This elevated pink-inspired wedding at Diamond Creek Farms was a dream come true – especially for a bride who adores all things pink. Designed with sophistication and charm, this celebration was nothing short of spectacular. It was an honor to contribute our custom stationery and signage to such a spectacular event.
The incredible planner, Annie Weir of Elizabeth Events who helped bring the bride’s fun vision to life is one that we’ve had the privilege of working with since White Ink Calligraphy + Co, started eight years ago. She has an unmatched ability to make wedding dreams a reality, and this wedding was no exception. The execution of all the details was flawless.
The Stunning Invitation Suite
To set the tone for this unforgettable wedding, we designed an elegant invitation suite that was equal parts timeless and trendy. The suite featured:
A main invitation with spot calligraphy
Envelope calligraphy
A custom envelope liner that featured soft pink floral designs
A pearlized pink wax seal
A vellum bellyband
An attire card with the bold pink dress code request – more on that below!
A details card featuring fun icons and a note about a digital RSVP
We designed every element of the suite to reflect the bride’s personality and vision for the wedding. Cream and blush tones came together to create this elegant suite along with our custom touches!
Pink Attire Request Worthy of Its Own Card
While most weddings include an attire note on the main invitation, this wedding called for something extra special. The fun and girly bride’s love for pink wasn’t just reflected in the details—it was a core theme of the entire event. To highlight this theme, she wanted all the guests to wear pink. To emphasize this fun request, we designed separate attire cards that read: Black Tie Attire, Pink is Required. Let me just say, the guests absolutely delivered! From soft blush tones to bold pink hues, the guest attire was nothing short of fabulous.
The bridesmaids looked stunning in dresses of varying styles and shades of pink, creating a cohesive yet dynamic bridal party aesthetic. Meanwhile, the bride stood out in her gorgeous white gown with sheer details in the front, holding a bouquet of soft pinks and whites.
Welcome Sign + Seating Chart
The reception space was STUNNING. Floral centerpieces, flickering candles, and white and pink plates that made the place setting pop decorated dusty pink tablecloths. White Ink Calligraphy created the large white welcome sign to greet guests as they arrived. The sign sat against a wall of greenery accented with pink and white flowers.
For the seating chart, we took a creative approach! We created a shelving building that held tombstone-cut acrylic pieces and small pink vases with white and pink flowers. It was such a beautiful display that added to the overall elevated pink theme.
A Celebration to Remember
As the night came to a close, the bride made a final, show-stopping outfit change—slipping into a chic hot pink dress for the grand send-off. It was the perfect ending to a wedding filled with love, personality, and of course, all things pink! This incredible wedding even made the cover of Nashville Lifestyles Wedding Magazine’s most recent issue—a true testament to its beauty and uniqueness.
Designing these custom pieces for this elevated pink-inspired wedding was an absolute joy.

A custom wedding invitation is as unique to a couple as a fingerprint. It belongs to them and there is simply no other invite like it.
White Ink has been specializing in custom invites for several years. And each process is as exciting as the one before. Seeing our brides and grooms incorporate distinctive and meaningful details into their wedding invitations and make their visions come to life is easily the best part of our job.
The custom invitation suite we created for White Ink couple, Alyssa and Jared, is a beautiful example of what it looks like when we pull together unique textures, tones, florals, and calligraphy that speak to the personality of a couple and what inspires them.
“Nothing says ‘timeless southern wedding’ more than blue and white hydrangeas.”
What Inspires a Custom Wedding Invitation Suite?
The inspiration behind the design of custom wedding invitations aims to reflect the theme of a client’s big day. For Alyssa and Jared, that meant choosing details that could blend perfectly into their end-of-summer, southern nuptials which included a gorgeous summer wedding reception at the iconic Hermitage Hotel in Nashville. Nothing says “timeless southern wedding” more than blue and white hydrangeas!
From top to bottom, the entire suite is giving southern living with a kiss of Nantucket floral vibes! Each layer is an absolute treat for the eyes with florals peeking from every corner.
If you’re familiar with the motif of a traditional southern wedding, you’ll know that more is always better- especially when it comes to florals! This invitation suite did not disappoint. From the envelope liner to the vellum gatefold, these invites are blooming with summery, southern florals.
By giving us an in-depth dive into the details and design of the grandmillenial aesthetic of their wedding, Alyssa and Jared were able to achieve the classic elements and charm they envisioned for their custom wedding invitations. We work closely with our couples to make each project nothing short of special.
It’s all in the Details.
We are thrilled when it’s time to roll up our sleeves and begin the process of designing the custom wedding invitation of our clients dream. This is what we love to do and it’s why we’re here!
Let’s get into details that perfectly pulled Alyssa and Jared’s invitation suite together to pair with their classic southern, summer wedding day.
Spot calligraphy in dark blue ink addressed the dusty-blue toned envelopes.
We created the dark blue envelope liner that boasted baby blue and white summer florals. Envelope liners are always an eye-catching experience for guests!
A vellum gatefold is used to clutch the invitation suite. The soft transparent texture complete with southern florals easily elevates the elegance of the invites.
A custom wax seal added to the charm and texture of the vellum gatefold.
The custom monogram located atop the main invitation is digitally printed. Customized invitation artwork like this can pack a powerful punch in the uniqueness of an invitation suite.
The lettering throughout the invitation suite is done in a soft silver hue using thermography text- a process that is used to mimic the look of engraved lettering.
Thermography- Did you Know?
Thermographic printing is a printing technique that uses heat to slightly raise the lettering off of paper or cardstock adding to the texture and finish of an invite. It’s like adding an instant layer of luxury to your invitation suite!
When it comes to custom wedding invitations, White Ink has you covered. We have extensive experience in what it takes to create the exact invite our clients envision. Whether the theme is boho chic or traditionally southern, we know how to make an invitation suite that is uniquely you!

The September sky gave way to one of the most gorgeous and memorable weddings we’ve put our touch on. And it couldn’t have happened to a sweeter couple. Getting to watch these nuptials unfold at the Boston Public Library was the cherry on top! Georgi and Jason put together an amazing wedding and as thrilled as we were to be a part of it all, we hated to see the day come to an end. Couples like this, with weddings like this one, are something we keep close to our hearts.
The detail that I just can’t get over- Georgi’s veil alone was enough to stop us in our tracks. Draped gently behind her long dark hair, this stunning piece was having a moment!
Georgi and Jason’s invitation suite boasted a seamless balance of delicate and bold features. Full calligraphy done in rose gold ink complimented the black envelopes beautifully. The invitation suite was letter-pressed with spot calligraphy on stock paper and elevated with a beautiful black, vellum overlay which included a custom sketch of the Boston Public Library! Vintage postage and a custom rose gold wax seal completed this impeccable design.
White Ink was honored to add to the breathtaking staircase entrance of this unforgettable venue. The sharp black wedding welcome sign topped with white lettering, stood out against an impressive array of florals and lit candles which demanded the attention of each guest as they passed by.
Just as Georgi and Jason’s invitation suite and wedding welcome sign harnessed a delicate boldness, so did the table numbers which sat perfectly into the formal tablescape for their reception. There are times when table signage takes an unassuming role among the tablescape, but then there are moments when table signs play an important part in grabbing the guest’s attention. These sharp lines and block signage with gold numbers set against the soft florals and candles and white linen offered a uniquely formal taste and modern/chic appearance to the 170-year-old venue. A detail which was beautifully and purposefully done.
We love our Nashville couples, that’s no secret. But getting to meet our couples where they are is something we cherish and are always honored to do. Finding ourselves at the Boston Public Library in the presence of Georgi and Jason along with their closest family and friends was an incredible moment for us at White Ink. I am so moved to have been a part of this incredible journey with the perfect couple. To Georgi and Jason, thanks for the memories that will last forever. Cheers!
There is an old proverb that says, “A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.” Within the pages of a book one can find beauty, power, and adventure that is universally understood. This is something that book lovers far and wide keep close to their hearts. And for our couple, Christy and Oliver, nothing was more fitting than being surrounded by an array of literature on their big day. White Ink was honored to be invited to the Nashville Public Library to help our bride and groom turn the page as they stepped into a new chapter of their lives!
For starters, I want to share this fantastic invitation suite with you! Complete with keepsake tasseled bookmarks and a custom sketch of the Nashville Public Library. These invites are just…. everything.
White Ink designed Christy and Oliver’s reception menus to look like vintage library book check-out cards! Is this not THE most perfect thing for a wedding at a library?! I love when our couples invite us to have fun in creating these parts of their wedding details. This is one that our team will always remember!
Guests were wowed with the seating chart we helped bring together for our bride and groom. The escort cards doubled as keepsake bookmarks! This event was clever from start to finish with so many details like this being carried throughout. These are things that guests ALWAYS notice and remember for a long time.
I can’t get enough of this black and white checkered flooring and how well it makes this seating chart pop!
When your reception is in the middle of a gorgeous library, a simple touch of elegance is enough to seriously elevate the look and decor of the room. Classic black, calligraphed table numbers nestled on top of the bright white table linen was the chef’s kiss to this tablescape. Dreamy, classy, smart.
Custom place cards sat at the head of each place setting for Christy and Oliver’s reception. When it comes to impressing your guests and making them feel like they were a big part of your event planning, place cards truly take the cake! It is a very personal and intentional detail that has a big impact on the person sitting in front of it. I love it when a couple appreciates details like these. Peep those adorable check-out card menus!
Christy and Oliver were an absolute delight to work with and we are forever grateful to get the chance to help elevate some of the most meaningful details of the day. Just like the guests, I know I will be talking about this wedding for a long time to come. For the White Ink team, this wedding was one… for the books.
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! I was honored that they invited White Ink to take part in delivering a rehearsal to remember!
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. I especially love that the floral print we used on the rehearsal invite liner was also used when customizing the table number signs for this beautiful couple.
I always love to see that gorgeous dusty blue hue. Our couple incorporated this color throughout the entire evening, and I simply didn’t get enough of it.
Notice the “C.E.” monogram sporting more gorgeous blue summer floral prints on both the custom Rehearsal Dinner menu and invite.
Cason and Eddie chose the ever-stunning Noelle in Nashville to welcome their close friends and family to their wedding celebrations. White Ink 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,” 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 monogramed 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.
The table numbers fit perfectly into the stunning formal tablescapes in the Noelle’s Sadiee Gallery Grand Ballroom. They simple belonged in this room!
The place cards elevated the show-stopping tablescape and fit effortlessly alongside the goldware at each place setting. This is a perfect example of how one seemingly small detail can really pack a big decor punch!
Classic display of the custom menu we designed 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!
We were honored to join our couple, Cason and Eddie, in one of the most meaningful nights of their lives! They made sure that their family and wedding party received a proper welcome. We cannot wait to share more details about their wedding day too! For now, we will hold on to memories that were made “The Night Before.”
He’s making a list and checkin’ it twice! We are gearing up to roll out our very popular Letters from Santa!
A Christmas tradition for many children around the world is getting to sit down and write their letter to Santa! You may have even done this yourself as a child, listing your favorite toys, games and treats in hopes of getting what you “wish” for. This rite of passage plays an important role in the magic of celebrating Christmas. If this is a tradition that your family likes to take part in, then we are so excited to share what White Ink has for you!
We think that writing to the North Pole doesn’t have to be a one-way street. This is our favorite time of year because we finally get to offer our “Letters from Santa”! And they are SO much fun! These letters are the perfect way to add to the joy that children delightfully dive into during this time of year.
Each of our letters from Santa includes custom calligraphy on the front of the envelope showing your child’s name. The envelopes are beautifully lined with a properly seasonal tartan plaid liner which always delivers that “holiday feel”. Inside, your child will find their card from Santa Claus confirming that they made it to the Nice List! (Phew!)
The letter is sealed with a Santa monogram wax seal. And finally, each letter from Santa will be complete with vintage Christmas postage. Of course, the postage will be stamped by the North Pole because it totally came from there! Don’t worry though, we will mail your letter in a white flat mailer addressed to you (NOT your child). You get to choose the perfect time for your little one to discover that Santa has a big surprise for them, and it’s not even Christmas yet!
We are excited to add that Santa has updated his desk stationary! This year, White Ink is offering a chance for parents to get in on the fun by including a “Naughty List” card this holiday season. If you’re looking for a cheeky way to bring a laugh to a spouse, friend or family, send them a letter from the jolly old man himself and enjoy the smile it brings to them.
The only thing that could make this any better is adding our adorable little gift tags from the North Pole, more importantly, from Santa! This is just another small detail that can keep the magic going all the way to Christmas Day! Place these onto the gifts that the “elves” worked so hard to make as an official gift from Santa. I especially love the holly floral print on these little guys!
For the kids (and parents) who are still fully wrapped in the magic and enchantment of the holidays, receiving a letter from Santa Claus is sure to leave a lasting impression. Christmas isn’t just a time of year, it’s a feeling. A child will never forget what it felt like to open the letter that Santa wrote just for them. And White Ink is proud to make this happen for your sweet kiddos and family. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
