Southern Vintage Table Events – Margot & Evan’s Romantic Spring Wedding at the Honeysuckle Tea House

On a sunlit spring day at the enchanting Honeysuckle Tea House, Margot and Evan celebrated their wedding with a tablescape that perfectly captured their romantic vision. Their design combined vintage charm with soft, graceful details, creating an atmosphere both welcoming and timeless. Guided by planner, Events by Rebs, with exquisite florals by Fireside Farm, and gorgeous photographs captured by Amy Ellis Photography, you can see that this wedding was truly special.

The tables featured a sweet pairing of vintage gold and cream plates adorned with delicate pink florals. At each place setting, vintage glass salad plates caught the light and shimmered over the dinner plates, adding a touch of sparkle. Pink goblets brought a gentle blush to the table, complemented by silverplate flatware. Brass candleholders, topped with light blue candles, cast a soft glow as the day turned to evening.

Thoughtful décor completed the look — table numbers nestled in vintage frames, while other frames displayed the guest lists and personal photographs, adding an intimate and personal touch. Bread baskets offered a rustic element, and the dessert table showcased our vintage cake stands and tiered stands, beautifully displaying their sweet treats.

Margot and Evan’s celebration was a lovely blend of spring romance, vintage elegance, and personal storytelling — a day as charming as the couple themselves.

Southern Vintage Table Events – Vintage Pastel Perfection

Jacey and Jack’s wedding day was everything we love about spring—fresh, joyful, and bursting with color! Set against the backdrop of blooming gardens at the Honeysuckle Teahouse and sunny skies, their celebration was an enchanting nod to the season of new beginnings.

The heart of their reception design was a trio of pastel color schemes, with each table dressed in one of three stunning hues: blush pink, powder blue, and buttery yellow. These soft palettes created a dreamy patchwork of springtime beauty across the venue.

To complement each table’s theme, we hand-selected vintage china with floral patterns and paired them with matching colored goblets—rosy pink, soft blue, and sunshine yellow. It was a painterly display of color and charm, inviting guests to sit, sip, and soak in the love all around.

The pink tables felt romantic and whimsical, the blue added a serene and elegant touch, and the yellow brought a warm, cheerful glow to the setting. Each table had its own personality, yet together they told one beautiful, cohesive story.

To ground these romantic pastels, Jacey and Jack added rustic wooden accents that brought warmth and texture to the design. Rolled white napkins were tucked into handcrafted wooden napkin rings, echoing the simplicity of nature. Centerpieces rested on round wooden charger-style plates, showcasing vibrant floral arrangements that looked as though they had just been gathered from the garden. Even the cake sat proudly atop a wooden stand, tying the theme together with rustic elegance.

It was a joy to help bring Jacey and Jack’s colorful vision to life. Their thoughtful details and joyful spirit made this spring wedding a day to remember—and one we won’t soon forget.

Here’s to the sweet newlyweds, whose love bloomed just like the season!

Let us help you set the perfect table for your love story.

News – A Mitford Tea, Part II – A Table Set for Storytelling

As we look through this second collection of images, we’re reminded of what made this tea so special—not just the beautiful dishes and thoughtfully steeped teas, but the shared love of a good story, a slower pace, and the joy of being together.

Thanks for coming back! If you’re feeling inspired to host your own “Mitford Tea,” we’d love to help you curate a table that feels like home. Photos courtesy of The Mitford Museum Facebook and Sarah Thomas, Museum Director.

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Playful Autumn Celebration at Windy Hill Farm

Last October, Windy Hill Farm set the scene for a magical celebration of love between two incredible women, Julia and Cecilia. With golden fields and vibrant fall foliage as their backdrop, their wedding was equal parts heartfelt, joyful, and delightfully unexpected.

The couple exchanged vows surrounded by the natural beauty of the farm, with the warm autumn light casting a romantic glow over the ceremony. As the evening unfolded, guests were treated to an unforgettable experience that reflected the couple’s fun-loving spirit and creative flair.

From a colorful bounce house that had both kids and adults laughing, to a mystical tarot reader offering glimpses into the future, every detail added a touch of magic. A charming ice cream cart kept everyone cool and delighted, while the beloved Poetry Fox penned personal poems for guests on the spot, proving poetry has no limits!

The celebration was a perfect blend of elegance, playfulness, and personal touches — a true reflection of the couple’s love and personality. Windy Hill Farm, with its sweeping views and rustic charm, couldn’t have been a more fitting venue for such a special day.

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Delightful & Vintage Bridal Tea Party

When love brings two families together, it’s a beautiful thing — and sometimes, it sparks the start of lifelong friendships, too. This past weekend, we had the pleasure of knowing that magic firsthand at a charming bridal tea party hosted by none other than the bride’s soon-to-be sister-in-law.

The afternoon’s menu was as delightful as the decor: classic tea sandwiches, cupcakes, and a rainbow of macarons that looked almost too pretty to eat.

The buffet tables were dressed in floral and pastel linens and layered with Southern Vintage Table’s collection of handcrafted tiered stands made from vintage plates, floral-patterned teacups, delicate china plates, tea pots, and gold dessert forks.

Fresh florals and a beautiful welcoming sign completed the setting, creating an atmosphere that felt both elegant and welcoming — just the right vibe for an afternoon of laughter, memory sharing, and heartfelt toasts

This bridal tea party wasn’t just a celebration of the bride — it was a celebration of family, friendship, and the kind of thoughtfulness that turns a simple afternoon into an unforgettable memory.

To the bride, the hostess, and all who gathered that day: thank you for reminding us how sweet new beginnings can be. Thank you, Ashley, for providing these wonderful photographs!

The tables were adorned with an exquisite mix of vintage white, cream, and gold-rimmed plates, paired with vibrant colored glassware that added a playful yet sophisticated touch. A beautiful blend of silverplate and gold flatware complemented the look, while clear vases and candleholders completed the tablescape. The congratulatory toast was made with vintage champagne coupes. The result? A kaleidoscope of colors and textures that perfectly reflected Katherine and Kent’s joyful, love-filled day.

Southern Vintage Table Event – A Charming Farm Wedding Full of Whimsy & Elegance

Windy Hill Farm provided a magical backdrop for the day—its serene landscapes and natural beauty perfectly complemented Patricia and Richard’s vision. The outdoor settings, bathed in the gentle glow of fall light, made for picture-perfect moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Working with Patricia and Richard was an experience we’ll always treasure. Their clear vision and genuine passion for creating a memorable celebration made our job incredibly rewarding. It was a collaborative journey filled with laughter, creativity, and a shared love for all things vintage and boho. We couldn’t have asked for a more delightful couple to partner with, and their wedding remains a highlight in our portfolio.

We wish you two a lifetime of happiness, and we’re so grateful to have been part of your beautiful story. And, thank you for this amazing review!

Unique, curated tablescapes for a memorable event! Shelly at Southern Vintage Table knows how to make any event unique and special. With an array of vintage tableware in varying styles and colors to choose from, you are sure to find the curated look you are hoping for. In the beginning stages of wedding planning, I was hoping to source my own dinner plates and colorful goblets because I love thrifting/collecting and learning about different vintage tableware, but I’m so glad I decided to rent from Shelly instead. Going to Southern Vintage Table’s office space/showroom is such a wonderful, novel experience. Shelly has all her inventory on display, organized by color and style (the goblets look like they’re glowing on the shelves!), and she encourages you to go through her items and mock up your own tablescape. Interacting with the vintage items in this distinctive way and getting to know Shelly better was a highlight in the wedding planning process. What was even better was seeing how the beautiful tableware (each with a story and history) I selected for my wedding come to life on the tables, seeing the ones I loved talking about the plates and goblets, eating and drinking and laughing together. Tableware can play an unexpectedly big role on a special day like a wedding and, for me and most of my guests, it certainly left a mark on our collective memory.

Southern Vintage Table Event – Macie and Byron’s Woodland Wedding

The fall color palette with browns, oranges, greens, and creams is perfect for a romantic vibe, especially in a natural setting like Timberlake Earth Sanctuary. This beautiful natural area was the perfect location for Macie and Byron’s sweet and intimate wedding.

Brown patterned vintage china plates, clear water and wine goblets, and silverplate flatware were chosen for each place setting for a touch of charm and elegance. Layered on top were sweet personal notes for each guest and petite bouquets tied with twine. The earthy fall vibe was major with vintage brass vases filled with dried florals and brass candleholders donned with taper candles in hues of fall colors. From these awesome photos by Zephyr Tide, we all can see that Macie and Byron’s cozy, intimate, woodland wedding was stunning!

Macie and Byron, thank you for trusting us with your special day! It was such a joy working with you two to create your beautiful, boho-inspired, natural vibe fall wedding and an honor to be part of such a unique and personal celebration! Best wishes for a wonderful life together!
