Art Nouveau-Inspired Nuptials | Ashley + Austin | 8.31.24

Bride and groom share a kiss outside of The Hermitage Hotel entrance.

This year we started off a busy fall wedding season with White Ink Couple, Ashley and Austin, at the iconic Hermitage Hotel in downtown Nashville. This unforgettable, art nouveau-inspired wedding did not hold back when utilizing details, pulling in colors, and interlacing style and texture throughout the entire event. And White Ink was there for ALL of it!

We rolled up our creative sleeves and worked to help bring Ashley and Austin’s elegant vision into focus. We wove together poignant characteristics from The Hermitage Hotel’s architecture to the flowing geometric styles and muted colors of the booming art nouveau movement straight into all the important details of the day.

This was an unforgettable experience for the White Ink team and we are delighted to finally get to share this day with you!

Art Nouveau- Did you know?

Art Nouveau or “new art” was a movement that gained popularity from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. According to the The Art Story’s website, “Art Nouveau was aimed at modernizing design, seeking to escape the eclectic historical styles that had previously been popular. Artists drew inspiration from both organic and geometric forms, evolving elegant designs that united flowing, natural forms resembling the stems and blossoms of plants. The emphasis on linear contours took precedence over color, which was usually represented with hues such as muted greens, browns, yellows, and blues.” www.theartstory.org

This invitation suite was designed to reflect the timeless details of the wedding venue. We custom-designed the envelope liner to include that classic, art nouveau look. Muted greens and yellows rested perfectly together with a focus on the natural beauty of white birds and the liners’ harmonious shapes and lines.

One notable detail within The Hermitage Hotel is a hand-painted bird theme throughout the guestrooms and suites. The idea to include birds in the custom envelope liner was a purposeful and beautiful way to connect the Invites to the venue.

The ornament framing around the rsvp and details cards was meant to mimic the ornate frames and trim work throughout the hotel. This invitation suite was truly the ultimate ‘sneak peek’ for Ashley and Austin’s guests.

Wedding Welcome Sign

A wedding welcome sign is multifunctional, especially if it is mirrored. Event signage, in general, is a seamless way to provide guidance for your guests as they enter the venue space. It adds to the tone of the space without stealing the show. And it’s a fantastic way to showcase the theme of your big day.

Ashley and Austin chose to use our floor-length, Bourdeaux, gold-framed mirror with minimal ornamentation. It was the perfect sign to bring just enough attention. Even in a vintage, art nouveau-themed wedding, small details can go a long way. Giving your guests a quick opportunity to check their reflection is a welcomed added bonus!

Our couples often use seating charts and escort wall displays as an opportunity to showcase their wedding day theme in a big way. And I am HERE for it!

Ashley and Austin trusted White Ink to create a custom wallpaper to serve as the backdrop for this one-of-a-kind escort wall display. And in keeping with the art nouveau theme, we focused on natural elements like leaves and flowers with soft brown and white. The oval escort cards were each hooked to the display and boasted a thick yellow tassel to replicate a vintage hotel key. How cute are these?

Cocktail Hour Bar Signage

How perfect is this stunning muted blue frame with gold ornamented trim? The cocktail hour bar sign was a beautifully subtle addition to help carry the art nouveau theme by pulling in those soft hues and bold fonts.

Details like these are so much more than signs and menus, they provide a pivotal role in a carefully designed event. And it’s something guests appreciate.

I could stare at these custom die-cut menus and place cards for hours. Guests enjoyed many day-of details that these little guys boasted. Much of the day’s style, colors, florals, and designs can be found right here in the artfully designed paper details.

A place card was set atop each menu and connected together with a soft, vintage, yellow, chiffon ribbon (peep the same yellow ribbon from the invitation suite). I especially appreciated the functionality of the color-coded blooms on the place cards which served as the meal indicator. Perfection.

Table Numbers

White Ink carried the vintage frame design from the invitation suite rsvp and details cards to create Ashley and Austin’s table numbers. Table numbers don’t have to steal the spotlight in order to be a memorable part of a stunning tablescape.

The best way to tie in wedding theme details throughout the day is by pulling in designs just like this. Our couple also decided to use the vintage, wreath, table number base from our extensive wedding rental collection. This was the perfect choice!

Ashley and Austin came to White Ink with an elegant, vintage, art nouveau-inspired vision. And we were honored to take on the task of bringing it to life in exactly the way they dreamed of. Taking in the approving whispers and smiles of guests and bridal parties is an unforgettable feeling and why we do what we do. We can’t wait to do it for you!

Bride and groom share a picturesque walk together in beautiful outdoor setting.

We are back at the enchanting Southall Farm and Inn as we take part in elevating the gorgeous wedding of White Ink couple, Brittanie and Tristen. This wedding touches all the senses as textures and colors burst throughout the Franklin, TN venue. I hope you enjoy the highlights of their day as much as we do!

Brittanie and Tristen’s invitation complete with letterpress on hand-torn stock card created an incredibly elegant feel and look for their big day. Wedding invites have the power to truly set the tone for the entire event. I love when our couples understand how important it is to not skip the delicate details that give their guests the very first impression of what’s to come.

Note the pressed image of the Southall venue gently placed over the invite. It’s a small yet mighty detail that makes this invite one of a kind.

Another detail that can’t be missed in this suite is the beautiful envelope liner. In my opinion, envelope liners are simply a must, especially when finding ways to customize your wedding invitation suite. I like to think of it as the lining of a fancy jacket; it’s a place to pull in color and even have some fun and make it yours!

Ceremony venue styled with lots of florals and floral arbor.

“I’m in heaven for your wedding, so what shall I do? I’ll come back to earth to spend it with you. So save me a seat, just a comfy chair, you may not see me, but I will be there.” This touching poem was placed on a fabric banner along with the names of those from Brittanie and Tristen’s life who have passed on. It was an honor for us at White Ink to be involved in such a sentimental part of the ceremony and create this loving gesture for our couple.

For cocktail hour, Brittanie and Tristen chose to utilize fabric for the custom bar sign. I like getting the chance to showcase our work as we step off the paper and onto other textures! The look of the fabric bar sign, on the thick wooden bar decorated with soft florals is perfectly inviting as guests make the transition from ceremony to reception. A sign like this is not easily forgotten by your guests!

The title says it all- Love in Full Bloom. Brittanie and Tristen’s seating chart was so much fun to help create. As if the cascading florals all around aren’t enough to brighten this display, we kept it coming with specially put together escort cards that were attached to individual flowers. I like to think of them as small tokens to carry on the mood and energy of this fantastic day.

The delicious menu selection was printed on a beautiful stock card and placed underneath a delicate place card with baby blue ribbons. I think it’s important to point out the spectacular usage of texture from Brittanie and Tristen’s reception. Guests were invited to soak in the beauty of soft linens, traditional and modern glassware, abundant florals, and warm candlelight. THIS is how you create the mood and keep the guests engaged in every sense. I could have stayed here forever.

I have been so excited to show you guys these table numbers! Talk about texture- these custom stone table numbers from our extensive rental collection are a favorite of ours at White Ink. We were thrilled to provide these at the reception for Brittanie and Tristen. They created the perfect balance of the texture-filled tablescapes and were undoubtedly a main conversation piece. Reception decor is a wonderful time to show your style and personality just as Brittanie and Tristen did. The Roman numerals were an excellent touch.

A Penny for Your Thoughts | Sam + Landon | 08.26.23

Custom wedding invitation suite flat lay styled with florals, wooden trays, ornamented pieces.

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. I think you’re going to like this!

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. Love it!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

White Ink designed Sam and Landon’s reception menus which 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!

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!

A few more day-before details for Sam and Landon’s wedding welcome party. Getting to create items like their seating chart and the most adorable little matchboxes for the guests to take along with them was an honor. 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. And that’s just a really special thing!

Bride and Groom embrace in a kiss in front of a wall of records.

To the happy couple, we hope you enjoy lots of love and adventure, and continue soaking in all the finer details around you- and that’s our wish for you! Cheers!

A Book is Like a Garden…

A Book is Like a Garden…

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!

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.

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.

The Night Before

The Night Before

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.

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.

Planting the Seed | Morgan + Tommy | 6.24.23

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 wedding unforgettable for all in attendance. I love getting to show you all events where there is no shortage of details that aim to inspire. Enjoy!

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! The letterpress work on the card stock paper was beautifully done by our friends at Clover Calligraphy Co. who 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 point 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!

The wedding welcome sign was done in a frosted acrylic. It really 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.

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.

Alright you guys, 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. One of the sweetest seating charts I’ve been honored to take part in.

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 inspired theme. Look at how well all of the finer details fit together! I’m obsessed. Notice more of the tuber rose print throughout.

Reception Menus in lavender topped with wax seals.

I loved getting to create these summer-perfect, lavender-inspired 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 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!
