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!

We love an ethereal design that pulls light colors and soft fabric from the days of disco without jumping into a time capsule. A Dreamy Disco design takes 1970s flair and gives it a contemporary feel- pastel greens and peaches are soft and sweet while bold gold accents liven up the party. Silky smooth velvet invokes a classic 70s vibe while a more modern design keeps the party in the present day. We love a Dreamy Disco for weddings, tea parties, ladies’ luncheons or corporate events looking to channel 70s Dolly Parton.

Lounges are now as essential to events as tables & chairs. The trend towards a sleek and sophisticated space at corporate events, social galas, or glam weddings is making Modern Lounges popular in event design. Chrome accents and clean lines accompanied with bright white seating give any lounge area a modern ambiance while still maintaining a professional look. We love how lounges create intimate spaces at events for guests to relax, for couples to snuggle and for attendees to socialized.

After a traditional church wedding, Katie & Rich celebrated as newlyweds with family & friends at Marathon Music Works in Nashville.  The venues is a blank canvas when it comes to event design and with the right lighting, it is easy to transform the space.  Katie & Rich kept things timeless while adding a few romance touches including vintage chairs for themselves a the head table and Willow cake stand. Our Gold Hamlet China at each seat brought the sparkle and understated flowers created an elegant look.

Thanks to Pictures by Katie for the great images and congrats to the happy couple!

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.
