Vintage Green Baby Shower

Southern Vintage Table Events – “Locally Grown” Vintage Baby Shower

“Locally Grown,” may be the most darling theme ever for a baby shower, especially since Caroline and her husband are local farmers. Sponsored by her sister, this happy celebration featured many nods to the theme and we loved every detail.

Christina, the host, visited our studio and started her first table design with our vintage cabbage dishes. Since these were limited in number, plates featuring greens were added along with small green glass berry bowls and green goblets. The final look was like a fresh garden!

A second table design featured pinks and greens. Vintage plates with green details, pink goblets, and pink berry bowls completed the look. The two tables complemented each other so nicely!

As an activity, a representative from the Honeysuckle Tea House entertained guests with a tea tasting. Doesn’t it look fun? And, of course, this became an opportunity for another adorable phrase – “Baby is Brewing” tea cups.

Congratulations, Caroline and husband; your little pumpkin’ will be adored!

PS – Thanks, Christina, for sharing these wonderful photos!

Southern Vintage Table Events – An Exquisite Vintage Blue and White Wedding

Today we travel to Union Valley Farm & Vineyard located in Whiteville, NC to delight in the heavenly wedding of Dallas and Eddie. Courtesy of Jenna Corley Photography, you will see that every detail down to the perfect row of waterfall-folded napkins was thoughtfully designed with the help of planner, Peyton J Events. Our vintage blue and white china, silver-plated flatware, and clear goblets look flawless and we can only imagine how their guests must have felt as they entered the room.

On a side note, when Dallas and Eddie visited us at the studio, they decided that they wanted the tablescape design to be more intentional than random. To help with the setting of the plates, we packed the crates two-by-two with the same pattern so the plate across the table would be the same.

Bravo, Dallas and Eddie! Your impeccable, fun wedding day will be fondly remembered by your family and friends. Best wishes for an amazing journey together!

Scenes from SVT – Our Clients’ Vintage Creativeness

One thing is certain – vintage has many flavors, colors, and designs and our clients prove this time and time again. Today we are showcasing some of the most recent designs by our clients.

Recently, we consulted with photographer Rae Marshall about her upcoming photo shoot at the Matthews and we both loved the final result. The shoot, also designed by Sophie Johnson, will celebrate the LGBTQ+ community as well as include some of the many inclusive vendors. Add the florals and this will be a feast for the eyes!

Both Chelsea and Jessie love color, vintage, and mismatched china. The spring-colored vintage goblets accompanied by a mix of vintage plates will wow their friends next spring at Windy Hill Farm.

Purple, pink, and amber are adorning Lisa and David’s reception tables with vintage goblets and plates that coordinate with these colors. The vintage orange goblets they are holding are for their sweetheart table. We always enjoy seeing our wedding planning friends, and Stephanie of Beauty and the Budget introduced us and helped them make their selections.

Baby showers are fun to plan and attend! Since the parents are farmers, this “cabbage patch” theme promises to honor their family as well as provide many memorable, adorable moments.

Did you know that we also provide centerpieces and speciality items? Hayli and Karel wanted color! They used our vintage colored goblets and glass dessert serving pieces that perfectly expressed who they are. Cori and Nolan came to us for their centerpieces that will include dried floral arrangements we will create. Finally, our most recent visitor wanted vintage vases for her reception restaurant tables as well as dessert serving pieces for the 800 cookies on their wedding cookie table!

Whether it’s color, patterns, plates, centerpieces, or a combination of everything, we love providing our services and vintage wares to our clients. One thing is certain – it’s loads of fun, too!

Tea Wedding Ceremony

Southern Vintage Table Events – The Perfect Blend of Tea and Love

Tea for two and two in love – Aoi and Travis – were married earlier this year in Clemmons, NC at the historic Providence Manor House. Featured in their lovely wedding was a traditional tea ceremony. Two teas, representing both families, were poured into a small teacup from which both sipped. This gesture “symbolize(s) harmony, purity and respect” as the couple embrace and join their new families. We love this tradition! (Tree Trunk)

Historic venues, such as Providence Manor, are a beautiful complement to our vintage collections. As you see in these romantic photographs courtesy of Amanda Sutton Photography, the couple selected our vintage place settings, including floral plates, gold-plated flatware, and colored goblets, for their reception tables. The personally designed centerpieces featured our handcrafted dried bottled bouquets, candleholders, and vintage pink votive holder. The vintage dresser mirrors and brass frames with the table numbers completed their vintage-inspired design.

Best wishes to you two, Aoi and Travis! We truly enjoyed meeting you and your family and wish you everything wonderful in your new lives together.

Scenes from SVT – Vintage All Lit Up!

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.”
Aaron Rose

Vintage colored glassware lit up with twinkle lights creates a rainbow of beauty. Not quite sure if they would make any difference with the shelves filled with plates and teacups, Taylor strung the lights across the back walls. Well, you can see for yourself how magical and enchanting everything appears.

This week we were working on an upcoming wedding, and after stacking the tall vintage coupes in wired racks and putting them out of the way in the back of the studio, we were struck by their beauty against the twinkle lights tucked in the shelving.

On the shelf or in front, these lights emanate the irresistible, extraordinary beauty of everything vintage.

Southern Vintage Table Events – Delighted Participant in the First Wedded Joyride

Sponsored by Triangle Corporate Coach, Heart of NC Weddings, and Raleigh Pop Balloons, the first Wedded Joyride took off.  An event bus tour of 5 local venues – The Parlour at Manns Chapel, The Barn of Chapel Hill, Union Grove Farm, Carriage House of Chapel Hill, and Rock Quarry Farm – this free bus ride traveled to each venue and couples were introduced to a host of wedding professionals that included caterers, photographers, rental companies, florists, planners, DJs, and stationery designers.

We were very fortunate to be invited by the Carriage House of Chapel Hill along with a cadre of top vendors – Julia Renee Photography, Brewmasters Mobile, Victoria Park Florist, Funky Fresh Catering, Sweet Water Ices, The Perfect Beat, City BBQ, Sheralyns, Bridal Haven, Crumbl Cookies, and BBJ La Tavola,

Although we could not personally attend, Brenda, owner of the Carriage House of Chapel Hill, visited our studio and we created several designs for the honored visitors. Of course, we adore these looks and hope the visitors thought so as well!

Thanks, Brenda, for the invitation to be a part of your venue showcase! Looking forward to returning to your gorgeous space!

Eleven vintage hand painted teacups have been on many adventures and now they have settled in at Southern Vintage Table. Gifted by the doctor who delivered my children and the mother of our client, these teacups carry much meaning for us.

Southern Vintage Table Sign

News – Southern Vintage Table’s Outdoor Sign is Up!

Southern Vintage Table’s sign is finally up on the front of the main building at Boone Square! Even though we’ve been here for more than a year, seeing it when we drive into the parking lot evokes a sense of accomplishment being part of this long-standing business community. Shout outs go to Laser Imaging, Lindsey, Jay, Sam, and Dink for helping us with this milestone.

During May and June we provided our vintage tableware services to 16 fabulous clients with their tea parties, engagement dinners, baby showers, and wedding receptions and it’s time to connect with friends, catch up with our favorite series, and maybe even read a book or two!

But, before we close out for today, here are just a few memories we have of our clients’ table designs and vintage selections from these past two months. What a delightful variety!
