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 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 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!

Southern Vintage Table Event – Alex & Caroline’s Fall Wedding

All year we have been excited about Alex & Caroline’s wedding! You see, the minute I met this delightful couple, it was obvious they were so perfectly matched. Their thoughtful plans were filled with freshness and originality and when they described their vision for their fall wedding featuring our vintage 70s stoneware patterns, we were truly thrilled. In addition to the mixed and matched vintage stoneware, their plan included our vintage green and amber goblets, stainless flatware, serving dishes, vases, and crocheted overlays. We couldn’t wait to see the final results!

With a morning wedding ceremony at the Haw River banks near Chatham Mills in Pittsboro, followed by a reception breakfast, everything about this day was organically beautiful. The details were creatively captured in the photographs below by Live View Studios and we know you will love them!

Shelly at Southern Vintage Table was a delight to work with! Our reception turned out like a vision thanks to the fun vintage tableware and accessories. Everyone was asking where we rented the mismatched stoneware plates and amber and green goblets. She was very responsive, creative, and detailed oriented. Highly recommend this vendor!

Southern Vintage Table Event – Setting Cheerful Thanksgiving Tables

Southern Vintage Table

Preparations for the Bass family reunion began Wednesday with Christine’s daughters preparing the Masonic Lodge in Rolesville for our annual Thanksgiving feast. This year our centerpiece design included simple greenery and vines from our yards, white pillar candles and gold votives, and painted pinecones. With colorful printed napkins, mixed and matched vintage white stoneware patterns, and our brilliant vintage goblets. the cheerful tables were ready for our 60+ family members and friends.

Our Thanksgiving family tradition began in the 1960s by our grandparents and parents and has continued every year since. We all look forward to this day when family means parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, daughters, sons, grandchildren, friends, and neighbors. With four generations represented in the Bass lineage, tomorrow’s coveted day certainly will be filled with fun, love, laughter, and delicious food. More photos will be added to this post when they come in – we’ll keep you posted via our Facebook page!

Our mantra for the upcoming week, from 50 Inspiration Quotes, is:
Don’t call it a dream; call it a plan.

This may be the easiest blog post to write because we are going to point you to a beautiful blog post on Knotsvilla featuring a September photoshoot at the 1870 Farm in Chapel Hill, spearheaded by the talented Kelsea Merchant of HoneyBee Mine Events. The photos you’ll see were taken by Danielle Smith of DHS Photography and they are mesmerizing!

Before you head there, we first must share how much fun we had helping with this shoot!  Collaborating with Kelsea, we explored several different looks before settling on the bold, retro place settings, bright hand-crafted runner, and table decor. After the table was set, those glorious flower bouquets by Art of Motion Events were placed and their vintage furniture arranged, the fab Boho cake from Artylicious Cakes positioned on our vintage suitcases, Sugar Euphoria‘s delicious macaroons stacked, the adorable Lil Photo Bus parked, and, with the models groomed in their smashing attire, everything was set for Rebecca and Danielle to capture the day. Needless to say, in spite of the rainy weather (or perhaps because of it!), we loved working with this team of professionals!

More wonderful wedding photos to share today! Courtesy of Gents & Belles photography, these are from Sara and Galen’s October backyard wedding in Apex.  We love-love-love  how our vintage colored goblets sparkle like jewels down these farmhouse tables on this splendid fall afternoon!

Best wishes to you, Sara and Galen!  Your backyard wedding was magical, colorful, and joyful. We sincerely thank you for inviting us to help you celebrate on this beautiful day!


Two delightful perks of our business are meeting family members and visiting the venues. On this occasion we met Chuck and Michele, Sara’s parents, and we loved chatting with them about their downtown historic home, their lush backyard, Michele’s knitting business in Apex, appropriately named Downtown Knits, and their happiness about their daughter’s wedding.  And, they submitted this fabulous review on Wedding Wire, which we are so pleased to share today.

Shelly was great to work with – what a pleasure! We had a backyard wedding for my daughter who wanted it to have very eclectic and colorful glassware and assorted table settings on farm tables. Shelly had exactly what we were looking for. The tables turned out beautiful! We will definitely come back to Shelly if and when another event occurs.

It was indeed our pleasure!

Southern Vintage Table Events – Rustic, Eclectic, & Oh-So Romantic

Photo by Theo Milo Photography” Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.”
~ John Keats via Brainy Quotes

Yay!  We have more wedding photos to share today!  Courtesy of Theo Milo Photography, today’s post features these exquisite photos from Melanie and Holden’s July wedding at Rigmor House in Chapel Hill. This rural rustic venue was a terrific match for our vintage ware and the couple’s whimsical, romantic theme.

As guests entered the reception area they were greeted with this fabulous display. Using the window frames as a backdrop for the dessert table was an ingenious design and we absolutely loved how it put the spotlight on their gorgeous wedding cake created by Irregardless Cafe. Don’t you agree that our vintage garden cart, filled with favors for the wedding guests, is just the perfect final touch?

Inside the venue the reception tables were set with a mixed medley of our vintage china patterns.  We really enjoyed seeing them with our sparkling, vibrant goblets and Melanie’s colorful floral napkins. The rich blend of patterns, hues, and textures created a lovely, organic, and romantic vibe.

We had a wonderful experience with Shelly at Southern Vintage Table and we would HIGHLY recommend them for your event! Shelly was extremely kind, responsive and professional. She remained very flexible and patient with me (I changed my mind several times about what to order!). The vintage dishes and decor looked amazing at our reception! Everyone raved about how beautifully it all came together! They have a wide selection to choose from and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of service!
