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! Our Metal Ceremony Ring would fit perfectly here as well.

Traditional Outdoor Weddings

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

Nautical-inspired event design is classic and timeless. Whether you’re talking about clothes, interior design, or party themes – nautical themes are elegant, preppy, and here to stay. There’s just something about the combination of whites, navy, and gold that produces an air of a New England soiree. This event theme is ideal for sweet baby showers, seaside or mainland weddings, and fun corporate events. The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to this fresh nautical color combination. You can go as “theme-y” as you want, or shoot for a more subtle approach. Southern Events Party Rental Company has plenty of nautical-inspired event rentals to have you and your guests feeling as if you’re celebrating oceanside (no matter where you are). Ahoy!

Fresh and crisp whites, such as our Santorini Sofa, paired with sophisticated blue linens (Royal Poly or Midnight Poly, for instance) achieve an elegant and preppy nautical theme – effortlessly and subtly. To really have your event set sail, we recommend bringing in flatware and dinnerware with gold accents. Our Austin Flatware and Kate Polka Dot dishes fit quite nicely here. You can anchor the theme with items like our Navy Rug, aptly named Saylor Sofa or Rory Navy Velvet Chairs for extra seating. The sky really is the limit when it comes to how nautical you want your event to be.

Pastels are a growing trend in event design this year. If you watched the Oscars, you know it (we are still swooning over Maya Rudolph’s glorious pink gown – among other amazing looks). Pastels were everywhere. Bonus: This trend incorporates itself beautifully in weddings and events. You can make this color scheme work with whichever various themes you’re going for. Classic? Of course. How about “garden charm”, or Southern, or “rustic glam”… yep, you can do that, too! Whimsical, romantic, and even glamorous, pastels will lend an enchanted feel to pretty much any event or wedding.

Often, when people think of pastel color schemes, they think “sweet, traditional, and girly.” That’s definitely not the case anymore! This pastel color scheme can most definitely be luxe and modern. Imagine monochromatic shades of pastel blue – that look is both sleek, modern, and incredibly fresh.

When creating a fresh look with these colors, you can bring in pastel linens, dishes, furniture, or florals. You could also weave pastel colors through your invitations, food (think French macaroons), or wedding party gowns and accessories. If you’re wanting to create a look with pastels, Southern Events Party Rental Company has everything you need – from linens to dishes to coffee tables!

Love pastels and want help incorporating this fresh palette into your next event? Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com.

2019’s Pantone Color of the Year is Living Coral, and we have all the heart-eyes for this color! There are tons of ways to go about incorporating Living Coral: sweet, feminine, classy, Southern…the ideas go on and on. Here, we are in love with how the spunky color combination of teal and coral can evoke both glam as well as fun vibes. If you’re looking to incorporate 2019’s Pantone Color of the Year – Living Coral – we think this is a fabulous way to do it. We adore how the color pops up in a myriad of ways at this Spring Tasting Event at CJs off the Square (even down to the adorable cocktail).

This glam and fun theme incorporates gold, mismatched and detailed dinnerware, and our swoon-worthy Farrah Teal Velvet Chair. The teal color woven through the theme takes the coral to a new level. The Tessa Tufted Beige Loveseat just had to be part of this look, with the glam and fun lines on the piece calling out to be included in this Coral shin-dig.

Poppies and other coral floral designs–along with coral linens–accented the event, assisting the teal and coral theme in adding to the glam and fun vibes.

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. Our Bennett Leather Sofa was paired with the London Love Seat and Winstead Grey Tufted Bench for an impeccably chic style.

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.

Thank you again Alex Thorton for the beautiful photos, and for Kennedy Occasions for pulling all the beautiful details on this boho fall wedding together.

What better way to spend a summer day than enjoying the outdoors? Many events this time of year include some outdoor aspect – whether it’s by the pool or on a stunning sprawling landscape. We’ve got all you need to keep it cool and comfortable without sacrificing style.

Sutton Furniture

Our most popular outdoor rental, these couches and ottomans convert into whatever shape works best with your space. Available in two different colors, your color palette won’t be bothered. And did we mention how comfortable they are?!

Lanterns

Low lighting always adds a romantic and soft ambiance, perfect for a garden wedding or cocktail style event. Lanterns make the perfect centerpieces, aisle markers, or pathway liners for outdoor spaces that might lack outlets or lighting – and we’ve got a huge selection!

Ghost Chairs

Ghost Chairs are a chic modern addition to an outdoor event. The best part? They are weather proof! Rain or shine, these incredibly stylish chairs and bar stools will hold up.

Beverage Tubs

When your guests are looking for a beverage or two, keep them cool in style. Our vintage Hungarian Baby Bath and Galvanized tubs are perfect for whatever you’re serving up and can easily be matched to your event’s style.

Small Tents

Don’t let one tent do all the heavy lifting! Separate your outdoor spaces to add better flow with our small 10 x 10 tents. A great addition to a larger main tent, these smaller tents are perfect for “housing” registration tables, photobooths, cigar bars, dessert tables, themed seating areas, and more. They’re also a great way to provide a little shade and protect your guests from possible rain.

We love an ethereal design that pulls light colors and soft fabric from the days of disco without jumping into a time capsule. A Dreamy Disco design takes 1970s flair and gives it a contemporary feel- pastel greens and peaches are soft and sweet while bold gold accents liven up the party. Silky smooth velvet invokes a classic 70s vibe while a more modern design keeps the party in the present day. We love a Dreamy Disco for weddings, tea parties, ladies’ luncheons or corporate events looking to channel 70s Dolly Parton.

Product Details: Fitzgerald Gold Side Table, Darcy China, Peaches N’ Cream Poly Napkin, Rouge Round Charger Plate, Vintage Ramona Couch, Vintage Tucker Coffee Table, Gold Metal Sphere, Midas Gold Bench

This styled shoot at the Carnton Plantation married sleek modern neutrals and mixed metals with heirloom china and soft lighting for a dramatically romantic design. Starting with the 8ft Grayson Farm Table, we added formal Black Chiavari Chairs and Mercer White Leather Couches for a timeless black-tie blueprint. Mixed metals of copper, gold, and rose gold throughout the tablescape brought this neutral palette to life. Our Rogue Shimmer Charger was the base for the place setting, topped with our Alabaster & Stone Earthen China and Black Pindot Napkins. To complete the look and add a bit of vintage romance, our Heirloom China Bread and Butter Plate added the perfect finishing touch.

The bold centerpiece bouquet by Lauren Marie Atkinson and rose gold stationery from Designs in Paper mixed with the unique brass geo terrarium holders kept this styled shoot from feeling too buttoned-up while adding to the mixed metals theme. We love this chic romantic look for a gala, elopement, or dinner party. It was all captured beautifully by the talented Jenna Henderson.
