We are serving pretty, pretty envelopes with this one for you guys. I’ve been excited to show off this wedding invitation suite that White Ink created for our gorgeous couple, Alyson and Ben. Spot calligraphy, rosy hues, crisp white ink, all tied perfectly together with rose-pictured envelope liners; it’s a stationary dream, honestly. Also, who isn’t obsessed with envelope calligraphy?
My team and I have several favorites when it comes to Alyson and Ben’s Graystone Quarry wedding. This sweet couple had some fun and thoughtful ideas that made the details of their big day unique and memorable. For example, instead of using a phrase like “Please Find Your Seat” for their seating chart, they wanted it to say, “Our Favorite People” with the guest list following underneath. Changing small things like this makes such a huge difference in how a couple makes their guests feel. When you make your guests feel special, that’s something they won’t easily forget. And we LOVE being a part of that!
I think one of the most clever details in this distinctively guest-centered wedding was the oversized standing mirror that said, “Hello gorgeous. You look incredible. Now go grab a drink. XO Alyson + Ben.” It invites guests to do a quick wardrobe check, relax, and go celebrate! I’m sure this was a much-appreciated fixture during the celebrations of the day.
This couple seemed to be really good at choosing details that fit right in. They were a breath of fresh air for all of the creatives involved in their wedding day. And what a view! Alyson and Ben, you were an absolute delight to work with. If you made your guests feel as amazing as you made us feel, there is no doubt they’re still remembering and still smiling; all because of you. Cheers!
There are some weddings that have a magical way of rooting themselves into your memory. Maggie and Barret’s winter wonder wedding is certainly one that is impossible to forget. This couple aimed for a dreamy, wintery celebration at the gorgeous Long Hollow Gardens in Gallatin, TN, where even mother nature bestowed a gift on the festivities. What could be better than snowfall during a winter wedding? Perfection!
White Ink was invited to take part in putting together some gorgeous and timeless details of this picture-perfect fairy tale starting with Maggie and Barret’s invitations. The shade of green used on their envelopes compliments the bold impressions that winter brings along. It’s a perfect mix of classic and gentle. Custom envelope calligraphy makes this suite even sweeter.
The welcome sign from White Ink insists on being seen! It is seriously one of our favorite pieces to include in the décor of weddings like this one. Nothing compares to ornamented gold, truly.
The cocktail hour drink favorites are displayed on these stunning little gold framed mirrors. We always have a lot of fun with these! They fit seamlessly into any event.
Mirrors, mirrors, and more mirrors! At White Ink, we LOVE mirrors, want to know why? Not only are they timeless details that can elevate any scene, but they are reusable! We can use them over and over, helping us in reducing waste. Mirrors are a must-have item that any bride and groom can feel good about using. We are over-the-moon for the hanging mirrors used to display the reception’s seating chart. The way the greenery interlaces throughout this display is almost too much to handle.
Why stop there? Nestled into the gentle, rustic tablescapes is one of our favorite pieces, gold mirrored acrylic table numbers. Just another detail you didn’t know you needed for your next event.
We loved how Maggie and Barret’s menus turned out, especially the way they popped overtop the deeper colors of the décor. Simply done and perfectly placed, creating a menu for your event helps promote that classic look that we all adore.
As if the fresh snow, cobble stone floor, stringed lighting, and wintery florals weren’t enough to perfect this fairy-tale, our bride and groom used a snow machine for their unforgettable send-off! Really solidifying the winter wonder wedding fun!
At White Ink, we are so touched to be a part of our couples’ dream weddings. We can’t think of a bigger honor. For Maggie and Barret, we were thrilled to use our creativity in helping them create a night that is frozen in time. Congrats!
Finally! We get to share all the details from one of White Ink’s most eye-catching projects to date. Our clients, Kelsey and Tanner, brought us in to help fulfill the vision for their wedding and we are still spinning from how amazing it all turned out.
To start, the White Ink stationary team came through with a sophisticated invitation suite complete with gold ink against beautiful textured paper that always pairs elegantly with a classic navy envelope. So many of our White Ink couples have chosen navy envelopes to elevate their invitation suites and you can see why!
Guests were invited to enjoy Kelsey and Tanner’s ceremony at the Union Station Nashville Yards Hotel which turned out to be an architectural dream for this downtown wedding. This landmark site truly speaks for itself and lacks nothing in the way of décor. Still, we got to put our touch on this stunning venue with a golden, ornamented wedding welcome sign complete with custom calligraphy. Wedding welcome signs like this one can add charm to even the grandest of venues.
Our couple chose the W Nashville Hotel to host their guests for the reception and it did not disappoint. It’s also where we got to flex our creativity and put on display White Ink’s biggest seating chart we have ever done! This massive, custom project was tailored perfectly to Kelsey and Tanner’s vision with floor to ceiling hanging fabric. It’s very rewarding to have each guest enjoy this creation knowing that they were a part of it as they find their names printed on the king-sized drapery flowing down in front of them. I am still so excited by how this came to fruition. I can tell you, this seating chart is going to stick with me for a long time. I am so proud of our team!
It doesn’t stop there. Our bride and groom asked that we elevate the details of their tablescapes with custom menus, place cards and table numbers. I really love it when our couples blend details together the way Kelsey and Tanner did with the menus and place cards. The place cards were done using custom spot calligraphy in gold ink and paired together with our custom designed menus using gold wax seals.
I am excited to show you the table numbers used for this reception because they are the newest addition in our rental collection! The acrylic front and easel stand make these little guys fit very easily into almost any style. They’re my new favorite!
I am so grateful for clients like Kelsey and Tanner who understand our dedication to making dream weddings a reality. We can help you create event details that turn heads. I promise!
I like to think that I have been exceptionally lucky in getting to see the most amazing details that this wedding town has to offer. From striking floral arrangements to grand venues, White Ink is constantly wowed by the visions that our couples and fellow creatives have pieced together. Just when you think you’ve seen all things wedding, a couple like Taylor and Jacob come along and remind you that there is so much more to see!
Once again, White Ink returns to the remarkable Saint Elle venue which is known for its distinct modern features. Taylor and Jacob used the beauty of this setting to incorporate their own expressive and romantic styles in one of the dreamiest boho style weddings we have ever seen. Take a look at these photos to see some of our favorite moments from the day. (Peep the triangular arbor!)
Seating charts are a wedding reception’s hidden gem. They offer simplicity in an otherwise high energy setting. Your guests don’t have to worry about having to pick a spot for themselves and can enjoy the transition from cocktail hour to dining. White Ink LOVES seating charts because, for a calligrapher, the choice of canvas is seemingly unlimited. Look at how incredible our couple’s seating chart display was! I mean, calligraphy on VINTAGE VASES! This display is honestly one of the most impressive things I’ve gotten to put my touch on. We still can’t get over how fun this project was!
Another item White Ink prepared for Taylor and Jacob was signage displaying the “Order of Events” and the “Wedding Party.” The idea of keeping your guests informed this way is a personal favorite of mine. Another, favorite for the White Ink team is the adorable “Cards” box that we have recently added to our expansive rental collections. We love getting to customize this small but mighty feature for our lovely couples.
Taylor and Jacob were not shy when it came to choosing expressive, modern, boho and delightfully wild colors and florals for their big day. We are grateful for every couple that we get to work with, especially the ones that open our eyes to a wedding like we’ve never seen before. And we just can’t wait for more.
Most people have been to at least a handful of weddings in their lifetime. Weddings are something we all have in common whether we’ve attended as the guest, as part of the bridal party or as the couple. I think you understand when I say, weddings carry energy, an energy that is specific to each couple. There are a million different ways to celebrate your big day and they are all incredibly unique and special. At White Ink, some of our favorite celebrations come from weddings like Rachel and Derek’s. The energy was higher that the moonlit sky and we will never forget it!
Our bride, Rachel, was so fun to work with. She is a wedding, lifestyle, and boudoir photographer here in Nashville and knows how to shine in front of the lens! She and Derek were the perfect, most easy-going couple who really let their personality take over the details of their gorgeous wedding. My team and I had SO much fun putting together their invites. The colors were beautiful alone, but guests were wowed with a stunning print of the famous Bouguereau painting, “The Birth of Venus” as the envelope liner. I mean, I need more showstopping moments like this.
White Ink was also honored with the task of creating the head-table acrylic place cards. Rachel and Derek included the acrylic table numbers from the White Ink rental collection that always fit so perfectly no matter the décor of the event. Here’s something you never knew you needed for you wedding reception; cake flavor signage! So brilliant. We created the cake flavor sign for Rachel and Derek’s cake table and it worked like a charm. Perhaps this is something you might include in your next celebration?
After the gorgeous ceremony, Rachel’s reception outfit-change let everyone know it was time to celebrate! Between the live music, cascading florals, and breathtaking lighting, the energy of this wedding was always moving. A wedding that moved is the only way to describe it. And as the night moved, time stood still. Our memories from this day will be as sweet as champagne. Cheers!
It is said that rain on a wedding day is good luck! The idea is that when tying a “knot,” a wet one is much stronger than a dry one and so, a rainy wedding day signifies a marriage that is sure to be long-lasting. What a comforting way to enjoy all the tiny droplets of strength that sometimes pour into a couple’s big day. For our clients, Mark and Paul, just as the ceremony began, a little “luck” started falling their way.
White Ink was asked to create the wedding welcome sign which looked gorgeous over the mirrored glass. A piece like this really helps pull together the inviting feeling of a ceremony that our clients hope for. Welcome signs have an unassuming way of saying “we’re glad you’re here, now enjoy!” And we always have fun with these.
Mark and Paul’s request to White Ink also included the seating chart display. Look at how perfectly the seating chart calligraphy atop the vintage windows captured the ambiance of the rustic, industrial style at the barn reception area. (A chef’s kiss!)
Nothing elevates the bold colors and florals of a tablescape like these crisp, elegant menus. The pure look of these menus that we created for Mark and Paul obeyed the handsome style and décor of each table setting. Menu designs can lift expectations for any event, especially wedding receptions. Wouldn’t you agree?
Standing hand in hand beneath a rose-laced arbor that boldly kissed the tree line of Green Door Gourmet, Mark and Paul made their vows. Tear drops and rain drops delicately fell at an equal pace. And this amazing couple happily shared the beginning of the rest of their lives surrounded by friends and family. White Ink was honored just to be a part of it all. Thank you, Mark and Paul. Here’s to many years of happiness and a little luck along the way!
