At Southern Events, we’re all about turning cold days into warm celebrations with style. We know that your special day deserves an atmosphere that’s both inviting and romantic. From elegant ceremony seating to details that wow, we’ve got everything you need to transform your indoor wedding into a snug, intimate affair. Ready to make your ceremony the talk of the season? Explore indoor ceremony inspiration featuring our modern event rentals.

Seating That Says “Welcome Home”

Seating is a key element of any indoor wedding, often occupying a significant portion of the space. The right chairs do more than provide comfort—they help set the mood for your entire ceremony. Begin by selecting seating that blends elegance with a welcoming feel. Our Harlin and Adeline Dining Chairs offer a sense of homeliness, making your celebration feel like an extension of your living room. For those who prefer traditional elegance, our Cross-Back Chairs bring timeless appeal to any setting. Meanwhile, our Antique White Bentwood Chairs add a classic romantic touch. Alternatively, provide a dramatic, moody flair that’s sure to captivate your guests with the Black Willow Chairs.

Aisle Decor That Steals the Show

Transform your aisle into a picturesque pathway with indoor wedding decorations that add warmth and visual interest. Layered vintage rugs in subtle hues can soften the look of cold concrete or hardwood floors to create a plush and inviting walkway. Alternatively, keep the aisle clear and use a rug to frame the altar area, making it the focal point of your ceremony. Enhance the entrance to your aisle with whiskey barrels adorned with large floral arrangements that cascade elegantly onto the floor. For a backdrop, a wooden cross or our white Fiona Mantle can set a charming scene. And if your ceremony is on the longer side, provide a cozy spot for the bride and groom to relax. Perhaps a pair of velvet armchairs, such as the Clover Velvet in rich emerald or the Saylor Navy Velvet.

Details that Wow

The details are what make your indoor ceremony truly memorable. Consider adding a touch of luxury with a champagne display! A grab-and-go station set up with one of our stylish bookshelves and elegant glassware will leave your guests impressed and talking long after the event. For a seasonal twist, you might also set up a coffee or cocoa station featuring a market cart. A little something that encourages guests to mingle while they wait for the ceremony to start. And don’t forget the fun factor—our nostalgic popcorn machine can serve up gourmet popcorn. Consider festive flavors like white chocolate and peppermint flakes or mixed with red and green M&Ms.

With these thoughtful touches, you can create a warm and intimate indoor wedding ceremony that’s both elegant and cozy. At Southern Events, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life with our extensive range of rentals and design guidance. Reach out today and let us assist you in making your indoor wedding ceremony a real treat!

Winter Luxe 

This style offers an elegant look that nods to the season while maintaining a timeless appeal! To begin, arrange long banquet tables for an intimate look, elevated with sophisticated acrylic seating. Or you can infuse a touch of luxury with Gold Chiavari Chairs. These look stunning complemented by gold accent china – stack the Gold Rim Glass Chargers and Vera Floral China with Austin Gold Flatware. You can also enhance the tablescapes with lush greenery and velvet napkins in the shade Magnolia.

For an equally stunning cocktail hour, feature an ornate Christmas tree, flanked by Gold Bamboo Arm Chairs or the Fern Velvet Sofa. Just don’t forget accent tables! Finally, delight your guests with classic cocktails served in our Smoke Beaded Tumblers or sleek stemless champagne flutes.

Modern Moody

Are you dreaming of a sophisticated black and white formal winter wedding? We recommend an indoor reception with minimalist acrylic seating. For example, the Acrylic Ghost Armless or Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs. What’s more, the latter stars an intricate, almost ice-like back! At the reception, create a cozy atmosphere with softly lit tables adorned with black tablecloths, crisp white napkins, and china. Such as our White Coupe China or Carerra Marble Dinner Plates.

Moving on to the cocktail hour, adorn bistro tables with the striking black and white Nova Linens. As well as Acrylic Casper Square Back Barstools. And don’t forget the pièce de résistance! To be specific, espresso martinis with whipped cream, elegantly served in our Gatsby Coupe Glasses.

Beautiful Hues of Blue

If you favor bright and airy celebrations, incorporate beautiful shades of blue into your winter wedding. Begin with White Chiavari Chairs at your ceremony for a sophisticated look. In the same fashion, set round tables with Silver Leaf linens to infuse a hint of radiance and complete the vision with silver-accented china. For instance, our Silver Rim Glass or Belmont Beaded Chargers and Abby Flatware. Then, inject pops of blue into the design using our Heritage Light Blue or London Fog Velvet linens – fan favorites! Lastly, craft an attention-grabbing cocktail area, featuring our Pearce Modular Lounge.

Classically Festive

Embrace the classic charm of Christmas with a warm and festive winter wedding theme! Elevate your indoor ceremony by using Cross Back Wood Chairs adorned with lush greenery. For the reception, opt for long banquet tables that encourage lively conversations. Drape them with crisp white linens and napkins in bright red and deep greens – quintessential colors of the season. Next, add a touch of luxury when you feature our Gold Round Lacquer Chargers topped with Athena China and Fresno Flatware.

For your cocktail hour, or if you are planning table service, consider our contemporary Cybil or romantic Monaco Glassware. If you want a cozy lounge area to match, we recommend the Bennett Leather Sofa and a pair of Everly Chairs.

The wintertime is a festive season, but when it comes to hosting some people prefer a more minimal and timeless look. A setup that oozes warmth and charm but is totally on trend! Get inspired when you take a look at some of our favorite minimal winter event rentals, from serving ware to lounge furniture and more.

Stone China

Planning to host dinner at your winter event? Check out our beautiful Earthen China! These simple neutral-colored serving plates are so gorgeous your guests will want to take them home. They come in three colors: Alabaster, Onyx, and Stone. For a luxe metallic touch, pair any of these dishes with our Austin or Brushed Copper Flatware.

White Eiffel Arm Chairs

When featuring a minimal dinner table, like our Farm Tables, you can have some fun with your chairs. Our White Eiffel Arm Chairs are a unique contemporary option that are insanely comfy! Alternatively, use our Rustic Benches to lend a more cozy touch. You might also decorate these seats with soft throws or pillows for a fun pop of color.

Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa

For a large social event or even an intimate cocktail hour you’ll want a cozy lounge area. Our Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Saylor Navy Velvet Chairs are ultra-soft, simple, and beautiful. A rich blue hue, they are especially gorgeous if you are hosting an ice-inspired event or featuring a cool-toned palette.

Gold Hammered Coffee Table

To create a fully functioning lounge area, don’t forget some accent tables! Our Gold Hammered Coffee Table features an organic shape and a muted color that will complement most any furniture. If you prefer a more toned-down color palette, opt for Pewter instead.

Gold Bar Cart

Last but far from least, we recommend our Gold Bar Cart! This elegant piece is oh so versatile, whether you want to offer a table-side drink service or a small self-serve drink station. It’s a beautiful piece for both large and intimate events alike. Just don’t forget to stock up on glasses – like our Reese Glassware.

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.
