Bright, floral-focused weddings are trending! Perhaps due to the renewed interest in maximalist design or a desire to shift away from neutral palettes. In either case, a vivid color scheme will lend a luxe and modern look for the spring and summer seasons. Get inspired to host a colorful spring wedding with these on-trend ideas starring our stylish event rentals. Southern Events Online has everything you need to pull off a chic celebration, from a whimsical garden ceremony to a bold maximalist reception.

Bold Monochromatic Scheme

One of our favorite bright wedding color schemes is a monochromatic palette. Red, blue, orange, pink, or purple – mixing the hues from any one of these colors are perfect for a bold wedding. For example, this gorgeous tented wedding with bright red and pink tablecloths is classically romantic. Especially when complemented by brilliant floral centerpieces and fresh bundles of greenery. Meanwhile, crisp napkins paired with White Round China and Bradley Flatware kept the look modern and airy. Our Gold Chiavari Chairs are a sophisticated touch, as is the Tessa Tufted Beige Linen Loveseat, overall, a super cozy detail the newlyweds will enjoy.

Refreshing Blue & Green Hues

This spring wedding inspiration stars refreshing blue and green hues, for a soft and organic vibe. It’s a gorgeous look for an early spring wedding as we come out of a cold and dreary winter! Start with romantic tablecloths starring bright blues, like our Light Blue Pindot, or you might consider the Blue Kensington linens, for a chic maximalist design. Furthermore, tie in splashes of green using buttery napkins in the color Fern, and create an elegant drink station to greet guests using our Green Goblets. For a fun interactive element, display them on White Barback Bookshelves. If the weather is nice we always recommend an outdoor lounge! Take a look at our romantic Everly Sofa and Chairs, paired with the Blanche Coffee Table and aqua rug.

Rich & Retro Chic

Dreaming of vibrant wedding colors that will bring a sense of retro charm to your big day? Check out this romantic spring wedding starring a bold palette of teal and amber! Our Sea Glass Velvet Tablecloth is a dark base, complemented by Kennedy Storm Napkins, and Earthen Alabaster China with Austin Gold Flatware provides a chic touch. Our favorite detail is the retro-inspired furniture! From the Antique White Bentwood Chairs to the gorgeous Jaqueline Sofa. Do you love this color scheme and the modern retro rentals?

Victoria and Ben’s rustic chic wedding at 14Tenn in Nashville, Tennessee was a breath of fresh air. They carefully selected their decor and which colors to feature for a beautiful mix of bright whites and muted warm-toned neutrals. Get inspired for your own event with this luxe reception decor, including neutral themed tablescapes.

While some couples want a table to make them stand out, Victoria and Ben opted for a more understated look. We paired our Fruitwood Farm Table with classic folding chairs. Meanwhile, our Davis Glass Cylinders were used to cast a warm glow around the two. 14Tenn’s elegant event space made for a simple but beautiful backdrop.

The first place setting we created was designed for long wooden tables. The use of our bright Darcy China as a base ensured that they stood out against the dark colors. While our Blair Geometric China and Hammered Flatware were a luxe metallic touch. We opted to feature our Carly Glassware, which is sleek with a thick base.

To complement the warm tones of their overall design, they opted to use our Fruitwood Folding Chairs. They pair beautifully with any wood table. To draw from the rustic elements, galvanized chairs were added to the mix.

For the round tables, we created a separate but complementary place setting. Featuring the same Darcy China and Hammered Flatware, but with a different gold accent plate. In this case, our chic Kate Polka Dot China. It was all placed on our stunning Grey Nova linens.

It was a joy to work with Victoria and Ben to create the wedding reception of their dreams! We wish them a long and happy lifetime together.

A smaller wedding does not mean smaller style! To help inspire you, we’re sharing a handful of ways that you can pull off a small, yet elegant intimate wedding, featuring wedding design ideas from a recent styled shoot at the bright and airy boutique Noelle Hotel in Nashville.

Up Close and Personal

By far the most rewarding aspect of hosting an intimate wedding is that you can be truly yourself, as you will be most comfortable amongst the special few whom you invited. With less people around, your guests will also feel more connected to you, as they witness this milestone in your lives and share in your emotions. As shown with our Harlin Chairs, create a seating area that allows everyone to see, hear and be a part of the intimate ceremony.

Elegant Place Settings

When it comes to planning a small wedding, you can still make a statement! Take the elegant table setting we created, which includes our Gold Austin Flatware, Glass Mosaic China, Glass Charger with Gold Rim, and White Round China. It absolutely POPs on the rich Blue Velvet Linens! We were also careful in our choice of Cybil Glassware which, while slightly more whimsical, still fits into the overall aesthetic.

Make the Most of Your Venue

Often times, couples who host an intimate wedding will utilize the same space for both their ceremony and reception. This will save you the effort and cost of a secondary event space, and allow you to make the most of the venue you truly love. Take this into consideration when researching potential venues, as a large enough area can accommodate both the weddings ceremony seating and dinner tables. If everything can be set up from the get-go, there will be less hustle and bustle to rearrange furniture when it comes time to eat.

Splurge on Special Touches

One benefit of opting for a smaller-scale affair is that you will have the budget to splurge on items or elements that you love, like our comfy and downright beautiful Tabby Tufted Grey Linen Loveseat. These special touches can be an item that sparks joy for you or is simply more convenient. Take the opportunity to treat yourself and your loved ones to a special space.

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 Enchanted Florist 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.

Southern Garden Glamour Wedding Design

Couples looking for more Southern garden glamour were wowed by the Garden Party wedding table. We went all out feminine with our color palette, featuring our pops of gold and soft pink with our gorgeous Gold Chiavari Chairs, Glass Chargers with Gold Rims, Austin Gold Flatware, Blair Salad/Dessert Plates. Vintage-inspired touches like our beautiful Darcy China, Champagne Lace Runners and Gatsby Champagne Coupe Glasses pulled the elegant look together while an ornate and girly centerpiece by Enchanted Florist made everyone swoon.

Modern Minimalist Wedding Design

For a modern engaged couple looking for a sleek design, our Modern Minimalist look is perfect. We kept the color palette and wedding design simple and clean, featuring our Glass Mosaic Dinner Plates and square-bottom Cybil Glassware. Our striking Brushed Copper Flatware provided a pop of color against elegant Charcoal Dupioni Linens and our classic White Resin Folding Chairs.

Moody Modern Drama Wedding Design

The Moody Modern Drama tablescape was a hit with engaged couples looking for a bold wedding design. We highlighted our Onyx Earthen China against bright ivory linens and paired our popular wooden Harlin Dining Chairs for a natural touch. Gold accents with mercury votives and Austin Gold Flatware completed the show-stopping look.

Sweetheart Table Wedding Design

For the sweetheart table, our Cowhide Rug was placed beneath a mini Fruitwood Farm Table. Then it was set with Vintage Constance Chairs and Bloom Chiffon Runner. Copper tubing and over-the-top wedding flowers made this sweetheart table design a striking focal point, fitting of the guests that will cozy up as newlyweds here!
