This outdoor wedding at The Farm on Eastland featured a relaxed, casual reception style. We loved this couple’s style and their clever use of our more eclectic props to design and organize their wedding. Cafe poly tablecloths paired with wedgewood blue poly napkins created a soft summer color palate. A mix of our decorative lanterns lined the tablescape, decorated the ceremony altar, and even served as a sweet card holder at the greeting table. Our Moby Chalkboard door pointed guests toward the reception, while our Sawyer chalkboard displayed the menu and our Lecture Chalkboard marked the dessert display. They even staged a fun play area for their younger guests using our Kid’s Farm Table and Crossback Chairs, and our Artie Easel for the kiddos to draw with. Our vintage Galvanized Trough held refreshments for guests. All the details came together for a fun, relaxing celebration for Amanda and Brian! Thanks to The Collection for sharing these images with us!

Color, whimsy and fun collided beautifully in this style shoot at CJ’s Off the Square, featuring a fun kite theme! A talented local Nashville photography company, The Collection, captured the look and feel of this theme in CJ’s gorgeous garden wedding venue, located in Historic Downtown Franklin.

Some of our favorite rentals featured in this shoot were our White Chiavari Chairs that have a color and texture that works flawlessly with an outdoor garden venue like CJ’s. We also featured our Mini White Wash Farm Table and White Poly Stripe Linens.

For this shoot, an entertaining mix of rich golden yellows, royal purple and teal were used to capture the vibrancy of the whimsical theme. Our favorite part of the event decor was the hanging kite decoration, featuring swirling ribbon and even a few miniature kites handcrafted by planner Anna of Anna Elizabeth Weddings. For the tablescape, our Royal White Square China set off the symmetry of the kite lines ribbon found throughout the event set up! For added texture, we loved the striped paper straws and ribbon wrapped around each cake tier.

Thank you SO much to these wonderful vendors for their participation in this style shoot!

Anna Elizabeth Weddings

CJ’s Off the Square is located just walking distance away from historic downtown Franklin, one of Tennessee’s oldest and most historically rich and beautiful areas. Our time with CJ’s started when we had our original showroom located upstairs in the historic home- and what a fun and bustling place to work it was! Even though Southern Events has moved into a new location, our relationship with CJ’s has continued as we provide the venue with all of their chair, linen, place setting and and decor rental needs. We love working with CJ’s and always feel that our rentals work naturally with the available space in this historic home and gardens.

CJ, Amy and the rest of the staff make excellent use of the interior home, exterior gardens and pavilion that have been restored to preserve all the historic beauty created when the home was originally built in 1911. Featuring a koi pond, the gardens boast a wide array of flowers and greenery along with a gazebo as a ceremony space, while the covered pavilion comfortably seats up to 135 guests. For all pre-wedding activities, a quick trip down the stairs to the wine cellar reveals a fully functional retreat for the groom and groomsmen with large screen TVs, poker table and bar area, while the bridal suite located upstairs is breathtaking, chic and luxurious. This venue has a wide array of packages to fit many different needs from weddings and beyond, and frequently hosts social parties and rehearsal dinners. From event planning to invitations to day of assisting, CJ’s staff is not only full-service, but has many years of experience in the industry. You can be assured an event at CJ’s of the Square puts you in fully capable hands to flawlessly execute all details of your big day!
