News – Southern Vintage Table Wins Awards

Our clients have honored us this past year with these three prestigious awards – The Knot Best of Weddings 2024, Wedding Wire Couples’ Choice Awards 2024, and The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame. Our hearts are filled with gratitude and appreciation for our clients and their fabulous reviews. Here are some reviews from last year that made our day and year!


Lisa  5.0  Wonderful, calming, and helpful!  Serendipitous! What a wonderful surprise to find Southern Vintage Table. Shelly was perfect to work with. She had so much to choose from and we really valued her suggestions. The reception at home was truly beautiful because of Shelly’s decor. 
I would highly recommend SVT.

Alea  5.0 Beautiful China! Shelly has a huge selection of beautiful China and more!!

Gabrielle 5.0  Stop deliberating and book Southern Vintage Table now! We loved our experience working with Southern Vintage Table for our place-settings and glassware for our wedding. Shelly’s collection of vintage dishes, napkins, glassware and more is unmatched and stunning. My husband and I are global event producers and we give top marks and our highest professional recommendation to Southern Vintage Table. Stop deliberating and book Southern Vintage Table now! Sent on 08/17/2023

Meg  5.0  Amazing & Unique Wedding Vendor!! Southern Vintage was absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough good things about them! Every item we rented from them was perfect and all our guests could not stop talking about how unique and gorgeous how it all looked together. We rented plates, cups and cake stands and each item added such a perfect level of details (and at such a reasonable cost!)  I loved everything so much that I would love to find another reason to rent stuff from them again 🙂

Rachel  5.0  Beautiful Vintage Dishes  Shelly was such a huge help in helping us decide what would look good for our tables at our wedding. She was very accommodating and flexible with our needs. Her dishes were beautiful and really elevated the look at our wedding! I would highly recommend Souther Vintage Table!

Nicole  5.0. Amazing Dinnerware Southern Vintage Table owner Shelly is a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry. She is responsive; communicates well and is detailed orientated. Shelly never rushed any of our meetings or phone conversations and nevertheless very patient with my questions. Her items are BEAUTIFUL and fair in pricing. If you want unique dinnerware for your wedding, look no further – her collection is huge and will make such a statement.

Claire  5.0  Perfect Addition to Our Wedding. Shelly’s blue and white china and accessories were the perfect accent to our wedding. Shelly was very helpful throughout the entire process, from the initial meeting to coordinating the delivery of the items. I have already connected one friend with Shelly and cannot speak highly enough of the Southern Vintage Table.

Wendi 5.0  We had a very good experience with Vintage Table, We would do business with them all over again!!! Vintage Table is very professional, and very friendly to work with. I was very impressed with how they pack their dishes, glass plates and goblets. We chose to pick up and drop off from the store, and everything was packed securely in crates with wheels, so convenient. We were given detailed instructions on how to care for the items we rented. Everything we rented was absolutely beautiful! Thank you Vintage Table for being a part of our daughters special day and for making it possible for her to have the wedding of her dreams! Your tableware is stunning to say the least and your services are over the top! I plan to recommend Vintage Table to everyone I know doing an event! Wendi Travis 

We have the best clients and we love doing what we do!

Vintage Tablescapes in Purple, Amber, and Green

News – Designing Vintage Tablescapes for 2024 Weddings

Before we close out our year, we are already looking toward next year. Today we will introduce you to several of our clients and show you their vintage tablescape designs. What do they have in common? Of course, the pieces are all vintage but also, they all have embraced color for their reception tables. These are weddings to take place in 2024 and, as always, we look forward to selecting their vintage pieces for their celebration.

Let us present two creative writers who met in school and now are getting married! Their design is super fun – table color schemes in brown, green, teal blue, yellow, and purple. It’s going to be a wonderful, vibrant celebration! (And, we got to slip in a slide show for you!)

This couple loves color and texture! With the various patterns of the vintage wildflower stoneware, they added colored goblets and patterned napkins. Our green and amber peg votives down the center will add another layer of glitz. This is certain to delight their guests!

When you can’t attend the meeting to design your reception tables, who do you call? Your parents, of course! These two visited the studio, perused our collections, and designed a blue themed tablescape for their daughter. We think she’ll like their vision!

Lastly, our client and her mother fell in love with the combination of blues and gold for their tablescape. They really loved trying various options and the different hues of our vintage blue goblets will be stunning!

What’s left for us this year? We have one return this week from a birthday tea party and at least one more client visit. As with any business, there’s always much to be done behind the scenes and we’l appreciate having a bit of time to tackle these tasks. Enjoy your week!

Vintage Vases Tablescape

News – Our Latest Vintage Additions, Eclectic Vases & Planters, and a Bit More

Time to catch you up on our news at Southern Vintage Table! We’ve got new vintage inventory and we are also showcasing our collection of vintage and handcrafted vases and planters.

Slowly we are building a collection of vintage items featuring orange. These three ginger jars are stunning and can be filled with florals or used as decor. Their vibrancy is delightful! We also have a few candy dishes that beautifully complement this colorful look.

Here are two vintage sets of goblets we have recently added. Currently we have the Diamond Point pattern in clear, green, amber, and now pink! We’d love to find the blue and black ones at some point. The set of Flaming Orange Pebble Beach midcentury goblets are incredible! We haven’t seen this pattern and now we have 8 of these to offer our clients. The hunt is on for the other colors – lemon twist, pink lady, black pearl, mocha, and crystal ice.

Diamond Point by Indiana Glass and Pebble Beach by Fostoria

Three new vintage dinner plate patterns have been added to different collections – green & white, midcentury retro, and elegant florals. All different but oh-so cool!

Tulane Commemorative by Wedgwood, Tanglewood Brown by Royal (USA), Pinecone by Lifetime China

Lastly, we have a design suggestion for those brave clients who crave the unexpected! Our collection of both vintage and handcrafted vases and planters is growing and we’d love for someone to embrace them in their tablescape design.

(Disclaimer – these are all faux flowers and arranged a bit haphazardly. Imagine if you used fresh florals!)

Vintage Colored Wine Goblets

News – Getting Back to Blogging!

Our blog and social media have gone dark this past month, which we didn’t intend to happen. Where have we been? We’ve been recovering from a total hip replacement. Instead of catching up on emails and correspondence, and completing small projects, we needed time to heal. This meant doing much of nothing but icing muscles, resting, and going to physical therapy. Thankfully, with the help of friends, family, and helper Keven, our business kept on track.

Now it’s time to get back into the groove of sharing! Today’s post is a continuation of Gab and Tucker’s vibrant wedding at the Carolina Grove but this time we are sharing our own photos. Because the clients wanted us to set the tables, we were able to see the final result and snap a few of the many cool place settings and details. Mixed vintage plates, water and wine goblets, flatware, and napkins – every table was vibrant and fun!

As we mixed the vintage plate collections for each table, it was the perfect opportunity to include some of our commemorative plates featuring places and people. How fun are these, especially the Morehead Planetarium plate?

Along with vintage colored water and wine goblets, Gab and Tucker wanted to offer a variety of colored coupes for champagne and tumblers for mixed drinks. Since dessert was a frozen dish, our vintage berry dishes fit the menu perfectly.

We hope our photos show how much we enjoyed providing these vintage treasures for Gab and Tucker’s wedding. Many folks will fondly remember this celebration, including us!

Southern Vintage Table Sign

News – Southern Vintage Table’s Outdoor Sign is Up!

Southern Vintage Table’s sign is finally up on the front of the main building at Boone Square! Even though we’ve been here for more than a year, seeing it when we drive into the parking lot evokes a sense of accomplishment being part of this long-standing business community. Shout outs go to Laser Imaging, Lindsey, Jay, Sam, and Dink for helping us with this milestone.

During May and June we provided our vintage tableware services to 16 fabulous clients with their tea parties, engagement dinners, baby showers, and wedding receptions and it’s time to connect with friends, catch up with our favorite series, and maybe even read a book or two!

But, before we close out for today, here are just a few memories we have of our clients’ table designs and vintage selections from these past two months. What a delightful variety!

Stacks of Vintage Plates

News – Taylor Made Help

We met Taylor when she was returning goblets from a photoshoot at Sugarneck, a rustic woodland venue in Sanford. We instantly clicked over our love for anything vintage. There was just something about her smile and happy personality that we broached the possibility of her working part-time at SVT. She said YES!

Since then she has helped fill orders, placed items back on the shelves, rehung our hanging plants, and loaded our van with delivery orders. Dang, we will miss her when she heads to college this fall! But, until then, we look forward to the mornings she comes to the studio with her positive energy and helpfulness. Taylor, we appreciate you!
