The Night Before | A Rehearsal Dinner to Remember

The Night Before | A Rehearsal Dinner to Remember

A bride and groom’s time to shine isn’t narrowed down to just one day. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments happen in the days surrounding a wedding day. One of the biggest roles of a rehearsal dinner is to allow the bride and group an opportunity to properly welcome family and the wedding party. Cason and Eddie set the bar for what a rehearsal dinner should look like and feel like! White Ink was honored to take part in delivering this rehearsal dinner to remember!

Rehearsal Dinner Invite + Paper Goods

White Ink knows how to deliver the goods…. paper goods! Cason and Eddie’s June nuptials offered the perfect chance for them to use the beauty of summer floral prints. The rehearsal invite liner featured a beautiful floral print also found on the custom table number signs at the reception.

I always love to see that gorgeous dusty blue hue. Our couple incorporated this color throughout the entire evening, and I simply couldn’t get enough of it.

The Night Before Welcome Sign

Cason and Eddie chose the ever-stunning Noelle in Nashville to welcome their close friends and family to their wedding celebrations. We collaborated with Hill Event Rentals to put together this amazing welcome sign that was tucked perfectly against a draped entryway. The florals that lined the bottom of the sign was the cherry on top that made this welcome sign the delicate focal point that it was. Teamwork!

“Your Seat Awaits”

“Your Seat Awaits,” topped the escort card display. Hill Event Rentals once again showcased some of their best work with building this display to match the Welcome Sign display. White Ink did what we do best and added the laser-cut text along with individually calligraphed place cards, complete with a custom monogram wax seal.

Remember, event signage doesn’t have to be cold or bossy. Direct your guests in a warm and beautiful way! Feel free to make it unique and even playful! We love helping our clients with these ideas.

Custom Event Menus

We designed a classic, custom menu for Cason and Eddie. Carrying details like color and prints throughout the whole of an event sends a message of intention and thoughtfulness and can show guests that their enjoyment is a really big part of the planning process!

Planting the Seed | Dreamy Garden-Inspired Summer Wedding | Morgan + Tommy

Every moment of planning with this sweet couple was a true joy for all of us at White Ink. Morgan and Tommy chose an incredible balance of boldness and gentleness throughout their wedding details making this dreamy garden-inspired summer wedding unforgettable for all in attendance. Truly, it was stunning-a dream day from start to finish.

Dreamy Lavender Invitation Suite

Morgan and Tommy’s invitation suites delicately showcased a beautiful lavender color and theme, a detail that was laced throughout the entire ceremony and reception! Our friends at Clover Calligraphy Co. did the beautiful letterpress work on the card stock paper, which comes at no surprise as they always do impressive work! A soft lavender hue was chosen for the envelopes in addition to the vellum envelope liners with a dainty tuber rose print. I also want to draw attention to the pressed flowers in the custom wax seals! Is this not the dreamiest invitation suite?

If you look closely at the details card from our bride and groom’s invitation suite, you can see that this textured card is actually seed paper! The cards were infused with wildflower seeds so that wherever guests planted their cards, wildflowers would grow! Talk about a memorable detail!

Frosted Acrylic Welcome Sign

The elegant frosted acrylic wedding welcome sign brought me back to the invitation suite details, as guests could see the same custom monogram from the invite, as well as the beautiful tuber rose print on the vellum envelope liner. Connecting details throughout an event, especially a wedding, can easily elevate your special day.

Thoughtful Summer Wedding Details

A very thoughtful detail that Morgan and Tommy added to their June wedding was letting us create these adorable fan programs which, of course, included the stunning lavender color theme and floral prints that blanketed the details of their wedding. This is a perfect example of making parts of your ceremony details functional for your guests while maintaining a delicate theme.

Garden Party Inspired Seating Chart

Alright, now it’s time to talk about this stunning, garden-party inspired seating chart! Guests could find their escort cards in these adorable little wooden garden boxes that were appropriately filled with gorgeous florals and greenery. This is one of the sweetest seating charts I’ve ever taken part in. It was a true showstopper!

Custom Laser-Engraved Bar Sign

Among all of the delicate designs of the day, Morgan and Tommy still maintained a wonderful balance of boldness, like this one-of-a-kind bourbon bar. We got to create this awesome, laser-engraved, wooden bourbon bar sign, which matched incredibly well with the rustic look they wanted for this setting. I’m really proud of how great this sign turned out. It made for a great conversation piece among guests too!

I loved getting to create these summer-perfect, lavender menus for Morgan and Tommy’s reception. Does the wax seal look familiar? It’s the same custom wax seal with pressed flowers that sealed the guests’ invitation suites! These looked so amazing among the beautiful tablescapes.

I am so proud of the work we were able to accomplish for Morgan and Tommy! This dreamy garden-inspired summer wedding was one for the books and certainly one I will remember for years to come. When it comes to summer wedding inspiration, I guess you could say, this couple has planted the seed! Cheers!

Florals are Forever | Cheekwood Spring Wedding Details | Molly + Cam

Florals are Forever | Cheekwood Spring Wedding Details | Molly + Cam

When it comes to planning a spring wedding in Nashville that can deliver an enchanting array of florals, Cheekwood Estate reigns supreme. If you know me, then you probably know about my obsession with florals, especially when it comes to invitations. There is nothing better than using the florals in an invitation suite that match the florals at the event, as well as the decor throughout the day! That is the cherry on top when designing invites and day-of-details.

This past April, White Ink had the honor of working with the sweetest couple on their wedding day stationary details. Molly and Cam share the same love for florals that I do! Together, we created one of my favorite suites to date. I’m so excited to share this one.

This invitation suite was so inspiring for me and the White Ink team to create. We loved having the chance to let the beauty of florals and calligraphy interlace in the most magnificent ways.

Dusty Rose Invitation Suite

To design this invitation suite we used full spot calligraphy in dusty rose ink and letter pressed onto beautiful, white stock card. I love the unique, tilted orientation of the print. Each of these details makes this invite very memorable to the guests receiving them.

I also want to point out one of the best parts about this suite: the floral design that is printed on the beautiful dusty rose envelope liner is the very floral print that lined the bar at the reception area of the wedding day. Tying together wedding day details is a top-tier move. Tying together floral details is magical.

Custom Escort Cards

Our fun continued with Molly and Cam’s guest escort cards. These cards were done using delicate scalloped cardstock in a dusty rose color (a fast favorite for many of our clients!), with Spot calligraphy.

Molly and Cam took the time to bring in florals throughout the wedding day decor. The remarkable scenery of Cheekwood only enhanced these beautiful details. I look back on this project fondly and I am so proud of how wonderfully it all came together for our amazing couple. The florals seem to speak their own special language that people intuitively understand. Florals represent life and love. Florals are forever.

Townley’s Baby Shower!

Townley’s Baby Shower!

This June I had the honor of hosting the sweetest baby shower for my sister, Townley! Guys, I CANNOT wait to be an aunt. This feels so surreal, and I am drinking up every moment. So many of our clients have had the joy of working with Townley throughout the years as she is a machine behind the scenes at White Ink Calligraphy! She is the heart and soul of our stationary department. Townley continuously dedicates her time assisting our clients with graphic designing and printing services. Whether our couples want a custom wedding invitation suite or one-of-a-kind cocktail napkins, Townley makes it happen! So, now it’s time to celebrate Townley as she glides effortlessly into the beauty of a new role- mother. Enjoy this little peek inside what was an incredibly happy day for us all.

LOVE the invites that we sent out for Townley’s shower. It’s no surprise to anyone that I have always been huge fan of florals on invitations. The flowers bordering the event details are so beautiful and create the most delicate frame. We also really loved using this muted green for the envelopes.

The welcome sign was a true joy to create! The pressed florals between the glass resembles the florals from the invites and the lettering takes on the same muted green from the invitation envelopes. I love when small details connect like this!

For the mamas out there who experienced pregnancy, did you ever have any food cravings? Townley definitely did….she craved mocktails! That has been her number one food craving throughout her pregnancy. So, naturally, we set up a mocktail bar so she could mocktail to her heart’s content. I especially loved the little onesie, paci, and bottle stirrers!

Friends and family surrounded Townley and showed so much support. We were so excited to celebrate baby Goldberg!

It was so fun having everyone fill out these personal message cards for baby Goldberg. There was so much love shared through these sweet notes! – I hope that you love – I hope you always- I hope you never forget – I hope you learn – I hope you get your mama’s – I hope you get your dad’s – I hope you become –

I am so lucky to have a local urban farm right in my neighborhood! Joy House Blooms supplied us with the most GORGEOUS selection of flowers which we used to create a “floral bar”. Guests were encouraged to make their own arrangements that they could take back home with them using this amazing selection of flowers!

The place cards used to identify the flowers looked so good here! The colors, the place cards, the flowers, the mason jars- it’s all just perfection!

Our dogs definitely tried to steal the spotlight during the gift opening. They’re the cutest little attention stealers though aren’t they?

This will be a day I will always cherish. My sister is like my right hand. White Ink wouldn’t be what it is today without her diligence and dedication. But making me an aunt is the best gift by far! I can’t wait to meet baby Goldberg.

Florals on Invitation Suites- Why they work.

Florals on Invitation Suites- Why they work.

Wedding invitations are one of the first things couples put together while planning their wedding. Invites are a powerful piece to an event because it’s the first time guests get to have a little taste of what’s to come. Invites are a wedding’s first impression! As one can imagine, the task of picking the right one can sometimes seem impossible. This is where we come in! White Ink is equipped with the right tools and the right experience to customize our couple’s invitations suites to fit like a glove. And we want to bring you in on a little invitation detail that never disappoints- Florals! Here’s why we think florals on invitation suites can make a wedding blossom.

Florals are Timeless.

Trust me, no matter the season, location, year, or decade, floral prints remain the powerhouse of prints that never go out of style. The beauty of the flower is something that people have always understood making this an ageless detail forever standing the test of time.

Florals are Seasonally Appropriate.

From winter weddings to springtime nuptials, there are florals for every season. I love when couples choose to add in seasonal floral details to match the season of their wedding day. It’s a clever thought and especially meaningful.

Florals on Invites Tie Together Wedding Day Florals.

This is a wedding detail that can truly come full circle. Many times, couples will use their invitation suites as an opportunity to showcase the very flowers that will adorn the venue on their big day. This type of attention to detail has an undeniable wow factor.

Florals Can Have a Personal Touch.

Add a personal touch to an invitation suite by using a print of florals from the region you grew up in or flowers from the spot where you got engaged. There have been numerous White Ink couples that have chosen floral prints for their invites that are symbolic to them in very personal ways. It’s always so touching when we get to be a part of those particularly special details.

Florals Are Versatile.

This is probably my favorite part about floral prints. Whether our couples’ styles are traditional, contemporary, minimal or upscale, there is a floral print that goes with it! Make a bold statement with a big pop of florals on your invitation suite or delicately elevate your invite with a branch of evergreen. With an endless variety of floral prints that can be created, you cannot go wrong, I promise.

I truly enjoy helping our White Ink couples customize invitation suites like these. Remember, when it comes to your wedding, you are the one with the vision; and want to help it come true! If you are thinking of including florals on your wedding invites, I think we’ve got a couple of ideas up our sleeve! We can’t wait to connect with you.
