Don’t underestimate the impact stylish seating can have on your event! An essential piece of furniture for your wedding ceremony and reception, the chairs you feature are an easy way to take your celebration to the next level. Today we’re sharing our in stock wedding chair rentals, with unique styles for every type of event! Including classic folding and wood chairs, plus on-theme options!

Wood Chairs

Let’s start with the most popular option, wood chairs for rent! These beautiful pieces tend to be desirable as they lend an elegant and timeless look to an event, thanks to the natural wood stains. They look especially beautiful in an outdoor setting, such as a backyard ceremony or tented reception. The go-to is are our Cross-Back Chairs with their sleek design. However, our Adeline and Harlin Dining Chairs are stunning statement pieces that offer a more high-end look. Just don’t forget to add a cushion for extra comfort!

Classic Event Chairs

Sometimes keeping it classic is best, especially for those who prefer are hosting a casual event or have a more understated style. We offer a variety of folding chairs for rent, with our Fruitwood Folding Chairs being the most popular color. They are also available in a classic white and black. Or, for a more glam event style, opt for our Chiavari Chairs with their details backs – available in black, fruitwood, gold, and white!

Contemporary Event Chairs

A more recent addition, and our current favorite, are our selection of acrylic event chairs. Made of polyacrylate, these clear chairs lend a fun contemporary vibe to an event. They’re a beautiful choice for both ceremonies and receptions, and we carry a variety of unique designs. For a more subtle look, opt for our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chair – also available with arms. If you like a bit more detail, feature our elegant Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs.

Vintage Event Chairs

In recent years there has been an uptick in an appreciation for vintage event chairs with their dainty details and classic designs. They are a gorgeous choice for rustic events, as well as modern events with a vintage twist. A prime example being our Antique White Bentwood Chairs! However, we also offer throne chairs for couples who want a more regal-inspired look. Both our Constance and Provence Cathedral Chairs are perfect for those who want to create a memorable sweetheart table.

Vintage-Inspired Servingware

With natural light pouring into the wedding venue from all angles, 14Tenn in Nashville, Tennessee is a sought-after event space for holding weddings and events of all shapes and sizes. As one of the venue’s exclusive vendors, we adore designing and dressing this space with our unique wedding and party rentals. The gorgeous, well-lit event venue becomes something new each and every time we get the opportunity to create events there. Crisp white walls, warm wood floors, and obscenely large windows create the perfect canvas.

For a recent style shoot with Styled Shoots Across America, we had the opportunity to create a luxe and inviting wedding look at this Middle Tennessee wedding venue. Our Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Chairs brought a welcome pop of color to the serene and modern space. We added our Navy Rug for warmth and comfort (guests always love an inviting space to sit and chat). When working with white walls and wood floors, we jump at the chance to bring in gold accents. The color combination always creates a swoon-worthy – almost ethereal – look that brides and grooms look for on their wedding day. We brought in our Gold Chiavari Chairs to evoke that magical, blissful feeling that all wedding days should have!

For the wedding reception portion of the design, we combined rustic elements with rich, warm colors. Our Fruitwood Farm Table and mismatched white vintage chairs were both inviting and rustic. To up the elegance a bit, we added Magnolia Green Velvet Linens, Hob Nob Glassware, and Gold Accent China.

We love when a new space opens its doors here in Franklin, TN, but when new spaces are as beautifully designed as The Lodge our hearts do a little dance! The Lodge in Franklin, TN is a co-working space beautifully designed with high ceilings, modern amenities, and rustic style. With private rooms and an industrial style event space, it’s a great location for companies to host gatherings, summits, retreats, or simply get-out-of-the-office meetings.

For company cocktail hours, summits, or retreats The Lodge‘s large event space boasts rustic finishes and large glass garage doors to let in lots of natural light. Adjacent to the co-working space (with smaller private meeting rooms, kitchen and shared co-working room) this space offers a blank canvas for a variety of set-ups including lounges with nearby bar and cocktail tables or styled dining table for guests to gather.

Meetings at The Lodge will benefit from large windows in various private rooms, making sure that attendees feel the refreshing energy of the sunlight while still having everything they need to get work done. We added a collection of our vintage chairs to the farmhouse table, plus our unique Sunny Rolling Cart to give this meeting space an inspiring pop of color. Built-in whiteboards and high-speed wifi are standard – just add your co-workers and your next big idea!

We’re big believers in planning corporate meetings off-site: nothing like a change of scenery to bring about fresh new ideas. Go a step further and let your actual meeting space be a functional yet inspiring spot for employees to brainstorm, collaborate and learn with our bold and colorful rentals. We met up with friends over at The Lodge in Franklin, TN and styled one of their meeting rooms to be a vibrant, cheerful space that encourages employees to think big!

This bright conference room was already drenched in natural lighting. We added to that brightness with colorful vintage chairs, like the Charlotte, Amanda, Sadie, and Alex chairs along with the Cross-back and Adaline Chairs.

Our Vintage Sunny Rolling Cart was a thoughtful touch – employees were able to grab a caffeinated beverage at any point in our Earthen Alabaster Mugs, keeping their minds sharp! Attendees were able to grab more than just caffeine – Carafes filled with various juices were not only beautiful but were a refreshing mid-morning treat!

As an added treat, we did away with the expected mug-filled-with-pens centerpiece. Instead, we filled our new Acrylic Rectangle Container with colorful energizing trinkets! Employees loved the silly addition that helped them keep boredom away while working brainstorming with their colleagues.

Wedding Style: Modern Chic

Modern Chic is a darling design that features sleek lines combined with bright colors and lots of texture. Neutral Grayson Farm Tables set the scene and a dressed to the nines with Gold Austin Flatware, Medallion Gold Chargers, and Black & White Triangle Plates. We love the acrylic Ghost Chairs on one side, and the Midas Gold Velour Bench on the other for a unique take on seated dinners.

Wedding Style: Garden Romantic

A sweetly romantic garden party is a wonderful and heartfelt way to exchange vows, with a soft color palette and plenty of vintage touches. Distressed Farm Tables in white wash with natural wood Cross Back Chairs or our Harlin Dining Chairs welcome guests into a secret garden, where dreamy rentals set the scene. Tables are adorned with ornate details like our Hob Knob Glassware and Abby Fine Silver Flatware next to satin dinner napkins, or placed perfectly among Chiffon Table Runners. Lounge areas aren’t left out, as our Tessa Tufted Linen Beige Loveseat with wooden legs adds natural subtle romance to any area.

Wedding Style: Textured Boho

Couples with a genuine love of nature and vibrant colors fall perfectly in love with this Textured Boho style – a gorgeous mix of organic elements topped with vintage & metallic details. Wood Chargers, Artisan China, unique Como Flatware, and gold flourishes stun in any setting – not to mention, they are accented perfectly regardless of your chosen color palette. Painted vintage furniture is perfectly Bohemian with bright and vibrant colors – the vividly colored Charlotte Chair and vintage Basil Arm Chair are just two selections from our vast inventory of delightful vintage chairs. Natural texture continues from dinner to dessert as a delicious cake is even more beautiful served atop Barnwood Square Cake Plateaus. Free spirits, happy hearts, and a bohemian design that never disappoints.

Brighter weddings and events are on the horizon according to the Pantone Colors of the Year 2017. We love the idea of staying ahead of the trends and incorporating colors that are sure to be seen and well loved on both runways and inside homes for the next couple of years. Care to join us? Our inventory has everything you need!

NIAGARA – The Amanda Chair is the perfect way to bring in Niagara – a moody, denim-like shade of blue – to any celebration or event. The relaxed hue on this particular chair is ideal for a vintage theme – think of pairing it with one of our Farm Tables and our Hob Knob glass collection for a perfect tablescape, or put it next to our mint green Marjorie Coffee Table for a more whimsical look.

Trying to keep things understated and timeless? Simply add an ice blue dinner napkin along with our White Round China Collection for a more minimalist design.

LAPIS BLUE – This deeper shade of blue lends itself to a more modern or more dramatic color palette. And we have the perfect piece of furniture to do just that: our Rhapsody in Blue Side Chair in high back, low back, or dining chair styles.

The gorgeous details of these chairs can easily upgrade any simple design to make a bigger statement. Pair it with white tables like the Trellis side table or Mykonos Coffee Table for a modern look and feel. Or, get dramatic by pairing it with the Urban Drum Coffee Table.

Want to skip the chair but keep the Lapis? We have a table runner or dinner napkin for that! The pop of color adds depth to any tablescape.

PRIMROSE – Bring on the fun with the bright and joyful yellow that is primrose. Incorporate the vitality and excitement of this shade in your event with beautiful vintage pieces in a variety of bright yellow shades. Our Sunny Rolling Cart is the perfect vintage piece to hold your photo booth props, or even displaying your forks, napkins, plates, etc. Keep the pop of primrose throughout by incorporating some of our wooden beverage crates – Pepsi, Double Cola, and Sun Drop crates are all shades of yellow! Add on to the vintage fun by adding assorted vintage suitcases and old story books throughout.
