Rustic Vintage Furniture and Decor for my First Barn Wedding!

I blogged several months ago about meeting Kelli and Shawn at a trunk show I did and they started a wedding and event planning business in Birmingham called Southern Soiree.  Here is a vintage chair of mine they used for a wedding photo shoot!


They referred one of their brides-to-be to me who is planning a fall wedding at Swan Lake Barn in Cahaba Heights and I am so excited to be working with her on providing vintage furniture and decor for the barn wedding!  She has some great ideas and has a wedding board on Pinterest which is such a good way to organize your ideas.  She's wanting to use pieces like farm tables, vintage hutches, old church pews, shutters and more.

It is also really going to help me to start building up inventory to offer vintage and rustic furniture and decor for vintage, rustic, shabby chic weddings and events in the Birmingham area.  I hope to eventually be able to offer a wide variety of items such as vintage furniture, crystal chandeliers, old shabby chic picture frames and mirrors, wishing trees, cake and cupcake stands and pedestals, mason jars, mixes of vintage chairs, burlap chair sashes, table runners and tablecloths, pew cones, signs, old doors.....!

Here is some inspiration from Pinterest and Etsy:
