling, industrial details and bold shades of red, navy & taupe. An obvious fit for a fall festival, this design also works well for a songwriter’s night, tailgate, birthday party or causal rehearsal dinner.

Nfocus Magazine’s annual Alfresco is a lovely event benefitting a great cause, and Southern Events was happy to provide rentals for the soiree. Held at the Westhaven Resident’s Club in Franklin, Alfresco was an unforgettable evening of Southern dining, whiskey and wine pairings, and live music. The annual event benefits Franklin 4 the Cure, which  promotes lifelong learning, leadership, preservation, philanthropy and environmental awareness within Westhaven and the greater Franklin community. The delicious cuisine was provided by The Food Company. Guests dined at our Fruitwood Farm Tables, set with our Austin Gold Flatware and Artisan China. Refreshing cocktails were served in our Recycled Wine Bottle Glassware Collection. All the details came together for a beautiful evening!

We’ve gathered opulent, elegant details that would be perfect for a corporate conference, awards ceremony, gala, or fundraiser. Gold details, from the china to the linen patterns and flatware, will add opulence and warmth to any drab conference center or neutral space. Our Fruitwood Bistro Tables are a unique alternative to the standard bistro or cocktail table, with a natural surface that keeps the overall event design fresh and on-trend. Add our Casablanca Lanterns and a few florals, and the scene is set for an elegant evening!
