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.

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.

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.

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.

We adore dressing fabulous Nashville area venues in Southern Events rentals, and Long Hollow Gardens is one of our absolute favorites. Long Hollow Gardens is a super unique event venue. It is actually a greenhouse! Couples can achieve that “outdoor wedding” feel with all of the comfort of remaining indoors (think gorgeous summer wedding without all the heat!). Oh, and don’t forget about the exquisite natural light pouring into the venue. On this 35 acre property, you’ll find a vineyard, their Farmhouse Bridal Cottage, and Hearthroom Barn. With enough space for 200 guests, it’s a great venue for weddings and events of all sizes.

Our neutral, natural rentals really shine at Long Hollow Gardens. The Cross-Back Chairs look tailor-made for this venue and are incredibly inviting paired with ivory linens. When outfitting the Greenhouse, we typically stick to neutral color palettes in order to let nature shine. From the Bennett Leather Sofa to the Fruitwood Farm Table, many of our rentals look as if they belong at this one-of-a-kind venue. We are in love with how this location serves as a backdrop for pretty much any dreamy look a couple could conjure up.

Be sure to visit their website to learn more about hosting your Southern event at this greenhouse venue. Photos by Julie Paisley.

If you are hosting an event in one of Nashville’s finest venues, we’d love to take the rentals off your plate. Send our team a message at info@southerneventsonline.com.

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.

Our Nashville event rentals were on display at our most recent styled shoot at Nashville’s White Dove Barn, where we dreamed up a boho fall wedding design with some amazing vendor friends!

The scene was set perfectly for our Fall-inspired boho wedding style shoot with Harlin Dining Chairs bringing natural wood to a beautiful white canvas.

The elegant boho fall wedding tablescape started with charcoal gray linens, where Pure Glassware added striking cleaning lines next to the whimsical centerpiece by the amazing Kennedy Occasions and Feather and Oak Tennessee. Peachy-taupe taper candles from Creative Candles added a bit of romance, while our Carerra Marble Dinner Plates and gold Austin Flatware pulled the gold and gray accents together for a perfect design.

We were delighted to work with the team at Double Creek Farms in beautiful Culleoka, TN to create this gorgeous, gothic rustic wedding inspiration. Mood elegance with chic rustic details is a favorite wedding trend and the warm wood walls and soaring arched ceilings of this gorgeous wedding venue south of Nashville provided the perfect backdrop.

Lush greenery wove through gold and marble accents, including our Carrera Marble Dinner Plates. Each color set off perfectly against white washed farm tables and soft blush linens. This moody, dramatic design with a rustic twist is perfect for upcoming fall weddings or winter celebrations and parties.

For our table settings, we paired our popular Austin Flatware and the gorgeous Carrera Marble Dinner Plates with our glass Belmont Charger and Pure Glassware. The result was a mix of modern wedding design with stunning vintage elegance! Subtle color from our Wedgewood Poly and Blush Shimmer linens completed the event design white gold geometric accents like our Gold Metal Sphere added sparkle to the tablescape.

The Southern Events team had a fabulous time at CJ’s off the Square in Franklin, TN, where we collaborated on their winter tasting and wedding style showcase! We worked with the team at CJ’s and Arranged Nashville to design a variety wedding style inspiration tablescapes for engaged couples getting married at this intimate garden venue. We brought along some of our most-loved wedding rentals for a truly beautiful affair!

In the garden, we paired rustic Fruitwood Farm Bistro Tables with Cross-Back Bar Stools for a cocktail style set-up. By the koi pond, our luxe Cameo Blush Velvet Linen and Cecilia Floral Matte Satin Linen gave a sumptuous variety of texture within a rosy color palette.

Boho Chic Wedding Design

In the wedding pavilion, brides and grooms-to-be were treated to a bouquet of wedding ideas and inspiration. For our Boho Chic tablescape, we featured Fruitwood Round Farm Tables and Cross-back Chairs, the natural wood set off by our Chiffon Table Runners. We paired Rogue Round Laquer Chargers with our Earthen China in Stone and Pure Glassware to achieve a relaxed and boho-inspired tablescape.

An inspirational dance floor really elevates the entire look of an event – when the design is coordinated from top to literally bottom, it stands out in a marvelous way! The new Floral Printed Dance Floor features oversize prints in various corners of the dance floor.

Last year’s NotWedding in Nashville a hipster vintage vibe , while this year’s decor took a softer and more romantic turn.  The theme was ‘down to earth’ and the vendor team pulled off another stunner full of gorgeous details and loads of earthy elegance.  Hosted again at Cannery Ballroom, Black Chiavari Chairs were used for the ceremony – with a stunning floral focal point, the space had a cool, industrial feel.  The reception used more natural elements with a variety of centerpieces as well as our Oatmeal Linens, White Wooden Folding Chairs and Artisan China.  Two of the three wedding cakes on display rested atop our Gold Windsor and Round Fruitwood Cake Plateaus.  Plenty to inspired earthy, boho brides and grooms!

All images below are from Maile Lani Photography except one – noted below.  There were three great photographers for this event – each focusing on different aspects of the day.  Ruffled Blog has more of these images in their feature from last month – enjoy!

Nothing quite says spring like a garden filled with soft pastels.  Our watercolor themed shoot worked beautifully in the gardens of CJ’s Off the Square.  Known for their full service wedding styling and all-inclusive event packages, this historic venue is a favorite of ours.  Events and weddings here often feature pieces from our Vintage Prop Shoppe – including our Cora couch and Marjorie vintage coffee table below – they just look so perfect together!
