Vintage Colored Wine Goblets

News – Getting Back to Blogging!

Our blog and social media have gone dark this past month, which we didn’t intend to happen. Where have we been? We’ve been recovering from a total hip replacement. Instead of catching up on emails and correspondence, and completing small projects, we needed time to heal. This meant doing much of nothing but icing muscles, resting, and going to physical therapy. Thankfully, with the help of friends, family, and helper Keven, our business kept on track.

Now it’s time to get back into the groove of sharing! Today’s post is a continuation of Gab and Tucker’s vibrant wedding at the Carolina Grove but this time we are sharing our own photos. Because the clients wanted us to set the tables, we were able to see the final result and snap a few of the many cool place settings and details. Mixed vintage plates, water and wine goblets, flatware, and napkins – every table was vibrant and fun!

As we mixed the vintage plate collections for each table, it was the perfect opportunity to include some of our commemorative plates featuring places and people. How fun are these, especially the Morehead Planetarium plate?

Along with vintage colored water and wine goblets, Gab and Tucker wanted to offer a variety of colored coupes for champagne and tumblers for mixed drinks. Since dessert was a frozen dish, our vintage berry dishes fit the menu perfectly.

We hope our photos show how much we enjoyed providing these vintage treasures for Gab and Tucker’s wedding. Many folks will fondly remember this celebration, including us!

Southern Vintage Table – A Rooftop Vintage Wedding

What a beautiful vista – on the rooftop at the Durham Hotel! Meg and Peter chose this unique setting for their April wedding and what a lovely view on this memorable day!

With these gorgeous photos taken by Jo Lindsay Co., we get to experience this special day. After the outdoor wedding ceremony, the guests enjoyed their meal with our vintage plates and green goblets. The florals and greenery by Bowerbird Flowers beautifully enhanced their fresh green vision.

Meg and Peter exude happiness in this classic cake photo! Seeing these yummy creations by Durham’s Mad Hatter Bakery on our vintage cake stands make us very happy, too!

Meg and Peter, best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together! We sincerely appreciate being a part of your wedding team and especially enjoyed meeting you two. Bravo for a beautiful, fun day!

Speaking of happiness, we love your wonderful review on Wedding Wire of our vintage wares and services! Merci!

Amazing & Unique Wedding Vendor!! Southern Vintage was absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough good things about them! Every item we rented from them was perfect and all our guests could not stop talking about how unique and gorgeous how it all looked together. We rented plates, cups and cake stands and each item added such a perfect level of details (and at such a reasonable cost!) 

I loved everything so much that I would love to find another reason to rent stuff from them again 🙂

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!

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.

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!

Southern Vintage Table Events – Timeless Blue and White for Kelsey and Ben

When Kelsey and Ben’s wedding day arrived, it was raining. The Carriage House has an awesome open barn but much of the festivities were to be held outside, including the ceremony. When we finished setting the tables with our vintage blue and white plates, blue goblets, and silver-plate flatware, it was still raining and arrangements were being made to move everything inside.

Of course, after this decision was made, the sky opened up just in time.

The tables looked fabulous, but the dessert and coffee tables were showstoppers! The cake table, covered with the bride’s grandmother’s lace overlay, presents these beautiful cakes that were made by the bride’s aunt. Placed on our cake stands, don’t they look delicious?

Congratulations, Kelsey and Ben, and best wishes! Everything turned out wonderfully and we always thought a rainy wedding day will create lasting memories. But, it also means good luck in your marriage.

“…a knot that becomes wet is extremely hard to untie – therefore, when you “tie the knot” on a rainy day, your marriage is supposedly just as hard to unravel!” How terrific is that!
