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

Southern Vintage Table Events – A Magical Bundle is on the Way!


Yes, it’s indeed a magical moment – celebrating the arrival of a new baby with a vintage tea party!

Harry Potter is a favorite of the mom-to-be and thus – poof! – it came to be. With tea and treats, under the enchantment of Harry Potter magic, this mom-to-be was honored by family and friends.

Given this wonderful theme, vintage teacups and teapots featuring gold, white, and green were selected. Two glass tiered stands and special Harry Potter plates held the tasty treats. We heard it was lovely, fun, and charmed with love. Best wishes!

Many thanks to Mary for providing photos of her daughter’s shower.

Honeysuckle Tea House Vintage Tablescape with Props

Styled Shoot – Welcome to Camp Honeysuckle

A styled shoot is the ultimate fling for folks in the event business – the theme can be anything, vendors open up their offerings and skills, whether it’s inventory, photographic skills, food, florals, music, drinks, and yes, even cigars, and a true collaboration begins. We usually participate in a couple each year and the one featured today was truly one of our favorites. Camp Honeysuckle at The Honeysuckle Tea House included all of the elements that make a camp experience fun!

Events by Rebs visited the studio and together we designed 3 different vintage tablescapes – pink, yellow, and green/blue to coordinate with three of our vintage kitchen tablecloths. They included retro bold vintage plates, napkins and rings, flatware, and tumblers. New to our offerings are the woven placemats. Sprinkled around the shoot were many of our vintage props – on the tables, at the welcome and photo backdrop, and on the food table. The final look is so campy and Amy Ellis Photography captured it all for us!

Planning Vintage Tablescapes

Scenes from SVT – Our Clients Adore Vintage!

It’s true! Our visitors are kindred spirits when it come to appreciating the beautify of vintage tableware and everything else. Some have shared that they feel at home amongst all of our treasures. Their enthusiasm for our collections makes our hearts sing!

Today we’d like to introduce you to a delightful cadre of visitors and their creative vintage tablescapes. First up is Allie and Cameron – these two sweethearts who met in 4th grade are getting ready for their November wedding. They didn’t date until after college, but their shared childhood memories played an important role in their finding each other again.

This mother/daughters’ meeting was really fun! Although deliberation is continuing, Camille is considering different vintage colored-themed tables for her July wedding. Her sister Renee also started looking at possibilities for her September wedding. It’s going to be a busy few months for this family!

Cleveland and Lauren are making final plans for their November wedding. With her mother’s help, their design includes florals, colored goblets, and possibly peg votives on brass candleholders. We truly enjoyed meeting these folks!

We are so excited about Helen and Christian’s wedding scheduled for next year. Helen’s mother has a unique collection of vintage kitchen tablecloths that will be used as toppers for the tables. Here are three examples – mostly purples/pinks, blues/pinks, and yellow/greens. This is going to be totally fun!

Macie and Byron’s wedding is coming up this September. It’s an intimate affair with lots of color and special touches. They will be using colored Whitehall glasses paired with a colored wine glass. Initially, they set the table with two looks – one side with browns and the other with white stoneware. The final decision is to use vintage white stoneware with the colored pair of vintage goblets. It’s going to be a treat for their guests!

We’ve had the immense pleasure to meet Rebecca who owns Events by Rebs. Vivacious, super friendly, and full of energy, she planned a styled shoot at The Honeysuckle Teahouse using our vintage wares. We chose vintage kitchen tablecloths, a mix of complementary plates, napkins, tumblers, flatware, and natural chargers. Vintage suitcases, lanterns, and an assortment of other vintage decor also went out the door for this special shoot.

Six visitors with their own vintage flair and all personal to them. Looking forward to helping you with your wedding and seeing photos from the Rebs’ photo shoot!

Happily Desserted

Don’t we all love to admire a beautifully crafted traditional tiered wedding cake? For us, it may be the highlight of the wedding reception! Nowadays, cakes are typically smaller with fewer layers and are accompanied by a menagerie of sweet treats for the guests.

Today’s post features the many different ways cakes and treats have been displayed using our vintage cake stands and other vintage items. The first set of photos showcase our vintage wooden, colored glass, milk glass and clear glass stands. The assortment of cakes look so yummy on them!

Now for the nontraditional ways to display a cake and treats! Handcrafted wooden boxes, upside-down baskets and wooden bowls, stacked vintage suitcases, vintage metal tins, and a vintage record player have been used to display the wedding cake and other treats. The personalities of the clients often are portrayed in their design!

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.
