Wondering what rentals do I need for a fall wedding in Tennessee? We’ve rounded up our favorites below.

Whiskey Barrels & Wood Bars

Set the stage for your wedding with the rustic charm of whiskey barrels, wood bars, and classic columns. These rentals blend seamlessly into natural settings and offer both warmth and elegance. Whiskey barrels can be styled as cocktail tables, while wood bars serve as a stylish focal point for a beverage station or cocktail hour. Pair them with our Antique White or Fruitwood Columns to frame your space and add structure that feels timeless. Whether you’re hosting your wedding in a vineyard or a rustic barn, these rentals bring a touch of Southern charm to your celebration.

Modern Rustic Tables & Chairs

Create an inviting and stylish event with modern rustic tables and chairs. These rentals combine the raw beauty of wood with modern details. The natural textures and earthy tones complement the fall season, while offering guests a comfortable and beautiful place to gather. Opt for round tables with Cross-Back Chairs for intimate dinners, or go for a long, banquet-style setup with rustic benches. For a more elevated option, our Aged Oak Dining Tables provide a fresh, elegant twist on the traditional rustic look. And for outdoor ceremonies, our Harlin Dining Chair is a refined choice that balances comfort and sophistication. Curious what table settings are popular for fall weddings?

Artisan & Recycled Serving Ware

Elevate your Tennessee fall weddings with artisan and recycled serving ware. The simple and charming designs will add a unique and personal touch to your wedding reception, from handmade Earthen China to timeless Glass Mosaic Dinner Plates. Southern Events offers a range of serving ware for an autumnal theme. Create a modern minimalist place setting using Rattan White Washed Chargers, Alabaster Earthen China, and Gold Austin Flatware. Or, opt for a moody seasonal palette with a Copper Glass Charger, Onyx Earthen China, and Brushed Copper Flatware. Complete the look with Recycled Glassware or Amber Goblets!

Romantic Runners & Linens

Bring a touch of romance and sophistication to your tables with soft runners and linens. Embrace the rich hues of fall with deep burgundies, warm oranges, and earthy browns. For an extra hint of warmth, perfect when chilly temperatures are in the forecast, opt for velvet napkins or tablecloths. Our current favorites include Golden Velvet and Moss Green Crush! Or, feature soft runners that allow the wood to shine while keeping a romantic vibe. For example, our Natural Sahara or Rust Runner are both great choices.

Cozy Lounge Areas

Enhance the guest experience with cozy lounge areas. As the evening breeze sets in, these areas provide a space where guests can relax and mingle, from plush sofas adorned with seasonal throw pillows to vintage-inspired armchairs. Southern Events’ lounge rentals are both comfortable and pleasing to the eye. Grab our Jacqueline or Fern Velvet Sofa, or feature our classic Bennett Leather Sofa, paired with a set of accent chairs.

Elegant Accents

Lastly, spruce up the space with a mix of vintage rugs and accent tables, such as the Gold Hammered or Distressed Wood collections. If you’re wondering how to keep guests comfortable at an outdoor wedding in October, lounge seating layered with rugs and blankets is always a guest favorite.

Victoria and Ben’s rustic chic wedding at 14Tenn in Nashville, Tennessee was a breath of fresh air. They carefully selected their decor and which colors to feature for a beautiful mix of bright whites and muted warm-toned neutrals. Get inspired for your own event with this luxe reception decor, including neutral themed tablescapes.

While some couples want a table to make them stand out, Victoria and Ben opted for a more understated look. We paired our Fruitwood Farm Table with classic folding chairs. Meanwhile, our Davis Glass Cylinders were used to cast a warm glow around the two. 14Tenn’s elegant event space made for a simple but beautiful backdrop.

The first place setting we created was designed for long wooden tables. The use of our bright Darcy China as a base ensured that they stood out against the dark colors. While our Blair Geometric China and Hammered Flatware were a luxe metallic touch. We opted to feature our Carly Glassware, which is sleek with a thick base.

To complement the warm tones of their overall design, they opted to use our Fruitwood Folding Chairs. They pair beautifully with any wood table. To draw from the rustic elements, galvanized chairs were added to the mix.

For the round tables, we created a separate but complementary place setting. Featuring the same Darcy China and Hammered Flatware, but with a different gold accent plate. In this case, our chic Kate Polka Dot China. It was all placed on our stunning Grey Nova linens.

It was a joy to work with Victoria and Ben to create the wedding reception of their dreams! We wish them a long and happy lifetime together.

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!
