A wonderful setting for an outdoor wedding is a lush garden, filled with beautiful greenery and colorful flowers. The North Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill has it all – the gardens, flowers and a upscale rustic reception room with a balcony overlooking the landscape. This is where Kate and Jeff were wed last weekend and it was beautiful!

Months ago Kate contacted Southern Vintage Table about renting some of our vintage milk glass for her wedding reception tables.  She wanted a mix of vases and compotes, all sizes and shapes. Of course, the pristine white of the milk glass makes it a beautiful centerpiece for any table but for a wedding, well, it’s simply perfect.

Kate chose Fernrock Farm, a local flower farm, to provide the  flowers for this special occasion. I delivered the vases and compotes to Carrie and she, along with helpers Gerri and Trudy, created stunning succulent arrangements and bouquets for these vintage pieces.

Congratulations to Kate and Jeff!  Wishing you endless joy and love. Thank you, Rebecca Ames, for sharing your photographs of this gorgeous wedding and be sure to see more photos on Rebecca’s blog. For a brief history on milk glass, check out our previous post, The Beauty of Vintage Milk Glass, and see more of our collection on our Pinterest Board.  Celebrate any occasion with lovely, charming vintage milk glass!
