Spring into Love with Timeless Wedding Tent Ideas

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

timeless wedding tent ideas nashville

There’s a timeless allure to hosting your wedding day under the open skies! The beauty of the outdoors lends a timeless ambiance to any event. However, a traditional white wedding tent leaves many couples wondering how to elevate the space and infuse it with their own unique style. Breathe life into your spring soiree with these wedding tent ideas, transforming it into an unforgettable setting, with our extensive inventory of stylish event rentals.

Feature Furniture that Wows

The furniture you choose can go a long way in creating a sense of style and sophistication. At Southern Event Rentals, we offer a wide selection of stunning pieces that are sure to impress your guests. From beautiful wood banquet tables, including White Antique and Aged Oak options, to bold Raven Black Farm Tables, we have options to suit every taste. Pair these tables with classic Chiavari Chairs in gold for a subtle metallic shine, or opt for warm Cross-Back or Harlin Dining Chairs to complement wood tables. For those planning an all-white wedding, our White Chiavari Chairs or Antique White Bentwood Chairs are perfect choices. Alternatively, embrace the latest fad with Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs or the ethereal Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair with its intricate back design.

Add Dimension with Color & Texture

Injecting color and texture into your white wedding tent can truly elevate the space and create visual interest. Consider incorporating vibrant linens, in brilliant spring-inspired shades such as Coral Velvet, Heritage Light Blue, or Wisteria Satin. To create a sense of whimsy, check out our patterned event linens, including floral prints! Alternatively, infuse a sense of vintage charm with our colored glassware. For example, the beautiful Amalia Sage or Deco Peony Pink Tumbler. For a touch of luxury, opt for linens or chargers that will add texture and depth to your tabletop décor. Such as our dreamy Sahara Table Runners, in a rich Sage or Rose, or Rattan White Wash Chargers.

Increase Social Space with Lounge Areas

Make the most of the beautiful outdoor setting by creating carefully designed social areas outside the tent. Set up a cocktail area complete with bistro tables and chairs where guests can mingle and enjoy the scenery. Our Palmer Bistro Table and Barstools are a sophisticated choice. Or, double your seating with the Loren Gold Bistro Table paired with Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Alternatively, create cozy lounge areas with comfortable seating where guests can relax and unwind. Choose from our curated Lounge Looks or create your own. Our Charlotte Sofa and Armchairs are an elegant choice. As is the bold Sloan Sofa, especially when paired with a vintage rug and accent tables. But why not incorporate both options to cater to different preferences and create a dynamic and inviting atmosphere?

Level Up Entertainment with Staging

If you’re planning to have live entertainment, such as a band or DJ, staging is an excellent way to ensure they take center stage. At Southern Event Rentals, we can place staging beneath your tent, which you can then customize with greenery or floral decor to suit your theme. To create a breezy spring backdrop use White Sheer Pipe & Drape. Just don’t forget to include a dance floor where guests can let loose and celebrate into the night! Both our Black and White or Plank Wood Dance Floor are a timeless choice.

Real Black & White Winter Weddings to Inspire Your Big Day

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

acrylic wedding ceremony seating

When it comes to winter weddings, there’s a certain magic in the air! Embracing the simplicity and sophistication of the season, consider a black and white color scheme. Whether you’re planning a formal gathering or a more relaxed event. The juxtaposition of these classic hues will lend a timeless look to your day! At Southern Events, we believe that creating a cohesive and beautiful atmosphere is key. That’s why we’re excited to share our favorite ideas for a modern black and white winter wedding, featuring our exquisite event rentals.

Simple Winter Wedding Ceremony Decor

Picture this: saying “I do” surrounded by simple yet stunning decor. We’re talking elegant seating with glowing candles or white floral arrangements placed atop Antique White Columns at the altar. At Southern Events, we have a beautiful inventory of chairs that will make your ceremony pop without stealing the show. Such as our Antique White Bentwood Chairs, bold Black Resin Folding Chairs, or modern Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. For a little extra coziness, line the aisle with mismatched black and white rugs. Keep it simple, keep it classy – that’s the secret sauce!

Black & White Wedding Tables

Now, let’s create a modern black and white wedding reception – where the magic really happens. Depending on whether you prefer a bright or moody look, start with crisp white or black tablecloths. They’re like a blank canvas ready for you to get creative with place settings (whereas the Black Nova Linens are perfect for fans of maximalism). Thankfully, Southern Events has a treasure trove of tableware and linens that’ll let you mix and match to create a vibe that’s all you. To contrast a white tablecloth, stack Glass Chargers with Black Rim, Onyx Earthen China or Carrera Marble Dinner Plates, and Noir Matte Black Flatware. Whereas on top of black, you might feature our Black Round Lacquer Chargers, White Coupe China, and Bradley Flatware.

Moody Cocktail Hour Ideas

Time to transition to the celebration! Picture a moody cocktail hour – dim lights, sleek black and white lounge furniture, and high cocktail tables with chic black linens. For a memorable entrance, greet guests with a custom Harpeth Bar or snazzy Collins Black Wood Bar. Large crowds may require our Thompson Full Oval White Bar. However, any of these will look stunning paired with a Black Barback Shelves. And don’t forget signature black and white cocktails in dazzling glassware. Such as our popular Gatsby Coupe Glasses or contemporary Cybil Goblets. Finally, create some cozy spaces to mingle, whether you prefer lofty bistro tables or lounges. Our Black Mid-Century and Acrylic Square Back Barstools are a dream. As is our Estelle Quarter Round Sofa and the Regent Black Velvet Sofa with accent tables. Add in some black and white throw pillows or blankets to keep it cozy yet oh-so-cool.

In Stock: Wedding Backdrop Rentals

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

wedding backdrop rentals

An essential piece of decor for a wedding ceremony is a backdrop! Often complimented with fresh florals and greenery, it will not only help frame the bride and groom but serve as a beautiful backdrop for photographs. Take a look at our wedding backdrop rentals, with options for every type of event style and theme! From more traditional pieces to modern options.

Fiona Ivory Mantle

A unique option for wedding ceremony decor, our Fiona Ivory Mantle is a romantic piece. With its vintage design and soft white color, it will complement most any theme. You can dress this piece up with florals, or by placing candles in our cylindrical glass vases at the base.

Chuppah/Wedding Canopy

At Southern, our goal is to be able to serve couples of every type and religion! Our wedding chuppah is a beautiful piece consisting of a classic square frame decorated with white drapery. It can easily be dressed up with greenery, or you might tie back the draping with smaller floral arrangements.

Wood Cross

For more traditional couples we had to include a Wood Cross in our inventory. This simple but elegant piece is made of a light-colored wood with a beautiful grain. Couples often choose to decorate this piece with a long piece of drapery or a floral garland.

Wrought Iron Arch

Another of our wedding arch rentals, this Wrought Iron Arch is a gorgeous choice for ceremonies indoors or out. Dress is up with greenery or drapery for a sophisticated look. As with our Metal Ceremony Ring, this piece is perfect for a modern garden wedding.

Rugs

Looking for a more modern ceremony backdrop? Consider one or several of our rugs! This is a great option if you want to show off an existing backdrop at your venue, whether it be indoors or out. A rug is a simple way to frame a space and add a little bit of color. We have a variety of options for different themes, including vintage and cowhide rugs.

Southern Style | Modern Garden Wedding

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

garden wedding backdrop

Garden weddings are popular themes, especially during the warmer months of the year. As we sit and dream with couples, we hear their love for the romantic feel this theme offers. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of seeing garden weddings come together in a myriad of ways, and we have fallen head over heels for the whimsical palettes and charming event design. Keep reading to get inspired by our take on the modern garden wedding, featuring sleek and sophisticated rentals that make for an incredibly chic celebration!

Sleek and Chic Tables

This modern take on garden weddings can be achieved by bringing in bright rentals featuring geometric shapes that contrast dramatically with the freeform nature of, well, nature. Outfit your tables in colorful linens that will POP against a lush garden setting. For balance, feature our Harlin Dining Chairs or Cross-Back Chairs, made of natural wood. If you prefer an equally romantic but vintage-inspired look, consider our Antique White Bentwood Chairs.

Dreamy Velvet Details

Masculine elements, such as monochromatic color schemes contrast beautifully against soft florals and greenery. All white or all black furniture against a dreamy, floral aesthetic is both masculine and modern! Although, we’re still a fan of lighter palettes that complement whimsical florals. You can achieve a luxe but chic look by featuring textured details, namely in the form of velvet linens! Some of our current favorite colors include bold blue hues and romantic pinks and purples!

Elegant Social Areas

When hosting an event outdoors you tend to have more area to fill – in which case there is no reason not to have a cocktail lounge! Something simple yet elegant and cozy where guests can enjoy a drink and socialize. Take a look at our curated lounge packages, or mix and match our pieces to make your own. Our Bennett Leather Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs are a fine pair, especially when complemented by a set of Chocolate Poufs and stylish accent tables. Meanwhile a rug will help frame the space!

Southern Style | Sunset Inspired Event Colors & Design

Trends and Inspiration

Supporting image

Warm tones have been trending in events and weddings over the last few years, and we are in love with this palette! Take a cue from nature with these sunset-inspired event colors and event rentals that wrap your Nashville event in warm nostalgia.

 

Golden Glow

Go for the gold… in event rentals other than your flatware or furniture. Try layering linens in warm neutrals with your event rentals – like the subtle yellow of our Wheat Satin Linens – or add some flair with our Midas Gold Bench.

Golden Glow | Ivory Luxe, Gold French Pleat, Driftwood Velvet

Copper Cues

Copper has been popping up in event design from elegant to bohemian events – and everywhere in between. But this color chameleon isn’t just a metallic. “Copper” hues offer a range of shades in Southern rentals – like our Rouge Charger or Russet Satin Linens.

Copper Cues | Copper Poly, Spice Velvet, Coral Poly

 

Ruby Hues

Not just for fall, use shades of scarlet to wow at your events year-round. From brick red accented with gold to a pop of burgundy, these rich sunset-inspired event colors are sure to have depth to your Southern event.

Ruby Hues | Merlot Velvet, Gold Aurora, Burgundy Dupioni

 

Mauve Modes

This isn’t your Granny’s curtains anymore. Not quite a rose pink or a chocolate brown, mauve is the perfect color to bridge between feminine & masculine in your event color palette. Layer textures like blush velvet linens with our warm wood Harlin Chairs or a dusty rose pillow on the leather Bennett Sofa.

Real Nashville Wedding: Hailey & Daniel at Sycamore Farms

Real Nashville Weddings

Supporting image

We recently had the honor of being part of Hailey and Daniel’s Nashville wedding day at Sycamore Farms. Classy, elegant, and full of warmth – this day was bursting with elements that we are thrilled to share with you. From the lush views of the venue, down to the live band… it was utterly fabulous.

Let’s begin with the gowns. The bride wore a sophisticated white bridal gown with intricate details and a plunging neckline. Her bridesmaids looked elegant and beautiful with black bridesmaids dresses. We always adore a good black and white wedding style.

The couple’s vision for an elegant and classy day was brought to life by whites, golds, and accenting greenery. Hailey and Daniel exchanged vows outdoors under Sycamore Farms’ rustic pergola with 360-degree views, draped with white linens and trailing greenery. Guests watched the nuptials take place, seated in white chairs. Everyone dined and celebrated indoors, with tables dressed in elegant White Satin Linens, White Round China, and chic gold Austin Flatware.

The classiness of this perfect wedding day was leveled up by a live band. We brought in our White Harpeth Staging that fit the “elegant” bill perfectly. Clients adore this staging because of its versatility. We love using this white staging for live bands…it would also be a fabulous piece for a grand head table.

Lovely photography provided by Cannon Weddings. Thank you, Hailey and Daniel, for the honor of being part of your incredible wedding!

If you’re drooling like us over this elegant day, send us a message at info@southernevents.com! We’d love to chat about your upcoming wedding.

Style Inspiration: Pastel Event Rentals

Trends and Inspiration

Supporting image

Pastels are a growing trend in event design this year. If you watched the Oscars, you know it (we are still swooning over Maya Rudolph’s glorious pink gown – among other amazing looks). Pastels were everywhere. Bonus: This trend incorporates itself beautifully in weddings and events. You can make this color scheme work with whichever various themes you’re going for. Classic? Of course. How about “garden charm”, or Southern, or “rustic glam”… yep, you can do that, too! Whimsical, romantic, and even glamorous, pastels will lend an enchanted feel to pretty much any event or wedding.

Often, when people think of pastel color schemes, they think “sweet, traditional, and girly.” That’s definitely not the case anymore! This pastel color scheme can most definitely be luxe and modern. Imagine monochromatic shades of pastel blue – that look is both sleek, modern, and incredibly fresh.

When creating a fresh look with these colors, you can bring in pastel linens, dishes, furniture, or florals. You could also weave pastel colors through your invitations, food (think French macaroons), or wedding party gowns and accessories. If you’re wanting to create a look with pastels, Southern Events Party Rental Company has everything you need – from linens to dishes to coffee tables!

Love pastels and want help incorporating this fresh palette into your next event? Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com.

Style Inspiration: Southern Farmhouse

Trends and Inspiration

Supporting image

Farmhouse-inspired weddings and events are very of-the-moment, and for good reason! This trend is classic, fresh, and uber-relaxed. Perfect for a gathering of friends and family that is down to earth (literally) while being effortlessly stylish.

We partnered with the Gifford Collective at Meadow Hill Farms, where we used some of our favorite neutral rentals to bring this Southern Farmhouse look to life. The tablescape features our Sophia Flatware, Artisan Dinner Plates and Artisan Dessert Plates, Madison Glasses, and Havana Ecru Napkins.  Fresh bread wrapped in butcher paper serves as place cards (love!), while cream, greenery & silver accents atop a Farm Table, paired with our Cross-Back Chairs, created an elegant and approachable Southern Farmhouse table.  The ivory and handpainted wedding cake sits on our Fruitwood Round Cake Plateau as a tempting finish to the delicious meal one can imagine enjoying here.

The Southern Farmhouse style has been growing in popularity and is still going strong as a trend for 2019! We are excited to help create this beautiful scene for couples this upcoming year. Thank you Cassidy Carson Photography, for the beautiful images.

A waterfall. 138 acres of a reclaimed rock quarry. Forest and meadow. Streams and ponds. Limestone cliff walls. We aren’t talking about some magical land in a Disney movie. We are talking about a real-life wedding venue in Nashville–Graystone Quarry.

Photography by Amilia Photography

Graystone Quarry, located in Nashville, TN, is a sought-after venue for weddings and events. Full of natural beauty and resonating with history and culture, this Nashville venue has limitless options for a sure-to-be-talked-about wedding or event. As the exclusive rental company for Graystone Quarry, Southern Events Party Rental Company has had the honor of working with their team to create a multitude of event design and looks for weddings and events at this venue. From moody & elegant to timeless & classic, the property’s stone backdrops and upscale buildings work with any event style.

Wedding Ceremony Space

Graystone Quarry’s signature glass doors inside of the Hillside Pavilion have been the quiet and reverent observers of vows exchanged. Couples can choose between opening all three glass doors or leaving them closed. Guests are treated to gorgeous views from every angle. The benches found here stay with the venue.

Wedding Reception Space

After the wedding ceremony, guests are taken to the wedding reception area–the Gathering Hall, where they find a fireplace, a double staircase, and glass doors opening to a courtyard (complete with a pond and a 20-foot waterfall). The Gathering Hall boasts plenty of seating, a sweetheart table directly near the fireplace, and dramatic backdrops at every turn.

With all their events, one thing remains the same, and that is that each event is equally memorable, meaningful, and magical. To top it off, you will be sure to find Southern hospitality at each and every turn. If you’re seeking a wedding or event venue that is equally unique and breathtaking, charming and memorable, historic and gracious–Graystone Quarry fits the bill.

Style Inspiration 3 Ways: Modern Southern Tablescapes

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

blue holiday table

Here at Southern Events, we love a modern tablescape! While modern can sometimes mean stark or cold, your table design can have a modern feel and still be elegant and timeless.  With earthy elements, luxe fabrics, clean lines, and ghost chairs, we created three modern Southern tablescapes to inspire you.

#1 Modern Luxe Tablescape

Moody and glam, our modern luxe style features our Black Dupioni Linen, Carrera Marble Dinner Plates, Cybil Glassware, Sofia Flatware and Glass Chargers with Gold Rim. Taper candles in a sleek iron candle holder with carefully placed succulents as well as our Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs, give this tablescape it’s modern lines while remaining understated. This table design would be perfect for a black tie gala, fundraiser or chic rehearsal dinner.

 

#2 Modern Seaside Southern Tablescape

Navy linens, relaxed china & glassware combine with an airy centerpiece and copper flatware to create a tablescape perfect for dining al fresco! For this modern seaside-inspired Southern tablescape, we used our Navy Blue Velvet Linens, Earthen China, Davis Glassware and Brushed Copper Flatware. Our Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs once again keep this relaxed tablescape modern. Plus, we love using navy as a neutral, especially when it’s velvet.

 

 

 

#3 Modern Tuscan Southern Tablescape

Give your event a modern Tuscan feel! With patterned dinnerware, aqua linens and an oversized, this modern southern tablescape just needs wine! Featuring our Coronado China, Earthen China, Sofia Flatware, Davis Glassware, Ocean Blue Velvet Linens, Dove Gray Chiffon Runner, and Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs. The bold linen and coordinating china are reminiscent of Italy art and flair, while the simple centerpiece and glassware keep this modern look the perfect fit for outdoor garden events, dinner parties and springtime wedding & baby showers.
