There is something really special about getting to be a part of an entire wedding process all the way from the invitation suites down to the monogrammed wax seals on the menu cards. It means so much to us at White Ink when our brides and grooms trust us to help bring their big day to life! It’s why we’re here, and it’s why we’re never leaving. I hope you enjoy the beautiful recap of Elizabeth and James’s wedding day as much as we enjoyed being a part of it.
We made our way to the stunning Cordelle in downtown Nashville to help bring together the finer details of Elizabeth and James unforgettable wedding day. The energy from this couple was genuine and light. They were such a delight to work with the entire way.
We’ll start with the invitation suite. Each detail was carefully selected. Spot Calligraphy, vintage postage, hand-made paper with custom monogram (my personal favorite), envelope calligraphy, all wrapped in a delicate black velvet ribbon and tucked into the always classy dusty-blue hue envelopes. I am on cloud nine every time I look at these beauties. Simply stunning! Fun fact: dusty blue has been one of our most popular colors this year by far.
“Welcome to our Wedding,” simply put and warmly welcoming, the welcome sign we did for Elizabeth and James was elegant and perfectly placed inside this timeless, ornamented frame. Fun tip: mirrors will work with absolutely ANY event style- I promise.
White Ink created the chic program for our couple’s nuptials. You can see the same black velvet ribbon that bound the gorgeous invitation suites was also used around Elizabeth and James’s ceremony programs. Raise your hand if you love details that can carry over!
Another beautifully mirrored sign in a thick, distressed, gold ornamented frame that we used for the couple’s seating chart. “Our Favorite People” is quickly becoming one of my favorite titles for seating charts. So warm and inviting!
White Ink menus are always top-notch menus. The best part about working with Elizabeth and James is how they really wanted to tie together so many delicate details. They chose to use the same hand-made paper for their menus that was also used to create their invitation suites. A solid decision for a bold and timeless wedding. The wax seal used to combine the place cards and menus boasts a custom monogram as well. Fun tip: Elevate your place cards with custom spot calligraphy.
We also supplied Elizabeth and James with our super sleek table numbers that fit effortlessly into the dreamy tablescape.
If you don’t think disco balls and custom monograms belong together, I’m here to tell you- Oh yes, they do! The monogram we used with the handmade invite paper was carried over to the dance floor, illuminated by a chandelier of disco balls. I can’t stop looking. This is just the best thing ever and really gives you a peek into the fun energetic style of our beautiful couple.
I am so happy we finally got a chance to bring you into one of the most fun nights we’ve had in a long time. Elizabeth and James allowed us to show off our creativity and interlace this entire journey with distinctive details and style. They made my job easy, and I love my job! Cheers!
I want to say, whenever our couples take the time to include different textures in their wedding details it is ALWAYS worth the effort. Any creative knows that layered textures are sure to elevate an event. I’m excited to show you what White Ink created for Mae and Casey on their big day!
For starters, the home our couple chose as their venue was the most eye-pleasing, awe-inspiring place. There was no shortage of ivy laced brick, beautiful archways, iron gates or spiral staircases; I could go on and on. Fun fact: this home was also filmed in the show, “Nashville”, for all of you fans out there.
White Ink was thrilled when Mae and Casey asked us to put our own touch on this one-of-a-kind wedding. One of the best things about being a part of it all was getting to show the true beauty behind layering textures. Notice how the custom designed menu was displayed: heavy wooden table, gold rimmed glass charger, soft linen, rounded edged menu with spot calligraphy, and an olive branch all tied together with a single piece of twine. Whew! Now that is how you impress your guests using texture! This display at Mae and Casey’s reception embodied the perfect mixture of bold and gentle to make the dreamiest styled tablescape we have seen in a long time.
Check out this seating chart! Have you ever seen glass so perfectly placed? I mean this looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale! These gorgeous, gold-trimmed standing mirrors rested softly against iron gates and sat on a cushy bed of moss that was growing atop the stone floors and walls. (I mean, I love that I even get to say that sentence.) Again, layered texture for the win! I love seeing White Ink’s work used like this. It’s just so satisfying.
I was excited that Mae and Casey chose one of our card boxes from our extensive rental collection. This particular card box is gold trimmed and went flawlessly together with all of the gold accented décor throughout the ceremony and reception. The table numbers we provided for them were complete with gold flake corners and lettering, as well as the beautiful cocktail signage all done in gold ink calligraphy.
We love watching our couples piece their wedding day together and we love even more that we get to be such a big part of that. And when it comes to using lots of texture, don’t be afraid of it. It might be exactly what you’re looking for!
Hey guys! We want to bring you into our event signage process and show you a little bit about what creating your event sign with White Ink Calligraphy looks like. Whatever you are hosting or planning, we are well equipped and have everything on hand to tie your details together with the perfect sign.
“Why is event signage important?” Because it is not only decorative, it’s functional! You wouldn’t be expected to drive on a road without signs to guide you or explain a little bit about your surroundings. So, why would we do that to our guests? From table numbers to seating charts, to bar signs, guests can be confident about the goings on of an event because of the information our custom signage subtlety provides for them.
Our sweet couple, Camille and Daniel, asked White Ink to help provide their wedding guests with lots of great signage throughout their wedding day at Long Hollow Gardens. This gorgeous venue in Gallatin, Tennessee covers a lot of ground and has a lot to offer. So, bringing in signs to keep the crowd headed in the right direction and staying well-informed was a must and a very considerate addition to their big day!
White Ink put together some gorgeous pieces for Camille and Daniel. A customized seating chart, wedding welcome sign, and bar menu were just the start. We also provided our popular acrylic table numbers as well as one of our favorite items- the signage for the couple’s memorial table.
“How do we get started?” First, our clients will look over White Ink’s Request a Quote Form where they can fill us in on the types of event signage they’re looking for and provide the day-of details. From there, folks can view our inventory of rentals in the White Ink collection that are available; or they can choose to use their own signs that we can customize! On this form, we try to get ALL of the info we can in order to give clients the most accurate quote. If they aren’t sure about what signs are best for an event, we can help with that! Clients can even upload pics of some event signage inspo for us to see!
We also ensure the perfect way to get your event signs to you. Whether it’s coordinating with your planner for pick up or arranging the right time for your signage to be delivered, we’ve got you! Our team is the best at what we do. So, what’s your sign?
We are honored to help clients like Camille and Daniel achieve the wedding of their dreams. And we love the signs they chose to use on their big day! The White Ink team was happy to get to work for them and give them exactly the signs they were looking for. Cheers to this amazing couple!
Being given the opportunity to truly tap into my creative side makes me feel as free as the bubbles floating to the top of a champagne flute. The White Ink team was invited to take part in some seriously showstopping details for the wedding of our amazing couple, Molly and Killian.
Aside from making their vows at the former home of Reba McEntire, our couple wowed their guests with custom wedding details and designs that would be the topic of conversation for a long time to come.
Let’s jump right in to the seating chart wall, shall we? I mean LOOK at this gorgeous wall! If you want to make an impression, seating charts are a great place to start. White Ink designed the custom, laser-cut calligraphy title “Sip and Be Seated” for this showstopper of a seating chart.
Next, we created the escort cards to slip over the champagne flutes that lined the entire wall. (I love that I get to say that sentence). I appreciate the duality of using this wall as a way to seat your guests and get the cocktail hour started. Very clever!
White Ink customized Molly and Killian’s mirrored wedding welcome sign which was beautifully paired with florals that spilled over the edges. I honestly love when couples use their florals with signage like this. It’s always such a fantastic balance of softness and elegance.
Molly and Killian chose to use our table numbers that were designed with gold ink and completed with gold foil edges. These table numbers are some of my favorites from the White Ink collection!
Want to know what’s kind of the cutest thing ever? Bathroom selfie lettering! Imagine taking a moment for a quick wardrobe check and being greeted with the message, “Hey gorgeous, get back on the dance floor” written on the bathroom mirror. You wouldn’t have to tell me twice! Wedding receptions need this energy.
White Ink completed this dreamboat of a wedding by creating custom cocktail lettering! These are so, so fun to make. I absolutely love getting to do orders like this, partly because I know how much people are going to enjoy it. I promise you if this is ever something you choose to add to your cocktail hour, your guests will be impressed!
Cheers to the happy couple! And thank you for all the timeless wedding inspo!
Every once in a while, our team at White Ink gets to be a part of some incredibly unique projects for our amazing brides and grooms. Neeka and Nick asked us to be a part of making their dream wedding stand out in a way we will always remember.
This Chicago couple came down to Twin Falls at Rock Island Tennessee State Park to say, “I do”. We are so happy they did, because this wedding day definitely made its mark on our hearts!
After an unforgettable ceremony held in front of a WATERFALL, this sweet pair celebrated their nuptials with friends and family in an intimate reception at the lovely Cookeville Estate.
White Ink was happy to customize their mirrored wedding welcome sign that greeted each guest with the lettering “And so, our adventure begins.” I love the peace that comes after reading a message like this one, and it was the perfect fit for Neeka and Nick!
Perhaps one of the most moving details of this Tennessee wedding was how Neeka and Nick chose to remember a very important day in our nation’s history. Their wedding day fell on the 20th anniversary of the terrible events that occurred on September 11th. This poignant moment was not lost on our couple. They chose to honor this day and the lives that were lost by having a Remembrance Table at their reception. I was given the incredible honor of penning a custom letter that was displayed on this table.
The powerful gesture to hold space for those who lost their lives as victims or as first responders on September 11th was the most incredible tribute I’ve seen at a wedding. As Neeka and Nick put it, we are “Forever grateful.”
Neeka thoughtfully decided to gift her new husband a bottle of Blanton’s Bourbon which she had White Ink custom engrave for him! I LOVE when we get to do projects like this because these gifts are one-of-a-kind, and they carry a memory that will last for a lifetime!
For those looking for a gift that leaves a big impression, engraving bottles of bubbly or spirits always brings that wow factor.
Of course, the White Ink team did what we do best and put together an amazing invitation suite for Neeka and Nick. YES, to envelope calligraphy, ya’ll. Look how stunning white looks over top the navy envelopes!
The vintage postage further elevates this look. And little details like a print of The Cookville Estate at the top on the invite perfectly ties the whole day together, from invitation to reception.
Neeka and Nick, you truly know how to turn a wedding into a memorable experience for all involved. This is a day we will remember for years to come, and for that, we are forever grateful. Cheers!
It makes my calligrapher heart so happy to see White Ink’s work go beyond the Nashville scene. We love to reach out as far as we can, leaving our mark on the events and weddings that our clients have worked so hard to pull together. This time we found ourselves in the dreamiest corner of Kentucky, with the sweetest couple we could’ve hoped for. I’ve been so excited to share these moments from Adair and Andrew’s charming Kentucky wedding with you!
Want to know the best way to boost the décor of your wedding? Mirrors! Mirrors take on a very delicate and unassuming role in the world of décor. They can flawlessly and beautifully fill any space in nearly any event. White Ink has an amazing collection of mirrors for our brides and grooms to use and customize for their weddings. When it comes to making good use of the versatility that our mirror collection provides, Adair and Andrew understood the assignment.
Check out how adorable our round ornamented mirror looks beside the card box. I love that they chose signage to help highlight what the guests would find at this table. I feel like this sweet little mirror and card box were made for each other! So, so perfect.
As if walking underneath a canopy of holly trees to find their seat wasn’t breathtaking enough, guests were swept away with the tender lyrics of one the most well-known love songs ever. We customized this gorgeous mirror to read, “Take my hand, Take my whole life too.” I mean, it’s enough to turn anyone into a complete puddle, right? Our bride and groom also used a custom mirror at their cake and dessert table with the lyrics, “How sweet it is to be loved by you.” I cannot think of a better way to add romance to your wedding décor. Additionally, Adair and Andrew chose one of our favorite mirrors that we custom made to use as their welcome sign, and I love the uniqueness of the frame for this sign. The outdoors of Kentucky worked as the perfect setting for it.
Our couples can never go wrong when choosing these beautiful, tall, standing mirrors to customize their seating chart. There’s something about their beautiful thin gold frames that makes the wording just pop! But I think my new favorite thing is really starting to be the photo guestbook signage. It’s kind of the cutest idea ever and our couples can walk away with instant lasting memories. (It’s the cute little camera on this mirror for me!)
Ok guys, from the castle, to the gardens, to the string quartet and everything in between (including some tasty McDonald’s fries), this wedding was seriously straight out of a fairytale. Our White Ink team was so thrilled with how our details turned out for Adair and Andrew. To say the least, we are proud to be a part of this Kentucky dream!
