Vintage Reception Table with Clear Goblets and Wands

Styled Shoot – Magical Vineyard Vow Renewal

Crystals, silver, gold, and wizard wands – magic was in the air at this styled shoot held last September. A collaboration by a host of phenomenal vendors resulted in an enchanting and bewitching vow renewal for Stephanie and Matt, an actual couple who own Beauty & the Budget Events. The ethereal images are courtesy of Southern Belle Photography.

Our contributions to the tablescape included vintage silver platters used as chargers, vintage cream and gold dinner plates, and vintage glass salad plates. Vintage crystal goblets and silver-plate flatware exquisitely complemented the magical theme. Also, take note the crystal candleholders and bobeches – aren’t they brilliant?

Be sure to view more photos and find out more about the contributions by each of the vendors on ElopeNC’s blog post, Magical Vineyard Vow Renewal at Davesté Vineyards.

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!

Now for the most amazing seating chart ever! Madison cross-stitched each of these gifts for their guests. What a wonderful reminder of this beautiful evening!

Cheers, Madison and David! It was our pleasure helping you celebrate this memorable day. Best wishes for a joyful life together!

News – Two Awards and Infinite Appreciation!

We are thrilled to share that Southern Vintage Table has been recognized by both The Knot and Wedding Wire! These two wedding industry giants that many couples use when researching vendors for their weddings, use clients’ reviews and ratings to determine the winners. Needless to say, we are immensely appreciative of our wonderful clients.

Here are a few of our amazing client reviews that almost make us blush:

Set the tone for our vintage-themed wedding

Shelly at Southern Vintage Table has an incredible selection of china and table decor that will add a special touch to your wedding! We got so many compliments on our mismatched place settings and every guest felt unique. The price is extremely competitive and Shelly lets you check out her entire collection and experiment with colors and styles in person before coming up with a game plan. We’re so thankful we found Southern Vintage Table!

Classy Style, Classier Vendor

Shelly has a beautiful collection of goblets and china to choose from. From our first meeting to view her inventory, to the final plate selection she was a true gem to work with. She allowed us to pick the plates ourselves which was a fun preparation event and gave the table settings a personal touchI highly recommend Southern Vintage for anyone looking to work with a local small business vendor and have a vintage wedding touch.

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!

(Southern )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!”

Amazing!!!!

The absolute BEST!! Shelly was such a joy to work with and has the most amazing selection of plates, goblets, silverware, candleholders and decorations. She brought our ‘vintage garden party’ vision to life with her blue and white china selection! Can’t recommend Southern Vintage Table enough.

Highly recommend!

We could not have had a better experience working with Southern Vintage Table for our spring wedding! Visiting Shelly’s studio to pick out our rentals was one of my favorite parts of our wedding planning process. She has a huge collection of gorgeous inventory, and she was such an excellent resource in helping us come up with the scheme for our table settings. Delivery of the rentals was seamless, and not only did our tables look stunning, but the vintage items added character to the (brand new) venue. Our only regret is not having used more from her collection!

Beautiful Vintage Table Rentals!

Choosing Southern Vintage Table for our wedding rentals was one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding! Shelly was wonderful to work with and handled all of the coordination for drop off and pick up with our venue so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We rented glassware, plates, and flatware and loved how beautiful and unique each piece was. The amber goblets especially were a favorite that helped bring so much warmth to our table settings. Thank you Southern Vintage Table for a great experience!

Thank you, clients, for sharing your reviews and photographs! Being a part of your wedding day with our vintage rentals brings us so much joy!

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!

Scenes from SVT – January 15, 2023

The new year brings new visitors, new vintage tableware and decor, and an unexpected refresh on the studio.

Our visitors this month are planning baby showers and weddings. Even with individual tastes and visions, the vintage vibe look was apparent. Every tablescape was unique and everyone commented about how much fun they had. This always makes us happy!

New vintage goblets have made their way onto our shelves – gray, dusky blue, pink, and yellow. We also added a few more patterns to our inventory – a bright blue and white set and some groovy boho plates. Finally, we couldn’t help ourselves – even though we have so many vintage suitcases, this pair is really special.

Our last update was an unfortunate surprise on Christmas Eve. Remember that real cold spell we had with temperatures diving into the teens? Well, a pipe In the business next to us burst and water went everywhere – not only in that business but under the adjacent walls to three other spaces, including ours.

Thankfully, the water damage was minimal and the restoration crew came quickly with dehumidifiers and fans. After we cleared the hallway and dishwasher room, they took up the carpet and we painted the concrete floor black. Looks so chic! The rugs in the main room are being professionally cleaned and we are awaiting their return. After reorganizing a bit, we are even more ready for the upcoming wedding season! Kudos to our landlord for all of his help.

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.

Bravo, vendor team! It was a grand success and we are pleased to be invited as a hosting vendor!

Sweetheart Table with Colorful Bottles and Vases

Styled Shoot – A Stunningly Vibrant Shoot Inspired by Frida Kahlo

“I was a child who went about in a world of colors.” – Frida Kahlo (Spanish Mamma)

Frida Kahlo, one of Mexico’s greatest artists and the inspiration for Emily Katherine Events styled shoot, “is remembered for her self-portraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colors. She is celebrated in Mexico for her attention to Mexican and indigenous culture and by feminists for her depiction of the female experience and form.” – FridaKahlo.org

We think you’ll agree that vibrancy and passion are beautifully portrayed in this shoot! The gorgeous floral creations by Sparks and Sand Floral Design are a vision of heavenliness, and of course, the two models perfectly depict Frida and her partner. Her headpiece, dress and jewelry, and his suit are extraordinarily on point, especially when compared to Frida’s self portraits. The talented Cirque91 Photography exquisitely captured everything.

You’ll see many of our vintage pieces on the sweetheart table including the linens and place settings. The colorful vintage goblets, bottles, vases, and candleholders make a bold statement that we think Frida herself would approve.

The dessert table with the beautiful cake and desserts by Happily Desserted also capture Frida’s love for vivid colors. Our vintage touches included the cake stand, dessert plates, gold flatware, and colorful bottles.

“I would like to give you everything I never had, but not even then would you know
how beautiful is it to love you.” – Frida Kahlo (Spanish Mamma)

Bravo, Emily Katherine Events and sponsoring vendors! We are in love with this shoot and look forward to working with you again!

Lastly, be sure to watch this beautiful movie by Bovara Studios! The music, narration, and gorgeous footage will captivate you!
