We are thrilled to announce that Southern Vintage Table has been honored with both the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award 2025 and The Knot Best of Weddings 2025! 🎉
This incredible recognition is a testament to the wonderful couples we’ve had the joy of serving and the unforgettable vintage charm we bring to weddings across North Carolina. We are beyond grateful for your trust, kind words, and support—it truly means the world to us!
Thank you for making Southern Vintage Table part of your special moments. Here’s to another year of creating beautiful, timeless celebrations!
The Downtown Raleigh Home Garden Show serves as a gathering spot for home enthusiasts, designers, and folks who love to entertain. Amongst all the terrific vendors and exhibitors will be Booth 1233. Here you’ll find a unique take on classic table settings for special occasions. Our two submissions, a dinner party tablescape and a charming tea gathering, offer inspiration for those seeking to elevate their entertaining game.
Setting the stage for the perfect tablescape isn’t just about arranging plates and napkins—it’s about telling a story, creating an atmosphere, and curating every detail so that everything feels just right. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at some of the elements pulled together for both designs.
Stop by Booth 1233 and let these vintage designs spark your own creativity, providing ideas for your next gathering or event. And, most importantly, enjoy the art of hosting in a way that honors the elegance of the past while celebrating the joy of gathering with friends and loved ones.

Oh, 2024, you have brought us much joy through the lovely clients and vendors we have met and worked alongside. We are getting ready for you, 2025, filling ourselves with hope and optimism.
Getting ready for the holidays? We have just begun at home and have pulled out some of most treasured decorations collected years ago. On the dining table are some of our nesting “dolls”. They are so fun to open to find the smaller ones inside. The greenery came from the back yard.
Below is the mantle-scape which features a collection of vintage cats, crates, trays, books, and thrift-store petite trees. The tall wooden kitty in the middle is very special – it was an 18th birthday gift from my boyfriend who is now my husband. (He hit the mark on this one and we are definitely vintage!)
We also played around with a couple of holiday tablescapes at the studio. The green and deep red layering of plates are a nod to the holiday colors but with a bit of vintage swag. Our favorite decor items are the little trees that are nestled in the vintage milk glass vases but we think the grass chargers are not needed after all. Too bad we didn’t get that photo!
That’s it for today’s post! We need to dig out a few more holiday decorations, go online to do a little shopping, attend a dinner party with friends, and meet with two potential clients this week. Just the right amount of busy for us!

Ready for a magical stroll through the main room of Southern Vintage Table’s studio? There’s lots to see!
Here’s your first look past the front space – two tables, one rectangular and round, which clients use to design their vintage tablescapes. To the right of the door is this beautiful display of colored glass, vintage floral artwork, and two vintage chairs. We love this view1
Hidden in the corner at the front is a door to a secret little closet. Now filled with bins of teacups and saucers, tiered stands, creamers and sugars, this small space holds a lot of cool stuff.
Across the vintage colored glass shelves is this sweet vintage desk. It belonged to my brother and we love its presence here. Poised on top is a wonderful vintage typewriter, aluminum hammered tray, and desk rack holding magazines in which you’ll find us mentioned!
On the side walls our vintage colored goblets glow and twinkle under fairy lights. Our inventory is quite extensive!
Moving to the back of the room are shelves and shelves of vintage plates, clear goblets, teapots, and teacups. Our vintage plate collection includes blue and white, white stoneware, gold on cream/white, red and white, bold florals and browns, retro, wildflower stoneware, and delicate botanicals in greens, pinks, purples, yellows, and blues.
On the top shelves we have vintage blue decor, various sizes of white pitchers, dessert and cake stands, punch bowls, decanters, pitchers, and coffee pots, some of which you can see here.
Our stroll is over for the main room. We’ve accomplished a lot with Sarah and Elizabeth’s help and the organizational fun continues here in the main room as well as the linen and decor rooms. Hosting an Open House is the goal and hoping by late winter or early spring we’ll be ready!
Come see us by completing the Contact form and we’ll set an appointment date for you to browse our vintage collections. It’s truly magical in here!
Our blog is on vacation but we have one breathtaking photo from Jump Off Rock in Laurel Park, just outside of Hendersonville. Our son took us there at sunset and we stood there for a while, taking in its natural beauty.
This spot is a popular place for visitors. According to Romantic Asheville, the story behind the name goes like this.
It’s certainly a romantic view, complete with a tragic legend of a young Cherokee Indian maiden receiving word that her young Indian chief had been killed in battle. So she climbed to the edge of the rock and jumped off. On moonlit nights you can supposedly see her ghost on rock.
We have more places to visit, including hitting as many ice cream parlors as we can on The Hendersonville Ice Cream Trail. So far we have enjoyed delicious scoops from 4 of the 11 featured in a recent Our State Magazine. With only two more days, we’re pretty sure we won’t get to all of the remaining seven but we’ll give it our best! So far, Celtic Creamery is at the top of the list!
We have been meeting with some amazingly creative clients who are planning their weddings, showers, tea parties, and dinners. Looking forward to seeing how their designs unfold at each of their happy celebrations!
Wanting to show the range of looks with our vintage tableware and decor, we have created a slide show for our home page. You can see it here and on our home page, too! (Working on resizing this on mobile devices.)
