We have been looking forward to taking you guys behind the scenes of this incredibly whimsical floral-centered wedding located at none other than the iconic Cheekwood Estate & Gardens in Nashville! White Ink couple, Kelly and Tyler, invited us along to customize and create some of the most darling details we have made yet!
Whimsical Floral-Centered Wedding
An early summer wedding offers the warmth of summer and all the beauty of the passing spring. It’s still the perfect time to embrace the gentleness of the air and the unmatched florals that haven’t yet been challenged by the summer heat. Kelly and Tyler wisely let nature take the stage as they chose florals for the focal point in most of the details throughout their big day. To begin, White Ink Calligraphy + Co. designed an invitation suite that would really reflect the botanical-inspired nuptials. A simple two-piece invitation suite with a dusty blue envelope perfectly embraced the delicate florals that draped around the paper. These particular floral prints on the invites would remain a familiar detail for Kelly and Tyler’s guests as the design was pulled throughout the entire wedding day. (I just LOVE it when that happens!)
Notice anything familiar? Our floral print came full circle from the invitation suite to the wedding welcome sign. I’ve said it many times before, carrying details throughout an event has the unbeatable power to elevate it. It shows attention to detail and your guests DO notice it.
The Seating Chart
Kelly and Tyler wanted a custom seating chart that suited the light and floral-filled motif of the day. The simplicity of the color and design of this chart spoke to its elegant style while lending itself as the perfect canvas for displaying the gorgeous floral arrangement sitting at its base, proving that simplicity also makes a statement!
Reception Details by White Ink Calligraphy + Co.
How sweet are these custom gray menus? Gray is a color that seamlessly fits into nearly any style or design pattern. I especially love how the white font pops right off the paper while not stealing the show from the arrangement of the stunning, garden party-inspired tablescapes.
Don’t forget that even the most delicate of details can be functional! What may seem like a simple pressed flower atop each place card, actually served as the meal indicator for the guests! The place cards were gently fastened to their menus using baby pink ribbons.
The table numbers we created for Kelly and Tyler’s reception are truly some of my favorites. The crisp, bright white paired with the boldness of the number catches the eye in the most inviting way. The blooming floral print on either corner is just the cherry on top.
We were happy to be a part of this adorable “polaroid guestbook” table. I love traditional ideas with a modern twist. White Ink provided the table signage which boasted the familiar floral print from the invitation suite as well as the wedding welcome sign.
Nothing is more moving than the beauty of nature and the power of love. Audrey Hepburn once said, “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” Kelly and Tyler’s unforgettable floral-centered wedding day was a beautiful reflection of that hope and intention for their future together. Here’s to the happy couple as they walk through the garden of love. Cheers!
