Vintage Feature – Mixing & Matching with Bakelite Flatware

Vintage Flatware Rental NC

We have been gathering pieces of a “new” vintage flatware style – vintage Bakelite (and similar) – and nearly a hundred knives and dinner forks are now available to mix with our vintage stainless and silver-plated collections. With colors ranging from white, cream, butterscotch, and cocoa, they blend in nicely with most color palettes.

No doubt, patterns from our vintage casual china collection are perfect companions with our vintage stainless flatware, but when a piece or two of the Bakelite is added, the look is taken to a new level of awesomeness. We absolutely love it! Originally we didn’t think elegant silver-plated flatware was a good fit with Bakelite, but, ding-dong, we were so wrong!  It also looks fantastic!

Take a peek at samples of our collection and how they look alongside the stainless and silver-plated pieces. We think you’ll be smitten with this new vintage look, too!

Vintage Feature – What’s Your Vintage Style?

Vintage has been trending for some time now and we think it’s here to stay.  Reasons why? It’s extremely versatile – from elegant to rustic and everything between. Ready to embrace vintage for your occasion? By no means are these the only vintage styles to consider but here are 5 to get you started.


1 – Vintage Elegant Style – Elegant can be elaborate or simple, but most will incorporate florals, gold or silver touches, on a creamy or white background.  A mix of silver-plated flatware accompanies elegant place settings beautifully along with vintage goblets, either colored or clear.

2 – Vintage Blue and White Style – This is a classic look everyone loves. The dark blue against white is striking and anchors the place settings on the table. You can dress it up with silver-plated flatware or keep it more casual with an eclectic mix of stainless. Slip in some vintage bakelite pieces with the stainless to add even more interest. Depending on your color scheme, add either colored or clear goblets.

3 – Vintage White Style – White is crisp, clean, and ready to dress up with colored napkins, goblets, tablecloths, or be placed on a bare farm table. This is the perfect choice if you want basic white but also are looking for something more than identical place settings. Add either silver-plated or stainless flatware, perhaps even with a mix of bakelite pieces. Keep it clean with clear goblets or make it pop with an array of colored goblets.

4 – Bold MidCentury Style – Thinking about a boho or bold look?  This style of vintage dinnerware is the ticket. The colors range from orange/yellow/brown range to blue/green with geometric, bold designs. Matching colored goblets give each place setting a put-together look. Add casual napkins and stainless or silver plated flatware with perhaps a mix of bakelite and you have a colorful, fun table for your guests.

5 – Vintage Stoneware Style – The 80s come alive with this variety of floral dinner plates. Having a rustic, barn, and outdoor wedding or event?  Consider incorporating these quaint designs and see how these similar yet different patterns lined up on the table is truly delightful!  Stainless flatware, possibly mixed with some bakelite pieces, along with colored goblets, especially amber, green and brown, are the perfect complement for this casual, hip look.

Southern Vintage Table Event – Bohemian Shoot Now Featured on Love Inc!

Southern Vintage Table Vintage China Rental

Two for one!  Can’t get enough of a good thing!  Our cup runneth over!   All of these cliches are perfect for last September’s bohemian photo shoot at 1870 Farm, designed by HoneyBee Mine Events. Here’s the scoop – two terrifically talented photographers were part of the shoot – DHS Photography and Red Bridge Photography.  Both of them submitted their photos to separate wedding blogs and both of them got published!  How wonderful is that?

As you remember, DHS Photography‘s photos were showcased on Knotsvilla (“Vintage Bohemian Inspiration) back in October as well as our blog, “Love, Love, Boho Love” but today’s spotlight belongs to Red Bridge Photography.

Last week Rebecca  got the fantastic news that we are now up on the prestigious wedding magazine, Love Inc, in the feature, “Bright Bohemian Rustic Wedding Inspiration from North Carolina.”  Because there are soooo many glorious shots, we are sharing just a few of our favorites from Red Bridge Photography that you won’t find on Love Inc . The article portrays the entire photo shoot story so be sure to treat yourself!  (Pssst – the gallery closes with a fun, amazing shot that you don’t want to miss!)

Southern Vintage Table’s  contribution to the shoot were the mixed and matched plates at the reception table. Don’t they look amazing?  We’ll be sharing these on our social media but there’s so much more to this feature.  Head over to the online article and see some gorgeous floral arrangements, a stunning chandelier, and, of course, the backdrop of the spectacular Greenbrier resort.  Oh yeah, there’s a fun behind-the-scenes video at the end of the article you don’t want to miss and a list of the incredible vendors who put this all together.

Southern Vintage Table Event – “Chapel Charm” Reveal

Photo by Landon Jacob Photography

Today is it! We are revealing some of the photos from a gorgeous feature in this year’s edition of Southern Weddings.  If you recall, a few blog posts ago (SVT Events – We Are Featured in Southern Weddings Magazine-Twice!) we spilled the beans on our inclusion in this lovely publication but we needed to wait a bit before sharing. Well, the wait is over for the first of the two articles, “Southern Weddings V9: Chapel Charm,” with these photos by Landon Jacob Photography.

Photo by Landon Jacob Photography

Our contributions to this shoot were our three vintage punch bowls, an eclectic mix of punch cups, pink enameled baby tub, and milk glass compote.  As you can see, the creative styling talents of Mallory Joyce, the Southern Weddings‘ crew and Landon Jacob Photography shine brilliantly –  the melding of soft pinks and pastels, the floral arrangements by Mallory Joyce, Paisley & Jade‘s vintage furniture, and other assorted details, all set at historical The Parlour at Manns Chapel.

Southern Vintage Table Event – Styling Beautiful Table Settings at TSOS

Photo by Ally and Bobby Photography

This summer I received a marvelous invitation from Kelly Hovis, Brand Relations Manager of The School of Styling. She asked us if we wanted to help with an October TSOS workshop at The Parlour at Manns Chapel in Chapel Hill, NC.  During one of their sessions, she explained, the attendees would be learning creative ways to style a table setting and she thought our rich collection of vintage wares would perfect to offer them. If you are familiar with this creative business, you’d understand that this was an invitation we couldn’t refuse!

So the attendees would have a wide selection of vintage looks. we pulled together a variety of dinner, salad, and dessert plates along with our clear and colored glassware. In addition, settings from our silver-plate and stainless flatware were packed up and delivered. With the eclectic collection of wares, we eagerly waited to see the creative place settings the attendees would design. Please enjoy these photos by Ally & Bobby Photography. As you can see for yourself, we are quite impressed with their handiwork!
