Vintage Goblets on Reception Table

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Festive December Wedding

With all the holiday trimmings, Meleah and Devan’s vintage boho wedding was totally glam – big boho centerpieces, hanging wreaths, pine colored runners, and lots and lots of candles. And, the first kiss under the mistletoe? What a memorable moment captured by Assorted Poppies Photography!

The wedding reception tables included place settings with our vintage stoneware plates, colored goblets, and stainless flatware. The table decor, provided by the clients, brilliantly merged the boho and holiday themes.

We join these two cuties in wishing you a beautiful life together! Wendy and Michael, thank you for your kind words! Working with your family was totally delightful!

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, mother

Vintage Valentine's Card

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Valentine’s Date with The Poetry Fox

The Poetry Fox is typing a custom poem on his vintage typewriter for this lucky person!

Yes, a wonderful way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is to enjoy a lovely dinner, eat chocolate, or be presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, right? But, how about a personal poem written just for you by the Poetry Fox? That was just one of the activities Alex from Longfellow had planned for their clients and she needed our help staging the table for him. What a super fun assignment!

Vintage Staged Table

Alex came looking for romantic, vintage pieces to display on the long table where The Poetry Fox would compose his poetry. As I was working on another project, Alex browsed the decor room and made her list – suitcases, bottles, a radio, a clock, books and a typewriter. Tucked in a drawer, we showed her some of our vintage valentine’s post cards and the roses stand which she loved! With two vintage red tins, she was set.

Thanks, Alex, for choosing our vintage decor for this super cool offering for your clients. We truly enjoyed meeting you and loved this creative gift for your clients! (Thanks for sending us photos, too!)

Southern Vintage Table – A Dreamy Blue Wedding

The classic combination of blue and white was featured in Claire and Ethan’s gorgeous wedding at the historic Merrimon Wynne venue in downtown Raleigh. There’s so much to love about their wedding day – the splendid weather, the stunning ceremony setup, the lush tablescape on the reception tables, and, of course, the blissful couple. These artful photos, courtesy of @mackensiemkern show us how dreamy it all was!

For their wedding, Southern Vintage Table provided the large floral vessels that first greeted guests at ceremony side and then were donned in front of the bride and groom’s seats. Filled with exquisite florals from Hathaway Floral Designs, they were meant to be seen wherever the guests were.

Since this was a plated reception, our vintage blue and white plates were presented to guests with their delicious meal prepared by AC Events. As seen below, those vintage salad plates offer a perfect hint of blue and white at each place setting.

Bravo, Claire and Ethan! This memory-filled day was the perfect beginning to your life together. May your lives be filled with joy, love, and lots of adventures!

Vintage Reception Tables with Blue Goblets

Southern Vintage Table Events – Pretty in Vintage Pink and Blue

The two sweetest colors – pink and blue – were woven throughout the wedding celebration of Madison and David. With our vintage goblets and plates along with American Party Rentals‘ napkins, linens, and flatware, the final table settings were graceful and elegant.

Preparation for the tables actually began in our studio with Madison and her friend. Vintage plate by vintage plate, vintage goblet by vintage goblet, and table by table, the pieces were carefully packed in our crates. The result was that the planning team of Hayley and Hannah set the tables exactly as Meredith wished. A+ work indeed!

What a pretty cake on our vintage cake stand!

Vintage Amber Goblets on Reception Tables

Southern Vintage Table Events – Vintage, Vibrant, and Gleaming Goblets

If you were to ask us what is our most requested item from our vast vintage collections, we’d have to say our vintage colored goblets. Sparkling on the reception tables, they add elegance, pizzazz, and splendor.

Allyson and Davis agreed – their reception tables featured our vibrant vintage amber goblets and they gleamed all across the room! After the marriage ceremony at the incredible Cornealius Properties in Goldsboro, these sweethearts and their guests transitioned to the reception hall with tables set with the glow of amber glass. The lovely photos shared here are from Destiny Lee Photography.

What a gorgeous send off for Allyson and Davis! Thank you for using our services and for sharing these photos. Bravo for a beautiful day and best wishes for a wonderful life together!

Tables at Friends of James Beard Benefit

Southern Vintage Table Events – Vintage Tableware Goes to a Friends of James Beard Benefit Dinner

On our post about a month ago, we teased you with photos of vintage gravy boats and green goblets. As promised, we are ready to reveal more about where they went and the mission of a James Beard Foundation dinner.

For foodies and restauranteurs, the James Beard Foundation is synonymous with great food, restaurants, and chefs. According to the Foundation’s website, “The James Beard Foundation is a nonprofit organization with a mission to celebrate, support, and elevate the people behind America’s food culture and champion a standard of good food anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability.”

Akin to the Oscars, they also have yearly awards in many categories, such as Outstanding Restaurateur, Outstanding Chef, Best New Restaurant, Outstanding Pastry Chef, and Outstanding Baker. They also have regional awards and NC is in the Southeast Division. Did you know that North Carolina had 9 nominees for the Best Chef in 2022? Impressive, right? Even more impressive is Chai Pani, a restaurant in Asheville, NC was named the Outstanding Restaurant of 2022 and Ricky Moore, chef of the Saltbox Seafood Joint in Durham, NC was Southeast Regional Best Chef. Wow!

In addition to the yearly awards, the Friends of James Beard Benefit is an opportunity for restaurants and chefs to showcase their culinary talents while raising monies to support the Foundation programs. These occur every month all over the United States.

This is where we come in! Katie Choate invited us to be a part of a benefit family-style dinner hosted by chef Jake Wood, owner of Lawrence BBQ in RTP. Katie and Jake chose vintage china platters and bowls, glass bowls, silver-plated flatware and serving utensils, and a gorgeous punch bowl. Each of these were filled with freshly prepared meats, vegetables, and salads. Below is the announcement for the Holiday Soirée with Lawrence Barbecue.

Step back in time for an intimate, 1960’s-inspired holiday party at Milburnie Fishing Club, hosted by chef Jake Wood of Lawrence Barbecue, named one of Southern Living Magazine’s Best New ‘Cue Joints in the South. For this special dinner, Jake will pay homage to Granny Helen Lawrence’s holiday table with a fabulous family menu. Local favorites N. Sea. Oyster Co., Trophy Brewing, Young Hearts Distillery as well as Napa’s esteemed Reynolds Family Winery will all be featured.

Vintage Teacup and Plate

Southern Vintage Table Events – An Afternoon Birthday Tea Party

Celebrating a birthday with friends is always wonderful and when you add a tea party to the mix, the occasion transforms into a chic affair! This occasion was orchestrated by Curtis of The Rocky Face Tavern in Canton for his client and we were delighted to share our vintage tea collection with them.

After several emails with Curt, we prepared the order – for each guest there was a vintage teacup, small plate, and silver-plated flatware. For each table, we included a tiered stand, two teapots, sugar and creamer, compotes for jam and curd, and a lemon dish. Assorted serving flatware, including tiny spoons and sugar tongs, were packed.

Pieces were grouped by colors – green, pink, light blue, maroon, yellow, and blue/white – so each table had a unique look. To help the venue with the setup, we took photos of each theme and then organized them in the racks and crates accordingly.

Curt shared that it was a grand success! From looking at his photos, you can see that guests arrived in style with hats and gloves, ready for an afternoon tea with friends. Looking forward to working with you again, Curt!

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Perfect Day for Nina and Matt

It was one of the most perfect days in October. Cooler temperatures, sunny skies, and friends and family gathered together to celebrate the nuptials of Nina and Matt at the amazing Chapel Hill Carriage House. Photographed by Wendy Jade Photography, this day will be sweet memories for many folks for many years!

Vintage Reception Tables

Nina and Matt chose the soft, sweet colors of pink and green for their reception tables and they do look especially pretty. The vintage floral plates were carefully chosen for each table to coordinate with the vintage goblets days before the wedding day. (Photos of this day with Nina, Denise, and mom at the studio are near the end.) After this gallery, you can see these eight unique vintage plates on a table and the final look is divine!

Picking out plates for your wedding day is a lot of fun!

Congratulations, you two! We were delighted to have our vintage plates and goblets at your perfect wedding day. Along with your family and friends, we have delightful memories of our time together! Best wishes for many joyful, fun days ahead! (We love this photo!)

We are so grateful for this marvelous Wedding Wire review!

Wonderful Dishware from Shelly!

We rented dinner plates, dessert plates, coffee cups, and water goblets from Shelly for our wedding on October 22,2022. The plates she has available are so unique and beautiful, and my mom, mom’s best friend, and I had so much fun going and picking them all out. I had a very specific vision so Shelly let us come and pick out the plates for each table setting. Every time you go back to the stacks you find a new, beautiful plate to add into the selection! Shelly is really nice, and she handled dropping off, picking up, and cleaning all of the dishware before and after the event. Her selection of vintage plates is amazing and her customer service is as well! I highly recommend Southern Vintage Table for weddings and any other events where you might want an elegant looking table!

Vintage Colored Goblets on Reception Table

Southern Vintage Table Events – Stunning Summer Wedding in Hillsborough

Today we are celebrating the wedding of Sterling and Leo. Held in Sterling’s home town of Hillsborough at the family home, this chic boho affair was truly resplendent.

Our part in their celebration was providing our colorful vintage goblets seen sprinkled on the reception tables. The dessert table, filled with the some of the most delicious treats we’ve ever seen, baked by Kim’s Bake Shop, featured our colored glass cake stands and platters. You can also get a glimpse of the carefully curated selection of our eclectic vintage dessert plates.

Typically, we only showcase photos of our own wares, and you can see our vintage goblets on the tables, but we mostly chose this photo gallery from Klose Up Photography because they exude love and friendship. Family and friends were truly jubilant as these two pledged their love and allegiance to one another.

Wow, Sterling and Leo – what a fun, joyful, and beautiful party! After spending just a little time with you two, we knew each of you had found your truest love. Best wishes on your journey together!

We want to mention that Sterling and Leo choose many local Hillsborough vendors and we truly thank them for that! Here’s a photo of them at our studio selecting the goblets for both their rehearsal dinner and reception. Aren’t they adorable?
