Sometimes, a client’s dream wedding turns into our dream wedding! The moment our sweet couple, Sam and Landon, asked White Ink to take part in elevating their Country Music Hall of Fame wedding details, I realized that this wedding was going to be incredibly memorable for our team. And indeed, it was! We had the honor of helping to showcase Sam and Landon’s style with purpose and authenticity by creating their custom Nashville wedding details.
For starters, our couple’s wedding suite embraced a style that was bold and uniquely “Nashville.” I love the sharpness of the invite, complete with a heavy stock, wedding paper and letter pressed font.
Take a moment to soak in the amazing work of the talented Katie Kime! She provided the custom artwork on the envelope liners which depict iconic Nashville favorites like Jonny and June, The Loveless Cafe, The Country Music Hall of Fame, and even the “Batman Building.” Details like this truly set the tone for your wedding guests and create a memorable experience. I just love this details!
Sam and Landon’s save-the-date boasted the same polished look as the invitation suite including the letter pressed font and print of the Country Music Hall of Fame. (Side note: I can never get enough of how beautiful the vintage postage is!)
Wedding Welcome Sign and Program Details
This wedding welcome sign spoke volumes and was a complete showstopper. From the texture to the font to the overall framing of the display, this piece was impressive to say the least.
Simplicity goes a long way with these program details. A gentle font and color against a soft white paper was perfectly inviting for Sam and Landon’s guests. I love getting a peep of little details that are laced throughout the day like the cute little wedding bells on this custom water bottle. The same wedding bell print that we used for the wedding details card in the invitation suite.
Elegant Seating Chart Display
I am so happy to show off what my team created for Sam and Landon’s seating chart! Putting this seating chart wall together on site was an accomplishment. One that I adore! The sleek oval escort cards with hanging tassels were just so beautiful to see. This display wowed the guests and was yet another reflection of Sam and Landon’s elegant style.
Custom Laser-Cut Signature Cocktail Signs
For cocktail hour, we rolled up our sleeves to do one of our favorite things: custom laser-cuts! We designed several table signs to add to the uniqueness of our couple’s unforgettable day. I love how this turned out and how well it fit into the style of the entire event.
However, it’s the custom cocktail stirrers for me! These little guys were so fun to make. The “H” initial stands out so perfectly along with the date. This is a great example of a small detail that packs a huge punch. It’s things like this that your guests never forget!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how adorable Sam and Landon’s pup looks printed on these custom cocktail napkins? Cocktail hour is a great opportunity to pull in really special details of our lives- like pets! I could look at this face all day!
A Penny For Your Thoughts
Guests took the time to share their best advice on marriage and give well wishes as Sam and Landon created a space for “A penny for your thoughts.” This was a fun and clever way to include each guest as well as receive some welcomed advice from their closest friends and family! We were happy to be included by creating yet another one-of-a-kind laser-cut custom table sign.
The custom signage was carried throughout the reception. Doing this can truly elevate the theme and help carry the tone of a room. The arched table numbers worked perfectly with the delicate tablescapes, and their texture offered a wonderful balance to the vibrant florals all around. Such an incredibly impressive look!
Sidenote: I still think about this floral chandelier more often than I care to admit. I mean, wow! This was such a stunning wedding in so many ways and this chandelier was a showstopper!
Custom Nashville Wedding Details
White Ink designed Sam and Landon’s reception menus that fit perfectly on top of the custom laser-cut settings we created as well! The gold wax seal to top the menu pulled this entire place setting together with the added bonus of the matching table numbers and table signage throughout. When it comes to lacing details throughout an event, THIS is how it’s done.
Peep the cute wedding bell prints making another appearance! This time, at the end of the night when guests were offered a yummy snack of burgers and fries. From invitation suite to burger box, this wedding bell print fit right in!
Wedding Welcome Party Details
I don’t want to wrap up without showing you guys a couple of the day-before details that White Ink did for Sam and Landon’s Wedding Welcome Party. Wedding parties and wedding rehearsal dinners are the perfect time to have fun with details and create a more intimate tone.
Sam and Landon wanted us to create table numbers for the welcome party that included pictures of them being the same age as the number on the sign. As you can see above, here are Sam and Landon at ages 7 and 8. Is this not the sweetest thing ever? It meant a lot to be able to provide these special table numbers for them!
We also created a few more day-before details for Sam and Landon’s wedding welcome party. It was an honor to create items like their seating chart and the most adorable little matchboxes for the guests to take along with them. Putting in the extra effort in these more intimate settings really shows those closest to you, that they are appreciated and that you were thinking of them, which is really special!
To the happy couple, we hope you enjoy lots of love and adventure, and continue soaking in all the finer details around you! Cheers to you both!

Once again, we found ourselves back at the iconic Country Music Hall of Fame, this time to honor and celebrate this seriously gorgeous White Ink couple, Hannah and Zach. Style and texture effortlessly danced together at this stunning wedding reception. I’m beyond thrilled to share another White Ink gem with you guys!
Column Seating Chart
For starters, Hill Event Rentals really outdid themselves when it came to constructing this one-of-a-kind seating chart where White Ink printed names of each guest. (I’m here for a solid collab!) If a couple wants to find a spot in their reception where they can have fun and step outside of traditional style, seating charts are the perfect place to start.
These columns not only add dimension but also command attention. Guests were unsurprisingly wowed by this stunning seating chart. I love that the couple styled the bold display with soft candlelight and delicate white florals, setting the tone for an elegant evening.
When I say these seating chart column displays commanded attention, they did just that. I am all for going big for your wedding! Dream big and go for it!
Stone Table Numbers
Often times, couples prefer a table number style from our rental collection, which will fit unassumingly into their tablescape design. Table numbers usually play a very important, but quiet part in a table setting. However, sometimes, you just want to stand out! No one did this better than Hannah and Zach. They chose to use an organic stoned table number for each of their tables to guide guests to their seats. Talk about a conversation piece! Such a unique and fun piece!
A Wedding Reception of Style and Texture
Note how the difference in the textures in this tablescape design provides a bold and delicate balance to the aesthetic of the room. The soft white florals, linen, and organic stoned table numbers all work together like a dream.
Fabric Bar Menu Sign
Texture was having a MOMENT at this unforgettable reception, ya’ll. I love showing up for my clients and assisting with unique styles and items . I especially love a chance to remind people that yes, we do calligraphy, but it is SO much more that! We are in the business of turning your vision into a reality-whatever that looks like. I am simply in love with this hanging fabric bar sign that we did.
Using fabric in this way can take a simple bar aesthetic and elevate it instantly. Modern and sophisticated is the message here, and I just cannot get enough.
The stone signage carried over into one of the most thoughtful guest book tables we have seen. The wording on the stones read “Please Sign Our Bible” and “Pick a Verse, Leave a Note, Sign Your Name.” I thought this is a particularly touching way for couples of faiths to keep it close to their hearts. I imagine those sweet notes are filled with positivity and light.
Here’s to the uniqueness of each of our couples. Here’s to the memories we get to make alongside them. And here’s to every little letter we create that helps bring their vision to life. Each one is written on our hearts. You could say, it’s written in stone. Cheers!

Kayla and Caleb’s elevated Nashville Symphony wedding was an absolute dream! This picturesque event of classic and timeless details was something you just couldn’t take your eyes off of. From the gothic style architecture of Scarritt Bennett’s Wightman Chapel to the grandeur of Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, there wasn’t a stone left unturned as Kayla and Caleb carefully placed together one of the best Nashville weddings White Ink has seen. Contributing these stunning details and being a part of such a memorable wedding was an absolute honor. Hopefully you can take away some serious wedding inspo from this gorgeous day!
We designed our couple’s wedding invitation suite to embody the elegance of their big day. A custom monogram delicately stood out on the beautiful card stock. I loved adding the extra touch of using a custom, monogram, gold, wax seal for the envelopes. These are small details that pack a big impression!
Wedding Programs
What sets White Ink apart from big box paper retailers is our personalized, hands-on approach. Taking out the guesswork is part of what we do best. From knowing exactly what to include in your programs to advising on quantity, size, and where to “splurge”, we guide you every step of the way. We even help incorporate meaningful elements from your invitation suite to tie everything together. With years of experience and a deep understanding of event-day details, we ensure you get exactly what you need!
Elevated Nashville Symphony Wedding Reception
It’s hard to top the simple elegance a mirrored seating chart. I have always loved how the white lettering on the glass instantly elevates the beauty of this double-rib framed mirror. Kayla and Caleb styled this gorgeous seating chart with florals (always a good idea!) and surrounded it with glass vases holding floating candles. I can’t think of a better way to be invited to take my seat at a table in the opulent Schermerhorn. Divine!
The most elegant part to these custom designed reception menus is that each menu had the guests’ names calligraphed directly on to them. This is why I love what I do! I love when my couples give me the chance to really elevate the finer details of their reception. And yes, guests DO notice little things just like this and often appreciate the level of attention.
Custom Bar Signs and Cocktail Napkins
Kayla and Caleb went with one of my favorite bar signs from our rental collection. We customized the drink menu to fit with the style of all other day-of paper goods as well as the invitation suite. Also, please take a moment to gush over the print of their sweet pup, Cash, on the cocktail napkins! Cocktail napkins are the perfect moment to bring in something special or personal to your big day. And it’s a detail that will be cherished forever.
I think one of the most appreciated details of the evening were these adorable koozies that we customized for Kayla and Caleb! They once again took time to personalize an item that guests were able to use and enjoy. It was the perfect little koozie for guests to use with their drinks while they let loose on the Schermerhorn dance floor! I couldn’t love this more.
For the White Ink team, this was a night to remember. Nights like this make us proud to do what we do. We love making our couples happy! Kayla and Caleb were an amazing couple to work with. They knew exactly what they wanted and trusted us to pull their vision together. And we are honored to do just that. Cheers to the happy couple!

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!
White Ink also created the custom cocktail sign using the same frosted acrylic as the wedding welcome sign. YES to matching signage!
The table signage, place cards, and escort cards were not left out of this lavender garden-inspired theme. Look at how well all of the finer details fit together! Also, notice more of the tuber rose print throughout. I’m obsessed.
Summer Lavender-Inspired Menus
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!

Nashville is widely celebrated as the birthplace of country music. When you’re here, you don’t have to go very far before you start to hear sounds of strumming and people bearing their hearts and souls through the words and the meanings of this thing they call country. If this is your jam, we are excited to bring you downtown with us to see how White Ink couple, Lindsey and Carson, created their downtown Nashville dream wedding surrounded by the iconic collections that live inside of Nashville’s very own Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Check out how we played a part in creating details that helped tie this beautiful Nashville wedding together.
It’s easy to tell when a couple takes time and care in selecting the finer details of their wedding. Lindsey and Carson are an exceptional team and were so fun to work with because they took care in choosing what they wanted for their big day.
Downtown Nashville Dream Wedding
This arched wedding welcome sign is definitely one of my favorites from our collection. I love the all-white look; it fits into nearly any style and makes the perfect canvas for displaying florals or really any other designing element that you would want to tie together throughout the day.
The beautiful floral designs that Lindsey and Carson chose were laced throughout the ceremony and reception, including the wedding welcome sign.
Reception Details
It’s fun when we get to focus our attention on the reception too! I can’t begin to tell you guys how cool it is to be a part of so many amazing seating chart designs and ideas.
This seating chart just makes me smile – I don’t know how else to put it. I mean, the muted, soft gray with florals cascading all around. I really love how delicate the white ink looks against this color and how the greenery pops from behind the acrylic of the seating signage. Perfectly magical.
Our couple chose our white arched table number signs in black ink. Not only did these little beauties match the shape and color of the arched wedding welcome sign, but they also blended perfectly into the stunning tablescapes!
Custom Menu + Place Cards
White Ink also designed Lindsey and Carson’s custom menus for the reception that were perfectly tucked into the napkins at the formal place settings. We also created the most adorable little oval place cards with tassels that went alongside the custom menus. I love when details are both adorable and functional!
The word “Dinner” peeks out from the napkin leaving this custom menu sleek and inviting.
“Grab a Drink but your place is on the Dance Floor,” is the kind of guidance I need to encourage me to let my hair down and hit the dance floor. I love added humor into signage like this, very fun and highly appropriate.
Let’s be honest, late night snacks are the real MVPs of wedding receptions and we all know it! I’m so happy we were able to make a sign for these little lifesavers.
When it comes to Nashville, you may be here for the country, or you may be here for a good time. Lindsey and Carson made sure to have both and that’s what keeps us always coming back for more. To this amazing couple, may there be more just like you with nights just like this. Cheers, ya’ll!

For those that may not know, I serve on the board of directors as the Director of Community Service for the Nashville chapter of the Wedding International Professionals Association also known as, WIPA. WIPA first began in 2008 in South Carolina. Their goal was to create an association that could genuinely represent this unique community of professionals and offer opportunities to connect with each other, effectively setting the standard for wedding vendors and professionals. Today, WIPA is a global community and I’m so proud of what our Nashville chapter has been able to accomplish!
This past May, WIPA Nashville hosted an amazing event for WIPA members to come and celebrate each other, learn more about boosting our businesses, and make lasting connections throughout the wedding industry. I want to show you a peek inside this fun-filled event at the new Four Seasons Hotel Nashville that left us all eager to sign up for next gathering!
Of course, you know White Ink had to show up to the party! We supplied the event with paper goods and signage that included my laser debut! I sharpened my laser cutting skills with this super chic and fun wooden bar sign design.
After enjoying cocktails with a view (can’t go wrong with a rooftop pool and that Nashville skyline), folks were invited to find their tables with these adorable escort cards we personalized for each guest. An eye-catching hedge wall made these guys stand out so well. Love it!
I had so much fun with the menu design. Yes, more laser cutting! I especially loved getting to match the menu design with the bar sign. So proud of how these turned out!
White Ink provided the table numbers and place cards. The decor and tablescapes for this event look absolutely stunning in the Four Seasons grand ballroom!
There were so many connections made throughout the evening. Many people took time to speak and tell their stories and open up about business in Nashville’s booming wedding industry. Guest speaker, Jullianne Smith with The Garter Girl gave a wonderful presentation on how to effectively use Pinterest to boost your business! People coming together in this capacity is what WIPA is all about.
This event wasn’t just about connection. As the Director of Community Service, I had the honor of selecting a non-profit partnership that would benefit from our WIPA Nashville evening. We were able to raise over $1,000.00 for Shower the People, a nonprofit organization that offers shower and laundry services for people in Nashville experiencing homelessness. We were happy to not only raise money for this invaluable organization, but also raise awareness to this growing need in our local communities.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed support! I am proud to be a part of such a warm and inviting group of professionals that are really more like family. Staying connected is how we stick together. Until next time!
