We had the pleasure of teaming up with Twila’s Photography at the for this sweet style shoot! This design is full of demure details, inspired by the South’s summer blackberries and soft cotton. The table scape was created using our Heirloom China with our Belmont Chargers, Austin Gold Flatware, and Madison Glassware, atop our Fruitwood Farm Table, paired with our Provence Cathedral Chairs. The lovely floral centerpiece by Basil & Bergamot Flower Farm completed the lovely southern boho look. Don’t miss the feature on Two Bright Lights!

The Southern warehouse is stocked with a variety of new catering and service equipment including our Midtown Collection, new Serving Utensils, White China Bowls, Stainless Plate Covers, 120-plate Electric Warmer and new tiered stands and displays. Your food never looked so good!

The Franklin is an 8-foot, solid wood bar featuring an elegant molding on the top and front, and comes in three styles: a matte antique white finish, a high-gloss fruitwood finish, or a high-gloss black finish. The Franklin measures 8′ in length.

The Tin Lizzie is an 8-foot, industrial style bar made of corrugated tin on the front and sides, in a wood frame that features a honey finish.

We’re back with more gorgeous images from our boho-glam style shoot at Pine Halls, with two sweet tablescapes! (If you missed our first post featuring the luxe outdoor lounge and ceremony scenes, you can find it here.)

We used the reception scene to play with another hot trend: purple! We’re getting a lot of requests for it this season, and we can see why! Deep, romantic shades of plum, amethyst, eggplant, lavender, and lilac evoke elegance. Both looks feature our Fruitwood Farm Table, with our Bessie Blush and Ivory Lace Runners. Thanks again to our vendor partners Enchanted Florist, Bright Event Productions, Designs in Paper, Street Tuxedo, The Bride Room, Amy Lynn Larwig and Jen + Chris Creed Photography for making this style shoot truly spectacular! Be sure to see the feature on Ruffled for more great detail shots!

When Jen and Chris Creed Photographers approached us for a spring style shoot at Pine Halls, we knew the enchanted woodland setting was the perfect place to play with a gorgeous new trend: boho-glam. It’s rustic with touches of sparkle, woodsy yet luxe. We teamed up with the Creeds, Bright Event Productions, and Enchanted Florist to create a fairy-tale wedding in the woods and it turned out beautifully!

This look feels opulent and unique, yet it’s easily attainable for your events. Everything you see is available for rent through Southern, or through our partner vendors (like those stunning pendant lights from Bright!) With dozens of options in our inventory, we can make this look unique and versatile for your personal taste.

This luxe lounge scene, featuring our Prissy Loveseat and Armchairs and Pearly Side Chair, makes a romantic vignette for the Bride and Groom to enjoy a private moment together.

The ceremony scene is a mix of glam features: from the Gold Chiavari Chairs, to the Roundabout Wrought Iron Candelabras, and Sequined Accent Pillows; to boho touches: the textured florals to the Lace Chair Ties (in Ivory, Blush, and Taupe). We paired our White Washed Whiskey Barrel, Windsor Gold Cake Plateau, and Bessie Lace Table Runners in a stunning and versatile altar scene that can easily be repurposed for a cake display in a reception setting!

We’re absolutely smitten with our newest inventory addition: Sutton Furniture! This modern furniture set features a woven dark brown base, with cushions and pillows that come in two chic colors: Mediterranean Blue or Sand Style. Its unique design allows for complete customization for your event. Sutton is perfect for lounge seating and cocktail-style events, both indoors and out. It made a cameo in our summertime chic On-Trend post, so be sure to check that out for styling inspiration!

It’s been a long winter, y’all. There’s no better way to welcome the warm weather than with a chic spring or summer soiree! We’ve paired our new Sutton Furniture and Market Umbrellas with our Silver Drum-Shaped Side Tables and a few White Square Lanterns for a relaxed evening party! Our new Tin Lizzy Bar is the perfect space to mix drinks, especially set with our Midtown Beverage Tubs. Add our Aruba Triple Stitch Pintuck linens and some bright summery florals, and you’ve set the scene for guests to enjoy the summer breeze, complete with refreshing cocktails and canapes!

Julie & Mark’s sweet southern wedding was the perfect occasion to whip out some of our best-loved items! Our Cross-Back Chairs seated guests for both the ceremony and reception, with our Farm Tables for feasting in style. Our Wood Round Chargers look so distinguished when paired with our Pink and Grey Poly Table Linens. You can also see our Whiskey Barrels, Holden Stands, and Artie Easel Chalk Board on display from our Vintage Prop Shoppe! Our Vienna White Couch made for the perfect lounging spot, too.

Props to our fellow vendors Enchanted Florist and Bright Event Productions for helping make this wedding so southern-chic! Thanks to the talented Matt Andrews Photography and wedding planner, Summer Sheldon from Social Ambitions Events for pulling all the details together!
