Southern Vintage Table Events – Love, Love, Boho Love

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!

Vintage Feature – Making Progress on our Linen Inventories!

We’ve been quite focused on our vintage linen collection and can proudly announce that 5 inventory slide shows are now available under our Vintage Linens tab. Yay!

Vintage Lace & Crocheted Tablecloth Inventory
Vintage Table Topper Inventory
Vintage Napkin Inventory
Vintage Doilies & Runners Inventory
Vintage White/Cream Tablecloth Inventory

An interesting thing happened along the way of our sorting, counting, and measuring – we discovered that we have amassed a very nice collection of vintage table toppers! These are small tablecloths or large doilies usually placed over a base cloth in the center of the table as an accent. Embellished with embroidery, lace, and/or colorful designs, these toppers add a dash of style to your table design!

Most are square but we also have a few round and rectangular ones. As an alternative to our vintage lace overlays, you may want to consider these lovelies as a backdrop for your table’s centerpiece.

There’s much more to add to our linen inventory – colored tablecloths, printed tablecloths, and placemats – so stay posted. We look forward to sharing these with you soon!

Southern Vintage Table Event – Katie & Ryan Get Hitched!

It’s true – it’s all in the details and Katie and Ryan didn’t miss a thing with their beautiful wedding and lovely reception! With the help of wedding coordinator, Amy Wurster of Knots ‘N Such and Southern Vintage Table, and after months of planning with friends and family, Katie and Ryan’s vision of a rustic yet elegant celebration was realized. From the big details to the personal touches, it was a memory-making day for all!

It began at Fairview Baptist Church where friends and family witnessed the sweet wedding ceremony officiated by pastor, Hoyt Shuford. From there, guests migrated to the reception at The Big Barn. We all love this place, not only because of the family connection, but because it’s historic and authentically rustic.

While Katie and Ryan embraced the rustic atmosphere, they also wanted it to befit their romantic celebration. After swaths of cloth were draped across the ceiling and cascaded down the interior wall, and market lamps hung, the next step was to add the small vintage details.

The wooden tables are definitely part of The Big Barn’s charm and to showcase their beauty and history, we used an alternating table runner with vintage lace sewn by friend, Cynthia, and a layered doily stream provided by Southern Vintage Table. The decor, although slightly different from table to table, featured vintage treasures from our collection such as brass candle holders, alarm clocks, stacks of books, and frames. The charming petite coral rose arrangements, fashioned by Amy, added that perfect “pop” of color.

After the table centerpieces were in place, our final preparation was setting up the greeting and card stations. Take notice of the terrific vintage picnic basket, child’s chair, and the baby’s breath tucked in the pockets of the old suitcase, brass goblet, and metal pitcher. Such wonderful vintage details!

The sweetest details were the personal ones shared by Katie and Ryan. The mantle was bedecked with photos of their engagement, the handmade box that held the engagement ring, the famous “Get’in Hitched” sign made by a friend for their engagement party, and the lighted “J” at the bar.

Perhaps the loveliest displays were the dessert and sign-in tables. Covered with one of our vintage lace tablecloths, the beautiful tiered cake was flanked by photos of Katie and Ryan’s parents and grandparents. Also, note the table next Katie’s exquisite portrait – as a memento of their day, they created a poster with a heart from their thumbprints and guests added a personal message to the couple.

One last touch, added to the tables and in honor of all who came to celebrate with the newly married couple, was a beautiful message. “We feel that the finest gift is one that helps others. We truly appreciate that you are part of this special day! Love Katie & Ryan.” And, with that came their gift to the Fairview Baptist Church Food Pantry. So thoughtful! Wishing you two joy, happiness, and endless love!

Of course, family and friends took part in this special event as well as these amazing individuals and businesses!
