A lush garden. Elegant wooden furniture. A chic neutral palette. Sounds like the making of a dreamy wedding! Hosted at The Cordelle, Claire and Austin’s modern rustic wedding was simple yet oh-so chic. From the timeless decorations to the modern color scheme, it was a gorgeous celebration. One sure to inspired many brides! Take a look at the details from their day, including how they incorporated our stylish rustic event rentals.

A Garden Ceremony

Firstly, the pair’s vow exchange took place in the lush garden, surrounded by manicured hedges and towering trees. It was a warm but overcast day, ideal for the outdoor celebration. Guests sat facing a breathtaking, white floral backdrop. Seating was simple; clean rows of our ever-popular Cross-Back Chairs including cushions to ensure guests sat comfortably. Our Harlin Dining Chairs are an equally gorgeous alternative we’d recommend paired with candles in Davis Glass Cylinders for aisle decor.

Simple Cocktail Hour

Guests enjoyed cocktail hour hosted on the patio as the garden flipped from the ceremony to the reception setup. The bar staff prepared bubbly in classic champagne glasses. For an especially impressive display, consider displaying champagne or a cocktail of choice using our Fruitwood Champagne Shelf. Our bistro tables with luxe linens paired with our stylish bar stools are a great way to hold over guests until they can be led to their dinner tables.

Elegant Wood Banquet Tables

Our favorite design, by far, was the reception tables! Claire and Austin desired an intimate vibe for their dinner, opting for banquet tables. Set up side by side, our Fruitwood Farm Tables looked stunning and sat dozens comfortably, and to complement the modern rustic wedding colors, place settings were simple. Consisting of white round dinner plates, Abby Flatware, and Carly Water Goblets. If you prefer a subtle pop of color, take a look at our luxe napkins! Lush garlands made of bright greenery were the perfect modern rustic centerpieces. As the sun went down, the overhead bistro lights came on, casting a warm glow on the party below. It was a beautiful gathering and our team felt honored to be a part of it.

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.

Looking for a fun way to dress up your farm tables? Erin Lee caught some wonderful shots of our rustic farm tables dressed up with our white wood folding chairs, silver poly linens and mercury glass. The bright pop of color given by the flowers and candles brightened up this simple silver and white tablescape.
