So Long, Summer: As the golden season takes its final bow, we’re easing out of sun-drenched days with a fresh curation of tablescapes brimming with Southern charm.

Whether you’re savoring the last languid weeks of warmth or already plotting soirées for Summer 2026, these radiant settings prove one thing: vivid color continues to reign supreme in the world of weddings.

Catch a Drift of Coastal Charm

Design by Gathered Events | Carmela Joy Photography

Who says you can’t embrace your inner coastal-grandmother chic while channeling the romance of a French farmhouse? Call it a summer revival. This is for the bride who grew up mood-boarding Nancy Meyers interiors, adores the breezy ease of coastal living, yet chooses to wed closer to home in Dallas. Her “something borrowed, something blue” finds its perfect match in the heirloom-worthy Heritage Collection, a nod to timeless Southern elegance.

Gathered Events struck the balance between gracious tradition and society-page polish. The design layers classic white Chiavari chairs with cane-back seating, long mess-hall dining with delicate floral motifs, creating a reception that feels both cinematic and lived-in. It’s the kind of setting that whispers refinement while welcoming guests to truly linger.

You can dive into the full romance of this day over at Wed Society Vows That Wow—but for now, consider this your blueprint for effortless Southern-coastal glamour.

In Bloom with Bright, Classic Colors

Design by Julian Leaver Events | Brett Heidebrecht Photography

We love a classic wedding that dares to embrace color, and this contemporary reception at the Rosewood Mansion proves exactly why. The setting unfolded like a Father of the Bride movie scene—equal parts backyard charm and elevated soirée.

A cascade of blooming bougainvillea created a vivid backdrop for the evening, infusing the celebration with California-meets-Texas romance. Tablescapes layered effortlessly chic details—rattan textures, heritage-inspired china, and playful accents—that felt as stylish as they were at home in this storied Dallas venue.

Design duo Julian Leaver and Sarah Kane curated a true masterclass in modern entertaining, punctuated by the playful sparkle of our Carrie Collection of cosmo and wine glasses. The result: a reception that was as timeless as it was joyfully unexpected.

A Moment for Butter Yellow

Design by Alice and Apricot Events | Parolor Picture Photography

We are still swooning over the ever-sophisticated allure of butter yellow—a sunny shade currently reigning supreme in the world of fashion and weddings.

For Alice and Apricot’s radiant bride, the hue of the moment set the tone for a joyful garden-inspired celebration. Classic china collections anchored the tablescapes with timeless elegance, while the Raynaud Paradis Blanc Charger commanded the spotlight. A collaboration with the celebrated British design firm Fromental, the charger’s porcelain canvas comes alive with a dreamlike profusion of butterflies and birds of paradise, each stroke hand-decorated to perfection.

The result? A reception that was as chic as it was whimsical—an ode to modern romance wrapped in nature’s most exquisite palette.
