Modern Magnolia, located in Murfreesboro, provides delightful rentals for dinner parties, weddings or tea parties for two. With inspired accessories, vintage china and dinnerware, Modern Magnolia is a great option for the bride who is looking for a Southern Chic event. Owner Melinda Haines has curated a wide selection of pretty props that pair perfectly with charming rustic and shabby chic Nashville area weddings.
This "Farm to Table" style shoot was organized by Modern Magnolia, Modern Vintage and Joy Chambers Photography. Melinda Haines, Becca George and Joy Chambers have worked together on many other projects, and were targeting brides with a unique personality for this shoot.
This trio of vendors each knew florists, chefs, merchants and craftsmen in Rutherford County who might not ordinarily be thought of as a source for weddings. They aimed to create an intimate farm to table wedding highlighting these local resources.
For the shoot, Melinda from Modern Magnolia created two dish themes: “vintage charming” with softer colors and “vintage colorful” using blue and white china with bright highlights. With over 200 dinner plates to choose from, Modern Magnolia can put together any color palate that a bride has in mind. From elegant to country sophisticated, each piece tells a story of American history.
To see the full inventory of wedding rentals in person, visit Modern Magnolia inside The Write Impression, 120 South Maple Street in Murfreesboro on the historic square. You can also check out their wares online at modernmagnolia.net.

Yesterday, we shared two wedding looks created by Toni of Celebrations by Design: romantic and classic. We're back with two additional wedding styles that Toni says are also popular with brides: rustic and garden. You may immediately connect with one style or you might be more of a mixture. Either way, the right planner can help you pull it all together and make your wedding a true reflection of you and your groom.
~~~
Country Chic
How would you describe this style?
Toni of Celebrations by Design: This is for the outdoorsy type of bride. She likes the rustic feel, the wildflowers and wearing cowboy boots with her wedding dress.
Who is this style perfect for?
Toni of Celebrations by Design: Someone who has an appreciation for her country, rustic roots and who wants a classic design, yet added versatility.
~~~
Vintage Garden
How would you describe this style?
Toni of Celebrations by Design: Feminine, floral with natural elements and soft colors. This bride loves wildflowers, simple designs throughout the wedding, DIY projects and wants to incorporate some vintage elements in the overall décor.
Who is this style perfect for?
Toni of Celebrations by Design: Maybe a bride that likes nature and opted to have the wedding outside, in a park or garden, or if the wedding was indoors there would be a lot of natural elements.

We had the chance to chat with Alyssa DiCicco, a designer/planner at Liberty, to learn more about the company’s love of weddings and commitment to building solid relationships with its clients. Read on to discover more...

Tell me about your service offering.
We offer full-service event rentals for the mid-South including tables, chairs, tents, furniture, linens, glassware, flatware, china and more!
How many years have you been in business?
We've been in business since 1983! Our current owner, Bruce Hurst, began working for Liberty as a delivery driver in high school and continued his work after college. In 2002, Mr. Hurst purchased the company and it became incorporated as Liberty Party Rental.
How did you get started in weddings?
Liberty's history: Mr. Hurst was motivated to purchase the rental company for numerous reasons. He loved the dynamics of the party rental business because it allowed him to be outside working and connecting with customers. Additionally, the wedding and event rental industry in Nashville was just beginning to flourish. Being able to introduce new and innovative products to the Nashville market continues to be a key element to the success to Liberty Party Rental.
My experience in weddings: I started out in the wedding world by working part-time for Ashley's Bride Guide! I helped with social media and advertising campaigns back in 2008-2009! Since then, I've worked in the marketing world and I'm so happy to be back in the wedding industry with Liberty! Planning events and styling weddings is something I've always loved doing on my own. Now I'm really enjoying it as my job!
What do you like most about weddings?
I love seeing the groom's face the first time he sees his bride walking down the aisle. What a special moment! Also, since I work in the rental business, it's fun to see what colors and styles brides bring into their weddings. Each wedding has a unique touch that really speaks to what the couple is like.
What’s your favorite wedding pic/video and why?
I really love the photos that Kristyn Hogan took from Candi and Christopher's wedding! Candi and Christopher used a lot of our decor elements including our Tuscan Brentwood Chairs, Farm Table, Glassware, Flatware and more! The styling is spot on and the rentals they picked out really pair well with the rustic outdoor setting!
What is your service philosophy?
Here at Liberty, we want to give brides exquisite products, dependability and expertise. Our sales staff is always here to help you with anything you need. We like to handle the details for our brides and make them feel at ease in our time working with them, from planning all the way to breakdown.
What are your strengths compared to others in your category?
We are one of the largest rental companies in the Nashville area! We have over 150 linen colors and patterns to choose from! Plus, we strive to provide new products for our customers; many of which you cannot find anywhere else in the region. Anytime you call during business hours, one of our sales staff will pick up the phone right away to assist you. They have years and years of experience and can answer any questions you have! We strive to have the best customer service around!
What attracts brides to your service/company?
Our products and service really attract brides to work with us. Our products are on trend - the fact that we carry our beautiful farm tables, bentwood and ghost chairs, chevron linens, burlap linens, and more really draws brides to work with us. We also do custom tenting and flooring! Our sales staff pays much attention to detail so every aspect of the wedding is spot on!
What would previous couples say was the main reason they selected your company?
We really help couples envision what their wedding will look like. We work closely with many venues in Nashville and our sales staff is great with knowing how many tables will fit in a space, as well as how many wine glasses you need to order for your cocktail hour. We pride ourselves on our customer service and our relationships with our clients.
Describe the bride/couple that is most attracted to your service/company?
This one is really hard to nail down because we work with so many different clients! Our products range from simple to extravagant, ultra modern to shabby chic. A bride can rent basic white poly linens for a very small and simple wedding all the way up to a large tented wedding for 1,000+ guests! No order is too small or too big!
What is the most “now” / innovative new product, service, style or other aspect of your industry that brides and grooms might appreciate?
We love our custom made farm tables! We have some new custom farm benches to match along with our Tuscan Bentwood chairs! This shabby chic trend is still going strong - you can always pair our burlap and lace table runners and rent our mason jars and whiskey barrels to keep with the trend! And if you're not all about shabby chic, we have some fun sparkly glam products in stock, too! We have a ton of new products coming in this spring, so stay tuned to our Facebook page for some announcements!
Liberty Party Rental also has a wonderful blog, full of inspiration and the latest ideas for Nashville weddings and evets. Check it out at blog.libertypartyrental.com.

Last month, I attended the ISES (International Special Events Society) Special Events Show to learn all about the latest event design trends from all over the world. Afterward, I visited with my good friend Julia at Liberty Party Rental to look through their inventory and to learn how Liberty can help Nashville brides, grooms and event planners incorporate the latest event looks into their wedding design.
Here's what's hot and how Liberty can help:
1) Purple
Every year the folks at the Pantone Company select a “color of the year” based upon their research for future trends in fashion, products and lifestyle. This year they selected Radiant Orchid as the pantone color of the year for 2014.
Radiant Orchid is a very strong purple color and filling an entire reception space with it could be overwhelming to your guests. The good news is that it’s a very versatile color and plays well with others. Make sure to use it in combination with other colors like amethyst, topaz, rose quartz, whisky, olive and raisin to add balance. These are great supporting colors.
Liberty Party Rental has a beautiful new line of linens called Majestic. Just like the name suggests, they are rich fabrics with a luster and sheen like shantung silk. Majestic linens come in a variety of the aforementioned supporting colors and, of course, Radiant Orchid.
2) Patterns
Patterns in linens are becoming popular - florals, fine art patterns, nature studies, vintage patterns and Venetian paper patterns are very hot!!!
Don't be afraid to mix and match pattern and styles tied together by common colors.
3) Seating
Don't just use tables for your guests at the reception, create a lounge-style seating area with lots of pillows. Pillow accessories like fashion pins on pillows, sashes and reversible pillows will create a luxury feel. Velvety, corduroy and chenille materials add depth to decor. A knitted throw in your signature color purchased at any value store can also be added to create texture. Or, add style with chair ties in a variety of colors and fabrics. You want seating areas to feel cozy so decorate these areas like you would your own living room.
