Flowers from Fernrock Farm

Southern Vintage Table Events – Floral Fiesta for Farmers, Florists, & Friends


“Join us for an informal poolside gathering to celebrate the end of summer with snacks, local cider from Botanist and Barrel, and other libations. Here’s a chance to make some new connections within our amazing flower community. Hope you can stop by!”


It’s not every day you are given a invitation to meet like-minded folks, find inspiration, get advice, and build your business connections. And, with the offer of food and libations, it’s a golden opportunity!

Carrie, owner of Fernrock Farm, hosted this gathering and asked Southern Vintage Table to help with the tablescape, serving dishes, and glassware. With yellows, browns, and teals as the core color schema, we choose vintage tablecloths, wood serving pieces, and vintage retro plates. Individual vintage compotes and bowls were filled with fruit salad as well as hummus and chips. Once the dishes were filled with cheese, crackers, sandwiches, cookies, and nuts, the floral fiesta began!

We all had a fantastic time at the floral fiesta for farmers, florists, and friends, snacking on delicious treats and chatting about our businesses, ourselves, and our future collaborations. Thanks, Carrie, for bringing us all together for a fun evening!

I really enjoyed meeting everyone and the chance to have a much needed night out with kindred spirits! 
I left inspired and re-invigorated to take my own business to the next level and source more supplies and services locally among fellow vendors.

Southern Vintage Table Events – Happy Blues at the Carolina Inn

Last week’s blog showcased Katherine and Colby’s wedding at the Parlour at Mann’s Chapel where the couple used our vintage light blue goblets. They looked so lovely on their tables!

This week we have photos, courtesy of Alaina Ronquillo Photography, from Madeline and Josh’s wedding held at The Carolina Inn. On their reception tables were our vintage blue and white plates in alternating mostly blues and mostly whites. We loved how it all came together, thanks to the careful planning and guidance of Ashley Murray, owner of Charming Carolina Events and Weddings. Bravo!

Congrats, Madeline and Josh, and thanks for including us in your happy Carolina Blue wedding!

Vintage Blue Goblets on Reception Table

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Splendid September Day for a Wedding

We distinctly recall this day – it was one of our first glorious September days in North Carolina and it was Katherine and Colby’s wedding day. After several reschedules in 2020 through 2021 due to health safety concerns, outdoor gatherings started opening up. And, if we might speculate, this absolutely perfect day was meant to be for them and their guests.

Our contributions to their tables were our beautiful light blue vintage goblets which adorned each place setting. The color of the sky and sea, light blue signifies trust, loyalty, and sincerety and they sparkle with joy down the tables. As you can see in the details shot below, we also provided our vintage blue and white dessert plates.

Held at the amazing historic Parlour at Manns Chapel with their lush landscape of flowers and greenery, Radian Photography‘s images capture their story. We mostlyhave included those that feature our pieces, but trust us, the gallery is as glorious as the day.

A beautiful day, venue, and couple. Thank you, Katherine and Colby, for allowing us to be a part of this long-overdue celebration!

I wanted to share these images with you from my bridal shower.
Thanks to you, it was beyond beautiful!!
– Dana


Yes, indeed, pouring tea, eating a medley of sweet and savory, and chatting with best friends before your wedding day has to be on the list of meaningful ways to celebrate your upcoming nuptials. These photos come courtesy of Dana, the bride-to-be, who was so pleased when she arrived at her mother’s home. Her mother, Andrea, knew Dana would love this experience so she visited the studio to pull together these lovely, vintage tea party pieces.

Dana, we think it’s beautiful, too! Bravo, Andrea!

See ya’ll this weekend when we deliver and set your beautiful vintage reception tables. Sooooo looking forward to it!

Styled Shoot – More of the Patriotic Shoot at The Old Cotton Gin

Hey there! We are back from our blogging break and also back to this uniquely styled shoot sponsored by ElopeNC. Several posts ago we shared a few of Wendy Jade Photography‘s photos taken in this cool, historic building in Warrenton, NC. You may want to skip back to see and read this post, A Quick See with More to Come.

Designer Meagan of Magnolia Collective created several different looks using our vintage blue & white, red & white, and floral plates. These were accompanied by our vintage goblets, silver-plate flatware, and assortment of colorful napkins with wooden napkin rings. Vintage decor also adorned the tables – books, teacups, wooden candleholders, and blue & white vases. Finally, you’ll also notice the small compotes filled with strawberries and berries – the perfect fresh touch to this colorful tablescape!

Check out ElopeNC’s blog post, “Vintage Patriotic Summer Elopement @The Old Cotton Gin.” Many of the vendors provide their insights and thoughts about being a part of this lovely shoot.

Styled Shoot: A Quick See with More to Come

We had a great surprise in our email yesterday – the photo gallery from an Elope NC styled shoot that was only 2 days ago! Now that’s an amazing turnaround from Wendy Jade Photography!

The venue for the shoot was The Old Cotton Gin, a charming historic venue in Warrenton. The property includes three structures – The Old Cotton Gin, The Seed House, and The Franklin Street House. Be sure to check out this unique venue!

Organized by ElopeNC and planned by Meagan of Magnolia Collective, this styled shoot was fresh look on the classic red, white, and blue theme. Shown below are a few photos, with a focus on our vintage contributions, to give you a taste of what the day was like. We plan to followup on a few more next week!

Southern Vintage Table Events – Large to Small, We Love to Do it All!

We love sharing our vintage tableware for anything and everything! From over 200 guests to 4, we will provide our rentals for any size gathering. Today’s post is about the smaller, more intimate affairs that are elevated with the beauty of vintage. Photos were sent to us by our clients and we are so pleased to show you!

This first set of photos are from a post-Covid family reunion. Our client, Betsy, organized the table settings from afar and visited the shop days before to select the goblets. With her gorgeous arrangements and our vintage goblets and flatware, the tables were inviting for her family.

Every birthday is special but your mother’s 80th is a humongous milestone! Yvette even went further when she planned the celebration for her mother – family members came in from out-of-state to surprise the guest of honor. So sweet!

The third set of photos is from our winner of the Tea Party To Go contest. The guests had two reasons to celebrate – a birthday for the winner, Robin, and the end of chemo treatment for one of her guests. Every day is a good day to have tea, and this one certainly was.

Three wonderful events, three celebrations, and three ways to beautifully incorporate vintage.

Vintage Retro Reception Table

Styled Shoot – Embracing the Vibrant Colors of Love in Green Wedding Guild’s Challenge

Vibrant, vivid, and love-filled describes this styled shoot from the Green Wedding Guild‘s 2021 Green Wedding Challenge at the Bill Scott Pavilion. Designed by Emily Katherine Events and photographed by Raven Shutley Studios, this shoot is uniquely beautiful.

Our vintage bold retro dinner plates, bright colored goblets, woven placemats, and teal napkins were key to Emily’s design; however, the potted plants, faux florals by Silk Stem Collective and Emily Ruth Print‘s table number added yet another original layer to the eclectic look.

Extra touches such as our vintage-styled cigar box, petite vintage green glass covered tray, and colorful vintage tins brought additional boldness. We absolutely adore Happily Desserted‘s multilayered cake on the dessert table with more of our vintage decor.

Bravo to all of the vendors who were part of this creative shoot! As displayed in the neon sign, “It’s you. It’s me. It’s us.” Words we all love to hear!

Southern Vintage Table Event – A Blissfully Blue Wedding at The Parlour

Oh, happy day for Taylor and Larry at The Parlour at Mann’s Chapel. Exquisitely designed and orchestrated by Whitney Davis and splendidly captured by Krystal Kast Photography, this blissfully blue wedding day is stunning in every way.

The first celebration for the couple following the ceremony is cocktail time. We love Cottage Lux’s totally chic bar stocked with our vintage goblets and coupes. Mingling with one in your hands has a wonderfully festive feel, don’t you think?

The combination of talent, wares, and time created this extraordinary wedding! Be sure to note the incredible team of vendors below along with their contributions. Thank you, Whitney and Krystal, for providing this listing and photos for everyone to share.

Congratulations, Taylor and Larry! Your blissfully blue wedding day will be fondly remembered by so many – guests and vendors alike. Wishing ya’ll the best of everything!
