Scenes from SVT – Four Couples, Four Fabulous Vintage Tablescape Designs

Today we have four great vintage designs from four clients! The first couple styled a wonderful take on the classic blue and white. Notice the layout – mostly blue dinner and mostly white salad in the center and then mostly white paired with a colorful floral salad on either side. Vintage blue, orange, and amber goblets and mixed napkin patterns enhance this colorful tablescape. Finally, their vintage table decor will include brass candleholders with peg votives, vintage books, and table numbers in vintage frames. Jenny and Andy’s spectacular wedding is set for this October at the Parlour at Mann’s Chapel.


Our next couple, Anna and Garrick, have another unique take on vintage. They have combined vintage retro green dinner plates with crisp white and gold china plates, a mix of gold and stainless flatware, and vintage brown and dusky blue goblets. Both love vintage and will be incorporating a bunch of cool decor items – a vintage sewing machine and a pair of scissors (Anna is a seamstress!), telephone, bird cages, black-framed mirror and window panes, brass candleholders, and brass vases. We look forward to their wedding next March in Madison, NC!


Here are Anna and Matt and their design demonstrates that vintage can be elegant, quiet, and beautiful. They have chosen vintage white stoneware, clear salad plates, and clear patterned goblets. The silverplated flatware completes this lovely tablescape. (Their venue, Lavendar Oaks, will be providing wooden chargers so we used our wooden plates to imagine how everything will look on a white tablecloth, just in case you wondered.) These two will be married next June!


Another colorful splash of vintage will be coming to Savannah and Andrew’s wedding next October at the Carriage House of Chapel Hill. Their vintage look includes a mix of brown patterned plates with large florals. Amber, pink, green, and purple goblets and mixed patterned napkins add more fabulousness to their reception tables. We love how much these two loved their final design!

Four couples with four vintage designs getting married at four venues – your vision, creativeness, and imaginativeness continue to inspire us!

Scenes from SVT – Creative Client Vintage Tablescape Designs

The fall wedding season is here and our latest visitors have had fun visualizing their reception tables. Everyone loved the vintage colored goblets and you’ll see them in each of the following designs; however, each has their own unique combination. Here are 5 happy, smiling clients with their vintage tablescapes!

Let’s start with Amy and Nathan who will be getting married this month at the beautiful Carolina Grove. This fun couple set their table with a mix of floral china patterns and added a set of cool colored vintage goblets. With a mix of green napkins, their tables will dazzle their guests!


Edna, who will marry Douglas this month at The Cloth Mill, was looking to create a peaceful feeling for her tables. With help from her planner, Lorne of Carter Creations, the design emerged. The vintage plates are a mix of white stoneware and white/cream plates with gold. The vintage goblets will be a mix of dusky blue, light blue, and clear. Green napkins will enhance the peaceful feeling. This combination of blue and green is one of our favorites!


Lily visited the studio with her mother to create a romantic look for her wedding to Caden at The Cornealius Properties in Goldsboro next March. She chose vintage plates from our gold white/cream collection and then layered them with colorful salad plates. The array of vintage colored goblets are beautiful with the place settings. This romantic, sweet tablescape will be stunning!


Joined by her mother, Sydney wanted to design a fall-themed tablescape for her wedding to Kayden next month at the Barn of Valhalla. Vintage brown and white plates along with amber goblets are classic fall colors and mixed in are lovely vintage plates featuring green. This design will look stunning with brass candleholders with clear peg votives along with a vignette of petite brass vases on each table. We think this will be amazing!


Lastly, here’s Sydney. She’s selecting teacups and coordinating salad plates for her own birthday tea party. Isn’t that amazing! She gifted herself a tea party to celebrate with close friends on her 21st birthday. We heard it was totally fun!


Five clients and 5 different looks with vintage tableware. The process is always fun and we totally love seeing their smiles when their tablescape design is realized. But, we have more to share – next week we’ll have 4 more clients to showcase!

Southern Vintage Table Events – Something Blue Wedding Shower

We had the extreme pleasure to help Kortney with a wedding shower she hosted for her sister-in-law, Autumn and beau, Elisha. To say that Kortney is a talented designer states the obvious and we’ve seen her marvelous design skills on another occasion – her own Baby Reveal Party held in 2020. She’s a natural!

This shower revolves around the color blue for a couple of reasons – to honor the adage “something blue” and blue is the color Elisha sees best. With vintage blue and white dishes, blue goblets, blue and white teacups, and two tiered stands the table looks spectacular. Kortney filled the vintage silver teapot and milk glass vases with stunning bouquets, and filled our blue and white heart dishes with her speciality sugar cubes. How adorable!

Congratulations, Autumn and Elisha! We truly enjoyed viewing the photos shared by Kortney – they beautifully portray your love and joyfulness!

There’s so much more to discover about this lovely gathering. Go to Kortney’s blog, Garden Brunch Wedding Party in which she shares both Autumn’s and her own perspective on the event, followed by more from the gallery of photos.

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Wedding at Two Silos

We all enjoy a sweet love story and today’s couple, Savannah and Sam, especially embody this sentiment. The two come from farming families in eastern NC and grew up on opposite ends of the same road.

Early on they became friends, dated in middle school, and then as high school seniors. Several years later, with their lasting love, they married at Sam’s property that had two silos on the former dairy farm, once owned by another family. After a year of restoration, the wedding site was ready.

The reception was held under a tent at the farm. Our vintage colored goblets and floral plates “tied it all together, ” remarked Savannah. We are so pleased to have provided these for their celebration.

Well done, Savannah and Sam! Your gallery of beautiful photos was so fun to browse and we almost feel like we were there, celebrating along with you and your many friends and family members. Best wishes for a wonderful life together!

Southern Vintage Table Event – A Family Reunion-Gundie Style

It happens every 3 years – The Gunderson + Spencer Family Reunion. The call went out to grandparents, sisters, brothers, children, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and more. Organizers Mary and Ralph hosted family members from ages 2 to 87, and they came from 7 states plus Malaysia, with a total of 37 adults and 6 children.

The weekend of family time kicked off at the White House on Washington in Mebane. Mary chose vintage blue and white china and light blue goblets for the tables along with grass chargers. She filled complementary blue and white vases with bright yellow florals and the delicious dinner meal was catered by Southern Harvest. It was a grand success!

Saturday was full of choices for the group. Swimming, golf, and sight-seeing were enjoyed with the evening spent at Mary and Ralph’s home. Following a cookout, the crowd was entertained by family band members with dancing and more time to reconnect!

Bravo, Gundersons and Stewarts! Many wonderful memories were created this weekend and we applaud the commitment your extended family has made to spending quality time together.

“Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful.
It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.”

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Glorious Day for Cortney and Christian

On this perfect June day, Cortney and Cameron were wed under the trees at Oxford’s Highrock Farm with family and friends present. Every facet of Cortney and Cameron’s wedding was breathtaking – the scenic view, the gorgeous venue, and beautiful vintage blue tablescapes. These exquisite photos by Madison Snedker Photography tell it all!

Cortney’s vintage design included vintage gold and white plates paired with soft blue china patterns. She mixed the vintage dusky and light blue goblets and added vintage gold flatware and the table numbers in vintage frames. We love how the vintage blue goblets twinkle on the tables!

Cortney and Cameron, your wedding was spectacular! We loved working with you and appreciated your kindness and joyful spirits. Best wishes for a loving life together!

Vintage Pink and Blue Tablescapes

Southern Vintage Table Events – An Exquisite Vintage Blue and Pink Wedding

The dusky blue and pink theme of Kaitlyn and Mark’s vintage wedding was exquisite. Coordinating a wedding with these two colors turned out to be dramatic, eye-catching, and oh-so romantic. Thank you, Brittany Cruse, for your amazing photographs!

Kaitlyn and Mark’s wedding was quite special, not only because it’s beautifully designed, but because the touches of North Carolina in the centerpieces memorialize Kaitlyn’s dear mother. Kaitlyn wanted to remember her mother’s love of teaching, especially the history of her home state. From the mountains to the sea, there are pinecones, seashells, wooden pedestals, greenery, flowers, and endearing photos of Kaitlyn and Mark.

Added to the tablescapes were touches of vintage brass vases, goblets, and cricket boxes along with stacked vintage books, decoupaged shells, and mini artwork. J’adore! These charming centerpieces were packed with sweet meanings and beauty.

Notice how the pink goblets were paired with the pink dinner plates, dusky blue with the blue plates, and contrasting salads on each. The eclectic, vintage, and sophisticated place settings were stunning.

Bravo, Kaitlyn and Mark! It was our extreme pleasure to be a part of your wedding day and wish everything wonderful in your lives together!


And, lastly, thank you, Kaitlin for your lovely review!

Stunning Tablescapes Beautiful Design brought to life with help from Shelly and her stock room full of different colored glass, china, and decor. Truly was able to show my personality and theme of my wedding through the tablescape. Looking for an opportunity to use Southern Vintage Table again! – Kaitlyn

Vintage Wedding Tablescape with Purple Goblets

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Vintage Purple Wedding

Let us introduce you to two lovely women, Kat and Larson. They met in college and fell in love. Last month, they declared their eternal devotion in a beautiful ceremony at The Honeysuckle Tea House in Chapel Hill.

Purple paired with green was a must in their tablescape design. These vintage goblets gleam on the tables and coordinate beautifully with their floral centerpieces. They selected these along with a mix of vintage plates with purple and green florals and white stoneware, salad plates, stainless flatware, a silver-plate tray for the florals, and bird figurines. (We loved this special touch!) Patterned and solid green napkins completed the place settings. A white easel and tiered glass plate were their final choices.

Bravo, Kat and Larson! Your wedding day was just as beautiful and sweet as you two! Congratulations for finding your perfect partner and wishing you all the best!

Thank you for using our services and for this amazing review. We are humbled by your kind words.

Southern Vintage Table Event – An Intimate Vintage Wedding

Molly and Ben’s intimate vintage wedding was exactly what they wanted. Held at the beautiful Parlour at Manns Chapel, they shared one of their most important days with the folks dearest to them, their family.

The beautiful china pattern at the place settings is Grammy’s vintage Spode. What a sweet touch! We helped complete the settings with our vintage gold plated flatware, pink goblets, and dessert plates. Our vintage pink candleholders added one more lovely element to the tablescape. The final look is just what Molly envisioned – springtime elegance.

Our vintage pink coupes complemented this lovely look as seen below. We also provided vintage pink tumblers, clear goblets, and light blue goblets.

Congratulations, Molly and Ben! Your intimate wedding was magical, romantic, and totally you!

Shelly spent so much time helping us choose the perfect table settings for our small wedding! She has such an amazing collection of glasses, plates, candleholders, you name it. Reasonable prices, exceptional service, and happy to support small women-owned business!

PPS – Molly was a star student and athlete at the middle school where I taught. Although I didn’t have the pleasure of having her as a student, I did teach her twin brother, who was delightful! Their mother was an A+ parent who actively supported the teachers and school.
