Earthy Elegance | Nashville Not Wedding

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

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!

For the Annual Tourism Roadmap with @visitfranklintn, the stage setup leaned into bold lounge seating that gave speakers a place to land without feeling stiff or overly formal 🙌

It changes the energy a bit. Conversations feel more natural, panels feel less rigid, and the space reads more like a conversation than a presentation.

A self-serve drink station done right never feels like an afterthought.

This one works because it’s intentional. Not just a place to grab a drink, but a moment that fits into the overall design. The custom signage sets the tone, the beverage dispensers keep things easy and efficient, and the galvanized tubs make wine feel approachable instead of overly formal.

There’s also something to be said for giving guests a little autonomy. When people can grab what they want, when they want it, the flow naturally loosens up. Lines don’t build, bartenders aren’t overwhelmed, and guests stay in the moment instead of waiting their turn 🍋

No extra color, no heavy layering. Just subtle dimension that keeps the table from falling flat ✨ It’s easy to underestimate how much glassware can shift the feel of a place setting. But when everything else is pared back, it ends up doing more than you think.

Not every wedding needs a big design moment to feel finished.

Ceremony on the lawn with fruitwood chairs and simple white bows. A clean welcome setup that does its job without asking for attention. Then inside, long banquet tables in all white, set against brick that brings in just enough contrast.

It works because nothing is trying too hard!

A great cocktail hour doesn't just happen. 🍃 It's designed. From the bar setup to the lounge seating to how guests naturally move through the space, every detail plays a role in setting the tone for the whole evening. We just dropped a new blog post breaking down exactly how we think about it. Link in bio!

That sage green bar though. 🌿 A statement bar rental isn't just a place to grab a drink, it's one of the first things guests notice when they walk in. The right color and finish can set the entire tone for your event before anyone even finds their seat.

A botanical china pattern, wicker chargers, vintage glassware, and a hand-illustrated menu that ties it all together. 🌿 This is exactly the kind of magic that happens when you take the time to build your table intentionally. Our Franklin showroom is the perfect place to do just that, seeing how every piece plays together before your big day.
