Southern Vintage Table

I particularly love the whimsy and elegance of vintage design, so I was thrilled when the owner of the farm where we held our wedding suggested Southern Vintage Table. It's fun to go to her showroom and wander through the aisles sorted by era, color and overall look. It made for a far more personal feel to our event. Shelly was great to work with, very clear in her communications, and helpful in providing thoughtful guidance. I also appreciated that we could choose whether to pick up and return to her, or pay her to handle those tasks.

Shelly deserves a 10 stars. She is kind, responsive, communicative, and absolutely precious. She made every step of the process so special. We had a variety of floral china plates, crystal goblets, and candleabras for our 125 person wedding for a great price.

What a wonderful and simply relaxing experience we had working with Shelly at Southern Vintage Table. We didn’t have an exact idea of what we wanted before we arrived. Shelly guided us, made amazing suggestions, and solidified our plan. We ended up with a beautiful reception my daughter’s home. We cannot be more pleased! I highly recommend SVT.

We worked with Southern Vintage Table to rent vintage goblets and cake stands for our wedding. Shelly was a dream to work with- such a lovely person! She has a beautiful and impressive selection of items to choose from, and we’re so happy we chose to work with her because the items we rented really gave our wedding a special, personal touch. The place settings were beautiful with her vintage glassware (we went with yellow, clear, and pink vintage goblets for our water glasses), and our cupcake display was adorable! Shelly is sweet, professional, and accommodating. Working with her was smooth, easy, and an absolute delight! I highly recommend working with Southern Vintage Table for any special event you have coming up whether small or large.

Southern Vintage Table is an absolute treasure. The store is a jewel box of an incredible collection of vintage rentals: glasses, plates, bowls, linens and more. We had the pleasure of working with Shelly and SVT during our wedding and our couple planning visits to her shop became a sanctuary for us. Shelly’s commitment to vintage items, creating beautiful spaces and memories and building community as a result is special, and made it such a joy to work with her. As global event producers ourselves, we give our highest professional recommendation to Shelly - if you are considering working with Southern Vintage Table at all, stop deliberating and book them now!

Southern Vintage was absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough good things about them! Every item we rented from them was perfect and all our guests could not stop talking about how unique and gorgeous how it all looked together. We rented plates, cups and cake stands and each item added such a perfect level of details (and at such a reasonable cost!) I loved everything so much that I would love to find another reason to rent stuff from them again :)

All I knew when beginning to plan my wedding was that I wanted a lot of color. Then I stumbled upon Southern Vintage Table while researching and knew I HAD to have some of her dishes at my wedding. She allowed us to go in and set a mock table and helped us decide what would look best. She was very accommodating and so helpful with suggestions. Her dishes were absolutely stunning and really elevated my tablescape. I cannot say enough good things about Shelly! I would highly recommend her!

Shelly was lovely and professional to work with; I had a great time selecting table settings at her cute shop in Hillsborough and Shelly was ready and willing to make modifications as the wedding date approached. Shelly and her team set up the table settings at our venue (including dessert and dinner plates, glass goblets, tea cups, silverware, cake stands, etc.) and they looked spectacular--I would unhesitatingly recommend Southern Vintage Table for a charming and unique choice for your wedding china and other table setting needs.

Southern Vintage Table owner Shelly is a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry. She is responsive; communicates well and is detailed orientated. Shelly never rushed any of our meetings or phone conversations and nevertheless, very patient with my questions. Her items are BEAUTIFUL and fair in pricing. If you want unique dinnerware for your wedding, look no further - her collection is huge and will make such a statement.

Shelly's blue and white china and accessories were the perfect accent to our wedding. Shelly was very helpful throughout the entire process, from the initial meeting to coordinating the delivery of the items. I have already connected one friend with Shelly and cannot speak highly enough of the Southern Vintage Table.

Vintage Table was very professional and friendly to work with! Their Tableware is stunning, and the way they pack their supplies is very secure and convenient! I will recommend this small business to everyone I know planning an event! I am thankful to Vintage Table for their business and giving my daughter the wedding of her dreams!

Southern Vintage Table was so easy to work with. They have a huge inventory of items to choose from. Shelly was flexible with our return of the rental which made it easier for us to enjoy the wedding without worrying about returning items the same day.

We rented dinner plates, dessert plates, coffee cups, and water goblets from Shelly for our wedding on October 22,2022. The plates she has available are so unique and beautiful, and my mom, mom's best friend, and I had so much fun going and picking them all out. I had a very specific vision so Shelly let us come and pick out the plates for each table setting. Every time you go back to the stacks you find a new, beautiful plate to add into the selection! Shelly is really nice, and she handled dropping off, picking up, and cleaning all of the dishware before and after the event. Her selection of vintage plates is amazing and her customer service is as well! I highly recommend Southern Vintage Table for weddings and any other events where you might want an elegant looking table!

Supplied the perfect touch to the vintage table setting my daughter wanted. When planning my daughters wedding there were only two things that were non-negotiable must haves for her wedding and Shelly at Southern Vintage was able to help me ensure she had one of them - vintage mix colored glass water goblets. I found her in a Google search for vintage glassware because many of the places near me didn’t have them, or required me to hire them in some form of wedding package to be able to use them. For example, one florist had them, but I needed to hire her for florals and table settings to use them. Shelly rents literally anything you need and works with you in what ever form you want/need. She has a massive quantity of vintage table setting styles in plates, glassware, flatware, and more. Pricing is right on her website and this transparency made it very easy for me to plan accordingly and even know if I could afford them and inquire further. This is a major time saver - instead of having to send a request email for a quote and wait for a response. She worked with me on every aspect so I could pick them up and return them myself as I chose to do to save myself some expense. When everything’s was said and done, the glassware was the final touch to the table that made everything pop and gave it the true vintage vibe. Absolutely love!!!!

Shelly was an absolute dream to work with. So flexible, she has such a large inventory, and her prices are incredibly fair! We were able to do everything remotely as we live out of state and even with last-minute changes she was very accommodating. I can't recommend her enough! We drove from 3 hours away just to use her gorgeous vintage glassware and it really made our tables sparkle and shine. Thank you!!!

Very easy to work with. I only needed to rent purple goblets and a cake stand, so I picked up the order and returned it myself. Items were well packed and easy to transport. Very reasonbly priced.

Shelly has a beautiful collection of goblets and china to choose from. From our first meeting to view her inventory, to the final plate selection she was a true gem to work with. She allowed us to pick the plates ourselves which was a fun preparation event and gave the table settings a personal touch. I highly recommend Southern Vintage for anyone looking to work with a local small business vendor and have a vintage wedding touch.

The absolute BEST!! Shelly was such a joy to work with and has the most amazing selection of plates, goblets, silverware, candleholders and decorations. She brought our ‘vintage garden party’ vision to life with her blue and white china selection! Can’t recommend Southern Vintage Table enough.

Shelly at Southern Vintage Table has an incredible selection of china and table decor that will add a special touch to your wedding! We got so many compliments on our mismatched place settings and every guest felt unique. The price is extremely competitive and Shelly lets you check out her entire collection and experiment with colors and styles in person before coming up with a game plan. We’re so thankful we found Southern Vintage Table!

Choosing Southern Vintage Table for our wedding rentals was one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding! Shelly was wonderful to work with and handled all of the coordination for drop off and pick up with our venue so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We rented glassware, plates, and flatware and loved how beautiful and unique each piece was. The amber goblets especially were a favorite that helped bring so much warmth to our table settings. Thank you Southern Vintage Table for a great experience!

Shelly was amazing to work with and had everything we were looking for and more. If you're looking for a vintage vibe or vintage elements for you wedding, I can't recommend her enough. Her collection is unparalleled! She was easy to work with and we had great chats as I browsed her multitude of shelves filled with beautiful piece after beautiful piece.

Shelly has an amazing collection of gorgeous tableware and decor. We rented flatware, salad & dessert plates, colored water goblets, table linens and vases for our April wedding and could not have been happier with how the whole aesthetic of our tablescapes turned out. Shelly was a delight to work with, from her design expertise at our initial studio visit to the logistics of delivery and pick up on the wedding day. Thank you, SVT!

Review by mom Mom, who rented from Shelly: My daughter hosted a bridal tea shower for my other daughter at our home. While looking at Tea Time Magazine for inspiration, I found an article on renting vintage china. One of the places offering this service was Southern Vintage Table in North Carolina. I contacted Shelly at Southern Vintage Table (southernvintagetable.com) to talk about what we needed. There would be 20 attendees, so we opted for the Tea Party for 12 package with additional place settings. Everything was included and was absolutely beautiful. The package included teacups and saucers, dessert plates, silverware, water goblets, napkins, sugar/creamer set, tiered cake stands, and a hot water urn that quickly heated up a large volume of water in a short amount of time. We upgraded to pink goblets and they really enhanced the look. The guests couldn’t believe how beautiful everything looked. The vintage tea china added so much to the event. It was very reasonably priced and Shelly was a delight to work with, even accommodating some last-minute changes. We found bridal tea shower games/menus/placecards on Etsy and supplemented with pastel decorations. We served tea sandwiches, mini quiches, crabcakes on crostini, scones (using King Arthur Baking Company mixes made ahead and frozen), and assorted sweets. Guests ranged in age from 8 to 86 and all had a wonderful time.

My daughter Caroline has a love of vintage china and it was her one request to have mismatched vintage china, silverware and goblets for her wedding reception. She found Southern Vintage Table and made the appointment for us to meet Shelly in her showroom for an afternoon. What a wonderful experience that was! Shelly has a huge inventory and a wealth of knowledge, so she and Caroline enjoyed setting up a table and placing her order. We met in July and never had to worry again! Shelly delivered to us 2 days before the Nov. 6th wedding and we had the best time setting up the tables! The reception was beautiful and we received tons of compliments on the fabulous vintage look! We would highly recommend working with Southern Vintage Table!

I knew I wanted our wedding to have vintage, whimsical elements and as soon as our planner took us to visit Southern Vintage Table, I was sold! We used SVT for our reception goblets, dinner and dessert plates and I could not have been happier with them, or with Shelly! Shelly is such a wonderful, considerate, and helpful person to work with — exactly the kind of calming presence you want to be around when you’re planning a high-stress event like a wedding. She was super flexible (working through a wedding postponement with her was seamless), letting me come in and spend an afternoon picking out the exact plates I wanted to use, and helping me label which table I wanted each one to be set at during our reception. I could’ve spent days looking through everything in her unique collection, and using her goblets and plates really added a distinctive touch that helped our wedding feel more personalized and true to our tastes. Shelly made everything super easy, and she offered expert advice when we needed it. I can’t recommend her enough!

This review comes a little late, however I wanted to share how great Shelly was to work with. I came in struggling to find my vision, she was incredibly patient, and had no problem walking me through her amazing collection of antique china. She was very responsive and flexible. There were absolutely no hiccups on our big day, and I cannot thank her enough for her support through the wedding process!

I was so grateful to Shelly, the owner of Southern Vintage Table for her outgoing personality and sweet charm. She made the process of deciding on a look for our beach wedding…so easy and effortless. My group of “wedding planners” and my fiancé and I literally invaded her studio and went to town picking out the perfect table scapes from plates to silverware, glasses, champagne toasters to cake stand of all proportions. SVT has been nothing but a joy to work with, communication was easy and Shelly was always responsive even when we had to up our count the price for everything was VERY reasonable! All dishes and glasses and silverware were picked up at designated time and crates wrapped in plastic bags to keep them clean during transportation. The crates made for an easy clean up. Our order came with directions of what to clean and how to reach out for drop off!! We will definitely be using Southern Vintage Table again!!!!

Working with Shelly was wonderful! Fell in love with her assortment of clear and colored vintage goblets and instantly knew they needed to be included in our wedding decor! Her shop is so cute and you’re bound to find other things you love there as well. She delivered and picked up and everything went smoothly. Thanks so much Shelly! Can’t wait to see all the pictures ◡̈

I visited Southern Vintage Table soon after we started planning our wedding, and absolutely fell in love with Shelly's pieces! As soon as I saw the vintage light blue glasses, I knew I had to have them for our wedding, and planned our whole tablescape around them. They were the perfect pop of color, and matched our classic-but-unique vibe. We also used Shelly's gorgeous blue and white dessert plates for cake. I highly recommend you take a look at her incredible collection -- I'm sure you'll find something to fit your color scheme and vibe! Shelly was also incredibly easy to work with -- unfortunately, we had to move our wedding multiple times due to covid-19, but she was always lovely, responsive, and flexible. Pick-up and delivery was seamless. Thank you, Shelly -- I hope we'll have the chance to work together again!

Southern Vintage Table was one of the best vendors we chose for our wedding. We were so disappointed after seeing the boring and basic options from other rental vendors, but Shelly (the owner) spent multiple hours over multiple days helping us put together the perfect table settings. We used all blue and white china with rainbow vintage goblets on the wedding day, and my mom also threw me a bridal shower using vintage teacups and plates. Our guests kept saying how beautiful it was and that they had never seen anything like it at a wedding. Both events looked incredible thanks to Shelly. We will definitely use SVT for events in the future!

I can’t recommend SVT enough! Shelly was incredibly delightful and helpful from the beginning. Her inventory is so well curated and beautiful, and has enough variety so we felt we were really able to make our tables suit our personal style. Her prices are more than fair, especially for the beautiful and unique pieces she has in stock. My guests wouldn’t shut up about how lovely and special everything on the table was. Working with Shelly/ SVT was a pleasure from start to finish— she is really a wonderful vendor and I strongly recommend her!

Our experience with Shelly could not have been more awesome! It was such a pleasure to go to her beautiful shop and choose all of our china for ourselves! She gave us some great ideas and overall she helped make our wedding the amazing day that it was!

I can’t think of anything that Shelly could have done better! We rented 150 glass cups and silverware sets. Everything was perfectly cleaned and packaged in a way that made me feel confident in transporting the materials. Cups were placed in crates to prevent breaking during transit without lots of extra paper or packaging. The crates were a manageable weight so I didn’t worry about pulling a muscle while carrying them! One of the best parts was that Shelly did all the washing of dirty dishes! I would definitely recommend this company!!

We rented assorted vintage blue & white dinner plates and goblets for our spring wedding. They added such a beautiful, elegant touch to the rustic farm tables at our outdoor reception. We received so many compliments from our guests and other vendors!! Shelly was always quick to respond, polite, and overall a lovely person to work with!

Southern Vintage Table made my wedding so special. SVT has a unique eye for design with a PLETHORA of items from which to choose. I provided a high level idea of my vision, and SVT created something better than I could have ever imagined! I love working with SVT and can't wait to bring them in for another event! I LOVE the studio - so many beautiful things!

I cannot say enough good things about Shelly and Southern Vintage Table; she was so helpful and wonderful to work with! We planned our wedding from afar, and really appreciated how responsive and detail-oriented she was in helping us figure out our tablescape, the items/amount of items we needed, how we wanted our napkins folded, etc. Her inventory is extensive and charming-- I'm pretty sure any style (modern, retro, classic) can be accommodated. Our china, linen, and cake stand rentals were beautiful and truly helped "make" our wedding!

Shelly at Southern Vintage Table was amazing! Her prices were extremely competitive compared to the other vendors I considered for my wedding and I loved the fact that each place setting was unique. When my mom and I came to look at the tableware, Shelly welcomed us, and encouraged us to take our time to try out different combinations - definitely one of our favorite memories from planning my wedding! The place settings are lovely, and she allows you to mix and match as much as you want. One of the things that we found most helpful is that Shelly organizes the plates for you before she drops them off at your venue. So, if you are doing the setup yourself, you don’t have to worry about coordinating the place settings because Shelly has already done it for you! Also, she picks up the dishes and washes them herself, so our caterer didn’t have to worry about that. We received so many compliments on the place settings on our wedding day. I wish I could post some of the pictures of the tableware from the wedding - it was gorgeous, thanks to SVT! I cannot recommend SVT highly enough if you are looking for a classy and vintage look for your wedding!

Shelly is simply amazing! She has so many options for plates, glasses, and everything in between— she is so helpful in making your vision come to life, even if you’re not quite sure what it is you’re looking for. She was incredibly dependable and great to work with, and the tables she created for us matched our wedding vibe PERFECTLY. She provided colorful goblets, flower plates, napkins, flatware, mugs, dessert plates, and it all was wonderful! We loved working with her :)

If you’re envisioning an elegantly chic vintage ambiance for your wedding, reception, party special event. Southern Vintage Table in Hillsborough, NC has the candelabras flatware. plateware, glassware, vintage accents and seamless service to create the ideal setting. Thank you Shelly!

I highly recommend SVT! Shelly was so creative in making suggestions for how to achieve an elegant and unique atmosphere for our wedding reception. She provided silver-plated flatware, colored goblets, table signs and other wonderful vintage details for our event at the Carolina Club. Even the staff there commented on how special the flatware was and how it elevated the look of our table settings. Shelly was extraordinarily generous with her time and expertise, meticulous in her attention to detail and pleasant and easy-going to work with. She made the whole planning process exciting and stress-free!

I can't express how happy I am that we rented our tableware from Southern Vintage Table!!! The mismatched china, colored glasses, decanters, etc. really elevated the over all feel of our wedding and was a perfect representation of our eclectic personalities. Shelly was such a pleasure to work with and really made us feel confident in our choices!

Shelly was so easy to work with when picking out colored glass goblets for my wedding. She worked with our vision and offered up her expert advice. We used multiple colors for our wedding and Shelly was great about handpicking glass that matched our scheme to a T! Southern Vintage Table has an excellent collection of vintage dishes, silverware, napkins, glasses, and so much more. I would definitely use her again for my next party!

I recently rented from Shelley at SVT for our wedding in the mountains of NC. We were going for a "vintage chic" vibe with an abundant amount of florals and she NAILED it. From the vintage glassware to plates and salad plates, our tablescapes were absolutely STUNNING. Not only was everything beautiful, but she made everything so easy. After the wedding, my husband and I were in a rush to get to our honeymoon and Shelley made it so easy for my family and friends to drop off the dishes at her office. If you are looking for beautiful vintage china and glassware as well as a fabulous rental experience, rent from Shelley at SVT! You will never regret it!

We had a small ceremony in the morning and wanted some fun, mismatched vintage china for our guests to use at a pre-ceremony brunch spread. Working with Shelly was incredibly easy and a wonderful experience. She responded to all of my emails and questions promptly, and even gave us a small discount on our order. On the day of, our guests said the spread was beautiful, and that they felt like they were attending a garden tea party which is exactly the vibe we were going for! Shelly really knows the vibe that brides are going for who come to her for her specialty service. She will take care of you and provide wonderful suggestions to add gorgeous detail and character to your day. Everything was absolutely gorgeous! Don't hesitate - add some charm to your day, too!

I can't tell you how wonderful Shelly was through the whole process! I used Southern Vintage for all of the vintage cake plates and the plates, glassware and silverware for the head table at my wedding. Talk about incredible! Her China is breathtaking! She sent pictures of different options and when I requested to add extra China (literally at the last minute) she responded quickly, and with a "'No problem at all!" It doesn't hurt that Shelly is just SO sweet and truly wants your day to be perfect! :)

Working with Southern Vintage Table was a wonderful part of my wedding! Shelly was really helpful and easy to work with. She has everything that you could need to set a beautiful table at your wedding. She was also really flexible and made all the changes that I asked for throughout the planning process. Best of all, her pieces are GORGEOUS! I received so many compliments at the wedding. I would definitely recommend working with her!

Southern Vintage Table was fabulous to work with! Shelly provided excellent advice and inspiration for completing the finishing touches on our reception decor. She followed through with every aspect of the order and exceeded my expectations. The final result of our reception was unique and elegant thanks to to the vintage elements provided by SVT!

Shelly was great to work with and I really enjoyed getting to visit her studio to try different colors and patterns for my wedding reception tables. The mix-and-match blue china and glasses were whimsical yet classic and added a nice touch of color to my tables. There were tons of options to choose from! She was flexible with pick up and drop off.

The moment that my husband and I walked into Southern Vintage Table we knew that we had to book Shelly. She provided all of the bud vases and vintage china for our wedding, and with her impeccable taste, my vision for our reception came to life. Shelly's inventory is dreamy in every way possible, and her flexibility, responsiveness, and professionalism are unmatched. We were so grateful to find such a unique vendor so close to home.

Working with Shelly was absolutely wonderful! After meeting with her the first time, we just knew that we would use her for our reception china. We used her mismatched china for our reception table settings, as well as some of her other vintage goodies for our centerpiece designs. Shelly worked with our florist, Springwell Gardens, to pull all of our ideas together into one cohesive look. Our reception décor and china was one of my favorite aspects of our wedding day!
