Vicki’s Vintage Table

L

By Sara Hilton

ooking for a vintage-style wedding adorned with whimsical vignettes and centerpieces? While vintage style adds simple charm to any event, achieving a vintage look can be anything but simple. The cost and time needed to amass a vintage collection isn’t always a practical use of a couple’s time. . However, with Vicki’s Vintage Table, you can have a vintage or rustic wedding without the work. In 2012 when Vicki Miller’s son and his fiancé decided to have a vintage wedding, Miller began pulling together pieces and found that she enjoyed the process so much she wanted to share it with others and she and her husband went on to create a vintage and rustic rental business. “We have everything from burlap to barn walls to vintage dish rentals,” said Miller who has decorated vintage barn weddings, steam punk weddings, and even Great Gatsby themed weddings. She also styles showers, anniversary parties, garden parties, and more. She and her team arrange all delivery and set up for your special day.
