Southern Vintage Table Events – Afternoon Tea Reception

Three wonderful things happened this week! First, we received gorgeous wedding photos of Jenn & Teague’s June wedding from Rebekah Senter Photography. Second, Jenn and Teague’s wedding “Romantic Vintage Wedding at Rigmor House,” was published in Borrowed and Blue! And, third, SVT has a business listing in Borrowed and Blue with two featured events. Wooo Hooo!

Our part in this beautiful occasion was to provide the vintage tableware for the Friday tea reception after the outdoor ceremony. Jenn wanted an English feel with all the tableware in blue and white so we had blue & white and white teapots for each table, blue & white china, and blue goblets. Our vintage napkins and silver flatware competed each place setting.

The reception plan was that we would set the tables inside the space in the morning and after the wedding, the guests would come in for tea. Well, the weather was not cooperative that weekend so Plan B was on – have the wedding ceremony inside and then quickly “flip” the room for the reception.

To help with this transformation we organized everything on the bar in the kitchen hallway, ready for the “flippers” to pick up. The teapots were lined up per table, plates stacked, and napkins folded. In the kitchen, Jenn and Teague’s family and friends were filling the tiered stands and serving dishes with the delicious treats for the buffet.

Although we weren’t there for the flip, Erica, owner of Folie à Deux Events, assembled a great team. As soon as the romantic ceremony concluded, they moved ceremony furniture out and reception tables in, dropped the linens, and then set the tables. Erica told us Jenn was so happy when she saw the transformation from this sweet ceremony to ….

… this beautiful reception!

Congratulations Jenny and Teague!
Best wishes and joy to you for years to come!

Southern Vintage Table Events – Rustic, Eclectic, & Oh-So Romantic

” Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.”
~ John Keats via Brainy Quotes

Yay! We have more wedding photos to share today! Courtesy of Theo Milo Photography, today’s post features these exquisite photos from Melanie and Holden’s July wedding at Rigmor House in Chapel Hill. This rural rustic venue was a terrific match for our vintage ware and the couple’s whimsical, romantic theme.

As guests entered the reception area they were greeted with this fabulous display. Using the window frames as a backdrop for the dessert table was an ingenious design and we absolutely loved how it put the spotlight on their gorgeous wedding cake created by Irregardless Cafe. Don’t you agree that our vintage garden cart, filled with favors for the wedding guests, is just the perfect final touch?

Inside the venue the reception tables were set with a mixed medley of our vintage china patterns. We really enjoyed seeing them with our sparkling, vibrant goblets and Melanie’s colorful floral napkins. The rich blend of patterns, hues, and textures created a lovely, organic, and romantic vibe.

Melanie and Holden, it was our extreme pleasure helping you with this most important day. We loved working with you, and your graceful, beautiful spirit will long be remembered. Congratulations and wishing you love, joy, and endless bliss together.

Lastly, we are so appreciative of your kindness as expressed in this Wedding Wire review.

We had a wonderful experience with Shelly at Southern Vintage Table and we would HIGHLY recommend them for your event! Shelly was extremely kind, responsive and professional. She remained very flexible and patient with me (I changed my mind several times about what to order!). The vintage dishes and decor looked amazing at our reception! Everyone raved about how beautifully it all came together! They have a wide selection to choose from and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of service!
