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!

Scenes from SVT – Planning the Perfect Pink Vintage Tablescape

Amanda was positively tickled pink as she dreamed up her enchanting tablescape. With a palette of rosy hues and elegant touches, the final look was a vision of vintage charm. Dainty pink florals danced across the table, paired perfectly with gold-rimmed white plates and an array of pink goblets in varying shades—because when it comes to pink, more is more! Coordinating salad plates along with vintage gold flatware will complete her romantic theme.

The dessert table was just as delightful, featuring two-tiered stands for sweet treats, a petite pink bowl at each table for sweet goodies, three pink floral platters for sharing, and a pink-tinged cake stand ready for the grand finale. It was a setting fit for a queen—or at least for a fabulously blushing bride-to-be.

Every detail spoke of Amanda’s joy and vision—sweet, stylish, and oh-so-pink. It was more than a table setting; it was a celebration of her personality, brought to life through vintage charm and thoughtful touches. Proof that when you follow your heart (and your favorite color), the result is simply unforgettable.

News – Taking a June Pause…

We’re pressing pause on the blog for the month of June to tend to some personal joys—organizing the studio, sprucing up our space, working outside, and yes, even indulging in a favorite childhood pastime: searching for four-leaf clovers. 🌱 (Do you see one in the above photo?)

This little break is our way of slowing down, finding inspiration in the simple things, and letting creativity bloom again.

We’ll be back with fresh stories and vintage charm on July 6. Until then, may your days be filled with sunshine, sweet memories, and maybe even a little luck.

Warmly,
Southern Vintage Table

Vintage Tablescapes in Purple, Amber, and Green

News – Designing Vintage Tablescapes for 2024 Weddings

Before we close out our year, we are already looking toward next year. Today we will introduce you to several of our clients and show you their vintage tablescape designs. What do they have in common? Of course, the pieces are all vintage but also, they all have embraced color for their reception tables. These are weddings to take place in 2024 and, as always, we look forward to selecting their vintage pieces for their celebration.

Let us present two creative writers who met in school and now are getting married! Their design is super fun – table color schemes in brown, green, teal blue, yellow, and purple. It’s going to be a wonderful, vibrant celebration! (And, we got to slip in a slide show for you!)

This couple loves color and texture! With the various patterns of the vintage wildflower stoneware, they added colored goblets and patterned napkins. Our green and amber peg votives down the center will add another layer of glitz. This is certain to delight their guests!

When you can’t attend the meeting to design your reception tables, who do you call? Your parents, of course! These two visited the studio, perused our collections, and designed a blue themed tablescape for their daughter. We think she’ll like their vision!

Lastly, our client and her mother fell in love with the combination of blues and gold for their tablescape. They really loved trying various options and the different hues of our vintage blue goblets will be stunning!

What’s left for us this year? We have one return this week from a birthday tea party and at least one more client visit. As with any business, there’s always much to be done behind the scenes and we’l appreciate having a bit of time to tackle these tasks. Enjoy your week!

Southern Vintage Table Events -Skylar and Kyle’s Vintage Fall Wedding

A fall wedding is magical here in North Carolina. The milder weather, the brilliant landscape, and the cozy, romantic atmosphere are alluring reasons to celebrate a wedding in autumn. Skylar and Kyle embraced fall’s beautiful color palette for their enchanting nuptials with amber, green, and coppery orange with pops of blues. Take note of their color profile as revealed in Kendal Bailey’s photos.

We were delighted to help Skylar and sister Amber design the reception tables. They devised a schema per table with vintage amber and green goblets and a mix of green, blue, and gold rimmed vintage plates. She also chose our vintage stainless flatware, dessert serving pieces, and clear pitchers. With the greenery sweeping down the center of the tables and the twinkling candlelight, the result was so romantic!

Bravo, Skylar and Kyle! We heard that your wedding day was beautiful and sweet, filled with many wonderful memories for everyone. May your love be with you forever!

News – Our Latest Vintage Additions, Eclectic Vases & Planters, and a Bit More

Time to catch you up on our news at Southern Vintage Table! We’ve got new vintage inventory and we are also showcasing our collection of vintage and handcrafted vases and planters.

Slowly we are building a collection of vintage items featuring orange. These three ginger jars are stunning and can be filled with florals or used as decor. Their vibrancy is delightful! We also have a few candy dishes that beautifully complement this colorful look.

Here are two vintage sets of goblets we have recently added. Currently we have the Diamond Point pattern in clear, green, amber, and now pink! We’d love to find the blue and black ones at some point. The set of Flaming Orange Pebble Beach midcentury goblets are incredible! We haven’t seen this pattern and now we have 8 of these to offer our clients. The hunt is on for the other colors – lemon twist, pink lady, black pearl, mocha, and crystal ice.

Diamond Point by Indiana Glass and Pebble Beach by Fostoria

Three new vintage dinner plate patterns have been added to different collections – green & white, midcentury retro, and elegant florals. All different but oh-so cool!

Tulane Commemorative by Wedgwood, Tanglewood Brown by Royal (USA), Pinecone by Lifetime China

Lastly, we have a design suggestion for those brave clients who crave the unexpected! Our collection of both vintage and handcrafted vases and planters is growing and we’d love for someone to embrace them in their tablescape design.

(Disclaimer – these are all faux flowers and arranged a bit haphazardly. Imagine if you used fresh florals!)

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Rainy Day Wedding Brings Sweet Memories

We’d guess that no couple wishes for a rainy day wedding, but hey, it happens. And, there are reasons to embrace the raindrops! Folklore says rain signifies a lasting marriage with fresh beginnings. For certain, the newlywed and guests probably will remember this day quite fondly, especially with the amazing rain photos!

Heather and Paul’s rainy wedding day was gorgeous and joyous, as captured by MKM Photography. Rain or shine, the Chapel Hill Carriage House offers both beautiful grounds and an open, covered pavilion so the ceremony easily was moved inside, as shown in a photo below.

The vintage reception tables were both fun and enchanting! The couple chose vintage wildflower stoneware and goblets in greens, blues, and amber, vintage stainless flatware, and dessert plates. This bold blend of colors was a winning combination for this misty day.

Bravo, Heather and Paul! We enjoyed being a part of your wedding day and are especially grateful to Paul for picking up and returning the rentals as we continue to recover from our hip surgery. Be sure to visit MKM’s blog post to read and see more about this gala event!

Southern Vintage Events – Hosting a Vintage Tea Party

Think hosting a tea party is beyond your comfort zone? Well, wipe that notion from your mind because we are here to help you through every step of the way.

Here’s Madison. When she came in to our studio last year to plan her reception tables, she took note of our extensive collection of vintage teacups and told us that one day she wanted to have a tea party. The perfect opportunity came up when she offered to host a baby shower tea party for a dear friend. Yay!

After selecting the tea cups, she then matched them with salad-size plates. Next came teapots, tiered stands, curd bowls, goblets, napkins, and gold flatware. Notice the teeny spoons in the teacups? They are demitasse spoons and perfectly sized. Finally, Madison chose vintage clear goblets to complete her place settings. We also had two vintage pink tablecloths that became the first layer of her tablescape. Now, see how beautiful everything turned ou!

Ready to be inspired? We’ll help you get everything you need for your guests to enjoy this long cherished social gathering!
