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. 

Rich hues of reds paired with classic Southern blues for this recent vineyard wedding inspired style shoot at Arrington Vineyards. Elegant and romantic in color and style, we were honored to be part of this!

For the vineyard wedding inspired ceremony, we used our Fruitwood Folding Chairs, which complimented the red roses and red anemones that were found throughout the design. We love how this look blends in seamlessly with the expansive winery backdrop while feeling both intimate and warm.

For the reception inspiration, we brought in our rustic Fruitwood Farm Table, modern Brushed Copper Flatware, and timeless White Square China. Floral designs bursting with red blooms topped off the gorgeous tablescape. And to round out the sophisticated vibe of this style shoot, our Cybil Glassware joined the party for a toast! Cheers!

Thank you, Ivory Door Studio, for the lovely images.

Outdoor wedding ceremonies in Nashville, TN come in all shapes and sizes. Couples may opt for an open-air feel for a variety of reasons – one being the sheer beauty and novelty of exchanging vows with Mother Earth as a front-row guest. Many brides and grooms have envisioned an outdoor wedding ceremony for as long as they can remember. We adore being part of wedding celebrations outdoors, and get giddy with excitement when we see it all come together!

An outdoor wedding ceremony does not always mean the wedding is taking place on some form of a lawn. You could use a rooftop or a venue that offers concrete area. If a couple is looking to take it to the next level, Dura-Trac Flooring is the perfect option in terms of creating flooring outdoors. Otherwise, with nature as the backdrop, the sky is certainly the limit in terms of what kind of look one can achieve for an open-air wedding ceremony. Boho, elegant, rustic, intimate, grand – we’ve seen it all. In order to achieve the look you desire, all that is needed is creativity, a plan, and the perfect outdoor wedding ceremony rentals.

Boho Outdoor Weddings

For a boho-themed outdoor wedding ceremony, we love using rentals such as our Rustic Bench for seating. For texture, Cowhide Rugs draped over benches and over the ground are used. This adds warmth, color, and fun!

Traditional Outdoor Weddings

For a more traditional outdoor wedding ceremony, Folding Chairs in black, natural wood, or white create a streamlined, classic look. The combination of natural wood, green grass, and a blue sky come together for a memorable and gorgeous day!

Modern  Outdoor Weddings

If a couple is desiring a modern vibe at their wedding ceremony, Acrylic Chairs look absolutely gorgeous – they are the perfect modern approach to seating at an outdoor wedding. Pairing an outdoor setting with modern materials creates an upscale, yet approachable feel.

Southern Events had the best time helping the Nashville Cavaliers celebrate puppy love at their Valentine’s Day Party… aka the CALentine’s PAWty! We were pleased as punch to work with the wonderful Fete Nashville and Enchanted Florist, providing some of our sweetest rentals for the adorable affair.

White wash Farm Bistro Tables were on display and used to show delectable desserts for both canines and their humans. Our Hob Knob Glassware was a delightfully whimsical touch for the puppies’ people to sip and mingle, while darling dogs were treated to the yummiest treats! Our Children’s Farm Tables and Children’s Cross Back Chairs paired perfectly together and were just the right height for the sweet pups to enjoy a delicious snack. The fruitwood from the tables and natural wood from the chairs were a perfect accent and looked even more stunning with florals from Enchanted Florist. And because everyone loves a lounge area, the Cavaliers were treated to one as well with our Black & White Stripe Cabana Bench and the always gorgeous White Trellis Side Table.

So many cute pups, such little time! Thanks so much to Mandy Whitley Photography for these lovely photos.

Our Harlin Chairs are the answer for a more formal but still rustic Cross-Back Chair. The architecturally stunning design in natural wood adds elegance to any event, looking striking no matter the season.

Gold Rimmed Glass Chargers

A little gold goes a long way, and our new Gold Rimmed Glass Chargers (also shown above) add a metallic warmth to a modern glass charger plate. Tablescapes featuring just a hint of gold will dazzle guests and are perfect for hosts who truly want just a hint of this very on-trend accent.

Winstead Gray Tufted Bench

The Winstead Gray Tufted Bench is extra large, making it ideal for any lounge area. Tufted at the top with hammered details around the bottom, this bench is a clean and chic new way to welcome guests to your event. Whether used as seating or as a coffee table, the neutral gray color and tufted fabric play incredibly well into any design you choose.

Chiffon Runners

Elegant Chiffon Runners add a new element of texture to your upcoming tablescapes. The sheer, smooth fabric adds a romantic touch and looks especially stunning when paired with a farm table or the Fruitwood Bar. We have also had clients used this as part of wedding ceremony backdrops, intertwined with flowers and greenery garlands. Available in blush, dove gray or ivory, the muted colors coordinate nicely with any color palettes.

Cecilia Floral Matte Satin

Feeling bold? The Cecilia Floral Matte Satin fabric adds a bold romantic pattern in muted colors, creating effortless elegance for your cocktail hour or main event. We especially love the way it so easily pairs with our other satin linens in coordinating colors for a truly seamless design. We love this at any occasion, whether a romantic garden wedding or a grand gala!

Cheval Gold Mirrored Table in Large and Small

A side table that glistens adds depth to an event’s style. The Cheval Gold Mirrored Table comes in two sizes (large and small) has striking lines in a metallic finish, ideal for a modern design. Gold adds a bit of romance, making it perfect to accompany a blush or all white color palette. We can’t wait to see how you’ll design it!

Echo Silver Mirrored Table in Large and Small

Our Echo Silver Mirrored Table in large and small is just as stunning as the Cheval, only in silver metallic. The chrome finish lends itself well to any modern seating areas and is welcomed by guests as a place to rest their drinks while mingling with others.

Floral Printed Dance Floor

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. Peonies in a barely-there pink are featured, allows the elegance to carry over from dinner to dancing. We loved it at the Heritage Ball 2017 as an entry into the main space – the striking and romantic design had guests swooning!

Mixing the raw, natural surrounding with the luxe details, our style shoot at Graystone Quarry imagines an evolved bohemian wedding.  One that maintains the colors and textures popular with couples after this style while adding a moody edge. We love the gold and onyx combined with the hyper-colored fuschia & magenta blooms (courtesy of Enchanted Florist) as well as careful details like potted cacti, crystals and faux fur.  Perfect for an upscale wedding or gala!

Amilia Photography captured it all beautifully!

Is there a more perfect space to hold a vintage styled shoot than the nearly 200-year-old Homestead Manor in Franklin, Tennessee? The historic estate-turned-beautiful venue set the scene for a southern gothic styled shoot with SheHeWe Photography. A mix of our classic favorites and newer rentals completed the look. We paired our Grayson Farm Tables with our vintage Constance Chairs for an upscale antique tablescape. For the place settings, we mixed our Artisan China and Hamlet & Ophelia Gold-Rimmed China Collections. Our Austin Gold flatware added a modern touch to keep the look from feeling dated. Our Grey Goose Linen Runner and Iridescent Ivory Luxe Designer napkins added luxe texture. Our model couple relaxed on our Santorini Love Seat paired with our vintage Francis Coffee Table for an upscale outdoor lounge. Our Emilie Secretary Desk created a sweet sign-in table at the ceremony, where we used our Crossback Chairs for seating.

Get ready for dramatic color contrasts and rich textures! While we love the soft, organic styles inspired by nature that have dominated the wedding and events industry in recent years, let’s just say we are in the mood for a bold, sophisticated event style. This look is fashion forward, mixed black and white, bright pops of color, and strong metallics. Our Ghost Arm Chairs and Grayson Farm Tables paired with more luxe details like our Gold Medallion Chargers and Gold Velour Benches make it ultra glam. Dark but chic, edgy yet still elegant, this trend would be perfect for your winter wedding or corporate gala!
