Vintage Fall Table Settings

Styled Shoot – The Open Outdoors at Bill Scott Pavilion

We trust everyone celebrated Thanksgiving with gratitude, kindness, and optimism! Now onward to more winter holiday festivities while we continue to keep each other safe and healthy.

Today’s post shares images from a styled shoot at the Bill Scott Pavilion in Raleigh. This nature -filled venue inspired Primrose + Lily‘s design and Alicia Hite Photography snapped beautiful images. This venue is open and airy, with an updated shelter, a stately stone fireplace and mantle, and a gorgeous view of a tree-lined lake.

The incredible florals were created by Event Flouret. We love how fall berries and colored leaves embellished the flowers and greenery. Our vintage tableware and decor, including plates, flatware, glassware, candleholders, and peg votives, look splendid amongst these natural elements.

As we happily browsed through the photo gallery, we noticed that Primrose + Lily played with several different designs. Notice how the napkin presentation and place card vary in each of the place settings below. With so many options, how does one choose?

Lily + Primrose also explored different centerpiece arrangements. There’s a classic floral centerpiece, a vintage candelabra with candles, and the same candelabra with vintage peg votives. Since different venues have their own requirements regarding an open flame, these options are great to have.


Well done, Primrose + Lily! The styling variations showcased your talents beautifully. We look forward to our next collaboration!

Styled Shoot – Rustic & Elegant Dessert Tables with a Vintage Flair

Oh me oh my – this gallery of wondrous images are going to delight you! Captured by Mylina Russell Photography, Shrimi of Happily Desserted has fully and completely displayed her incredible baking talents. We can personally attest that these treats are even more delicious than they look!

When we were invited by Emily of Emily Katherine Events to provide the cake stands, serving trays, handcrafted boxes, decor, and other items for this styled shoot, we were all in. Two styles were created -a rustic outdoor dessert spread and an elegant indoor display.

As you will see, Shrimi baked, Emily styled, and their joint talents are amazing!

Southern Vintage Table Events – Intimate August Wedding at The Parlour

Intimate gatherings have become the norm in these days of COVID; however, couples are recognizing the gifts a smaller wedding can bring. Beyond being more budget-friendly, the smaller guest list brings together family and close friends, who know the couple the best, to share this day. Spending quality time means more lasting memories for both the couple and their guests.

These photographs, courtesy of Rebecca Ames Photography, portray the beauty of the intimate wedding of Ashley and Ian. Held at The Parlour at Manns Chapel this August, their wedding was exquisite with lovely details and touches. Be sure to see the final photogaph – it’s divine!

Ashley and Ian, thank you for entrusting us to provide our vintage tableware for your wedding. We truly enjoyed working with you and we loved seeing Rebecca’s photographs. Also, we are extremely grateful for your 5 Star Review on Wedding Wire. It was marvelous!

I cannot say enough good things about Shelly and Southern Vintage Table; she was so helpful and wonderful to work with! We planned our wedding from afar, and really appreciated how responsive and detail-oriented she was in helping us figure out our tablescape, the items/amount of items we needed, how we wanted our napkins folded, etc. Her inventory is extensive and charming– I’m pretty sure any style (modern, retro, classic) can be accommodated. Our china, linen, and cake stand rentals were beautiful and truly helped “make” our wedding!

Styled Shoot – Blue & White Theme for the Green Guild Challenge

Kacye of Kay Mae Design is featured today as the 2nd planner of the Green Wedding Guild Challenge at Windy Hill in Cedar Grove, NC. (See more about this sustainable wedding matchup at Styled Shoot – The Green Guild Wedding Challenge at Windy Hill as well as the vintage stoneware theme composed by Maria of  KaraMia Events.)

As you can see from these glorious photos by Rose Trail Images, Kacye beautifully designed a sweetheart table fashioned on Windy Hill’s wooden spool. This romantic visage, complete with a vintage lace tablecloth, vintage blue & white layered place settings and decor, and a dessert vignette set on our vintage trunk and suitcase, was strategically positioned under a lovely, old tree.

Well done, Kacye! We are so pleased you made your way to Cedar Grove from Maine to participate in this eco-wedding challenge. The final two table designs will be coming soon!

Styled Shoot – The Green Guild Wedding Challenge at Windy Hill

The Green Guild gauntlet was thrown down! Member planners of the Green Wedding Guild were challenged to style a table with sustainability as a key consideration. This friendly competition, brainchild of the Green Wedding Guild directors, Emily of EKEvents and Maria of KaraMia Events was held at Windy Hill Farm in Cedar Grove. Four planners, joined by partner Guild members, excitedly picked up that gauntlet and designed their styles using these guidelines:

Green Guild Challenge Guidelines

~ Flowers must be sourced locally and seasonally, and no floral foam may be used.
~ No “new” items may be purchased for this shoot. Decor may be rented, borrowed, or thrifted.
~ Attire & accessories may be pre-loved, from a rental company, or from a sustainable designer.
~ Food (if used) should be seasonally & locally inspired.
~ Stationery (if used) should contain recycled content, be sourced from sustainably managed forests, or in some other way promote sustainability (eg: seed paper, bamboo paper, etc.)..

Today we share the first of the four styled tables. Planned by Maria of KaraMia Events and captured by Kivus & Camera, this style features natural wood elements, vintage tableware, and fall florals.

Southern Vintage Table shared our vintage lace runner, wildflower stoneware, stainless flatware, and amber goblets along with the wooden candleholders. With American Party Rentals‘ table and chairs and Event Flouret‘s lovely florals, the tablescape beautifully meets all the sustainability guidelines!

We adore this dessert table display with Happily Desserted‘s beautiful cake on our wooden cake stand, Sage & Swift‘s macarons stacked on SVT’s woven and iron tiered stand, and, of course, our vintage microscope. The florals in the vintage tin perched on top of the tiered stand is a delightful touch!

Well done, Maria! We really dig your vintage style and Elyssa’s incredible photos! Thank you for inviting us to help with your entry!

Styled Shoot – Four Shoots in One at Burke Manor Inn

It was a busy, busy day at the Burke Manor Inn & Pavilion in Gibsonville. The rain did not deter the enthusiasm for this multi-styled shoot designed by Bess and Beau Event Design because there was so much to see and do!

The shoot was comprised of four different looks with each designer at Bess and Beau showcasing their talents. Today we are so excited to share Norma’s boho look, a style we absolutely love, complete with bold vintage midcentury plates, stainless and bakelite flatware, macrame jars and bottles, and pillow seating at Norma’s handcrafted pallet table. These photos by Naomi Turner Photography might just turn you into a bonafide boho fan, that is, if you aren’t already as enthralled as us!

More to come in the coming weeks, when we share Eva’s vintage lounge and Kerri’s soft and airy tablescape. Thanks to all the vendors who participated and a special shoutout to Bess and Beau for inviting us to share our vintage wares!

Southern Vintage Table Event – A Beautiful Day for a Keys Events Styled Shoot at Merry Hill

Merry Hill Shoot

Finally, a glorious cool September day – perfect to be outdoors at Merry Hill for a Keys Events styled shoot. Originally, our two companies were set to be part of a vendor wedding team on this day, but, alas, things didn’t quite work out. When Monique suggested that we join her team of vendors for a shoot on this day, we immediately said “yes”. How splendid it was!

Styled shoots have always been a great means to meet new vendors and experiment with creative designs; however, they have become the saving grace for many vendors during this pandemic year. We have been able to keep busy, stay focused on our business, and work alongside other vendors in a shared creative enterprise. Typically, SVT might be part of 2-3 styled shoots in a year – so far this year, we have participated in 5 and have 5 more on the calendar. We have met many new folks in the wedding industry and visited several new venues. As the saying goes, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”

With our masks donned, Monique of Keys Events and Jaclyn of Jaclyn Auletta Photography worked together to get that perfect shot. It’s always inspirational to see our fellow vendors in their element. These two professionals collaboratively hummed along, getting the most out of the setup.

The photos shared today are our own and we’ll be eager to share Jaclyn’s professional images. Armed with a new iPhone 11, we loved focusing on our vintage wares, especially those placed on the bar provided by Oak City Rental Events. And, with Folie a Deux Events’ luscious florals, this vignette on Merry Hill’s front porch was so pretty!

Vintage Amber Goblets

Southern Vintage Table Event – Declaring Golden Love

For some couples, much-anticipated nuptials just can’t wait. Postponing their family and friends’ celebration until next year, Tina and Zack wanted to get married on their original wedding day. With planning help from Stephanie Milosh of Beauty and the Budget Events, the couple stylishly eloped in their back yard with their parents in attendance. Emily of Windsor Grey Photography beautifully documented this lovely day.

Our contribution, albeit small, were the glistering golden vintage goblets on the dinner table. They are fabulously festive and we hope they helped make this elopement even more memorable.

Best wishes to you two! We are certain your friends and family look forward to celebrating with you in 2021!
