I am honored beyond words that I get to work alongside so many amazing vendors for weddings and other major events. It is a community that I never knew I needed. We all may have different jobs, but in the end, we are working towards one goal- giving our clients the wedding/event of their dreams! Taking part in the beautiful nuptials of our couple, Emma and John, last October gave us a front-row seat to one of the dreamiest weddings we had the pleasure of being a part of. I’ve been excited to show you all of the personalized details that made this wedding exceptional. In truth, there is a lot of hard work that goes into a wedding day, but the effects of that dedication last far longer than just a single day; we help create the details that are put into memories that last forever.
Emma and John’s save-the-date was done using card stock topped with gold calligraphy and tucked into a warm, dusty rose envelope giving it a most delicate and inviting feel. I like to imagine the smiles people give when opening up these happy color combos.
This invitation suite steals the show. For me, this is about as good as it gets. The invitation was done in letterpress on handmade paper (yes, handmade paper). I especially love how Emma and John went from a dusty rose save-the-date envelope to dusty blue invitation suite envelopes. The envelopes were closed with a gold, custom, monogrammed wax seal. (Icing on the cake!)
Emma and John personalized their invitation suite to include a liner that had a print which was actually hand-painted by John’s mother. The same print was also used on the suite’s vellum overlay. THIS is what I mean when I say we help create memories that last forever. How special is this gorgeous detail?
John’s mother, Penny, is an artist who took on the role of creating this piece for her son and daughter-in-law as a way to include those who were with them in spirit. She used very special and specific details in this image to represent those loved ones. We were honored to pen the letter that went along with the beautiful picture display.
The chalkboard directional signs fit perfectly within the woodsy scenery of this Cheekwood venue. They stand out just enough to guide guests to their seats.
Here is a refreshing new detail that we don’t see very often. The couple wanted to have special seating for the ceremony portion of the wedding. We did that by taking the printed programs and writing the names of each guest so they knew where to find their seat. This was a beautiful example of how much thought went into each moment of Emma and John’s big day.
You can never go wrong with a classically beautiful, mirrored seating chart. Although this is a very popular seating chart display, there was something especially whimsical about seeing the textural differences of the glass mirror against the beautiful trees in the garden.
White Ink is always happy to put our touch on table signage like we did for Emma and John’s bar sign. But what we loved most was getting to make the super awesome cocktail napkins that displayed several of the couple’s favorite sayings. Taking it to the next level and making it your own, is what’s it’s all about. I hope you enjoy these!
Another table-top sign was for the deliciously showstopping oyster and shrimp bar! Yum!
Every single wedding White Ink gets to be a part of is always so special to us. We loved the deeply personal touches that Emma and John made room for on their big day. A gem of a wedding, indeed! Cheers to the happy couple! Check out some of the amazing vendors who took part in this event.
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!
Take a look at White Ink’s journey to Rhode Island as our creativity made its way up the coast! Everything about Andrei and Sean’s wedding was top notch and we are in LOVE with how well the details turned out for this spectacular event.
As far as invitation suites go, there was no stone unturned. Andrei and Sean selected the most beautiful gold ink pressed into white cardstock. The suite was wrapped together by a stunning vellum jacket complete with a gold, custom monogramed wax seal. On the vellum jacket you will notice a print of the historic Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island which would be the location of our couple’s reception. Fun Fact: Rosecliff Mansion was featured in the 1974 film, The Great Gatsby.
If you want your invitation suites to embody elegance, we cannot recommend envelope calligraphy enough! The gold calligraphy on these white envelopes shines like the treasure they are.
How stunning is this engraved, custom monogramed ring box?!
White Ink also designed the wedding programs for Andrei and Sean. The ceremony took place at the gorgeous St. Barnabas Catholic Church located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
I have been SO excited to show you guys what we did for Andrei and Sean’s seating chart for their reception! I know we have shown you some unique seating chart pieces, but this one is definitely one I will always remember.
Each guest was gifted a book of poems where they could find their names followed by their table number written in custom gold calligraphy down the spine of their individual book. (I mean… I have no words). Inside the books, White Ink designed custom bookmarks that marked the page where Andrei and Sean’s favorite love poem was written. You could also enjoy excerpts of the famous E.E. Cummings poem, I Carry Your Heart with Me, written on the wall of the shelves. Honestly, it’s enough to turn you into a puddle!
Andrei and Sean asked White Ink to help create the menus for the reception which carried the same delicate combination of gold and white just as their wedding invitation suites did. I say it every time, connecting even the smallest details together can really be the thing that separates your wedding apart.
Ellegant or not, you know White Ink is going to show up at the bar! We love the look of this bar menu inside the distressed gold frame.
The perfect little place cards we did for Andrei and Sean blended effortlessly into the stunning tablescapes.
I especially love when White Ink gets to leave a mark in destinations beyond Nashville. It’s always a beautiful journey and a fantastic opportunity to represent our little corner of the wedding world. Couples like Andrei and Sean remind us of why we love what we do. This couple put so much effort and thought into every single part of their wedding day. We were honored to connect with them in such a memorable way. You could say, we will carry them in our hearts. Cheers!
Last summer was filled with a rush of the most breathtaking weddings we have ever seen. Nashville weddings simply do not disappoint. Libby and Ben’s Scarritt Bennett nuptials gives us a glimpse of the amazing wedding season we had as they showcased classic details and unforgettable design that left us speechless.
If you are from Nashville, then you are probably familiar with the reputation of Scarritt Bennett as one of Nashville’s most historic and timeless venues. Libby and Ben’s style laced seamlessly together with the design of the gorgeous Wightman Chapel at Scarritt Bennett. So much so, that custom artwork of the famous chapel was printed for the envelope liner in their invitation suites!
Libby was a bride that was not only excited by calligraphy, but also had a deep appreciation for classic letterpress. (I could cry tears of joy, honestly because- same.) She gave us the green light to design her and Ben’s invitation suites in FULL spot calligraphy and letterpress! In the world of calligraphy, THIS is about as stunning as it gets, folks. Enjoy!
Our couple chose to use envelope calligraphy in white which paired beautifully against the dusty blue envelopes.
Libby and Ben’s reception venue was at the fabulous Belle Meade Country Club. This location definitely fit with the chic and classic energy of the day. The details flowed together flawlessly throughout the entire event. Absolutely nothing was underdone. We are especially proud to show off the final look of our couple’s seating chart! This is one of our favorite charts to date. The seating chart boasted dozens of brilliant little escort cards complete with custom spot calligraphy and tassels to top it all off. Unique but chic is the name of the game here. And I’m so in love with it.
White Ink continued our touch on this special day through details like Libby and Ben’s custom bar signage and some of the most adorable cocktail napkins with prints of the couple’s fur babies, Max and Zuzu. Cocktail hour is the perfect time to include special things like beloved pets! This is quickly becoming a popular theme.
I say it all the time, but White Ink Calligraphy really does have the best couples and clients ever. It was such an honor to work with Libby and Ben throughout the planning process all the way to the big day. I was moved by their appreciation for sophisticated detail and we were happy to make it all happen for these two. We appreciate you! Cheers!
There is no shortage of awe-inspiring, crowd-pleasing, showstopping wedding venues in Nashville. But sometimes, home is exactly where you want to be and simply nothing else will do. Because, as we all know, there’s no place like home. Last fall, Caroline and Landon invited their guests to the family farm where they created an incredibly memorable wedding day and White Ink had the pleasure of elevating this beautiful day with some uniquely exciting details.
White Ink made an elegantly simple envelope using spot calligraphy in gold which the couple paired with their invites. I love this look because it is crisp and clean and the perfect example of “less is more”. Timeless and always appropriate.
The vast family farm offered the most breathtaking views and open spaces. Caroline and Landon thoughtfully provided a directional sign for their guests so that they could easily get around the farm. White Ink put together this rustic, chic sign. I especially love the look of the acrylic with the wooden case. The custom white calligraphy was the cherry on top!
We took the same style as the directional sign to create both the wedding welcome sign and the seating chart. It effortlessly tied these important details together. The only major difference was the POP of florals beautifully peeking through the acrylic welcome sign and seating chart. Mixing florals and calligraphy will forever be my favorite!
“Our Favorite People,” is the cutest way to title a seating chart. It’s an instant smile-maker!
We loved getting to add the sweet bride and groom place cards for the head table. Yes, this is a detail that is subtle, but it holds a lot of meaning- this is Caroline and Landon’s first meal as husband and wife! Our couples are always glad they chose not to overlook the small, customizable details. They’re more important than you might think!
One of my favorite things White Ink did for Caroline and Landon’s reception was create a cocktail napkin where we incorporated the profile of Caroline’s beloved horse! Where are my horse lovers at? Is this not the most adorable way to include your favorite animal in the festivities? These cocktail napkins definitely fit into the scene of the evening.
Home weddings are on the rise. And White Ink is here for it! We are honored each time we are invited into someone’s space, to a place they call their own- a place called home. In some way, the memories are a little bit sweeter. Maybe it’s because home is where the heart is. Congratulations Caroline and Landon!
One of the things that I love about White Ink Calligraphy is that we aren’t just limited to paper. We have a wide range of capabilities that we apply to so many events, and we have so much fun doing it! We have the best clients in the world; they know we’ve got their back when it comes to meeting the expectations around their special day. Robin and Jeffrey are a great example. The White Ink team loved working for this amazing couple on their wedding day, and we know you’re going to love these details!
Robin and Jeffrey’s Nashville summer wedding was an absolute feast for the eyes. They chose the gorgeous Clementine Hall in downtown Nashville as their venue which added an array of modern elements to this southern wedding. Venues like the Clementine give White Ink a chance to stretch our creative muscles. Like getting to incorporate copper tones in much of Robin and Jeffrey’s day-of pieces. It all begins with the invitation suite that we created for our perfect pair. Custom envelope calligraphy is a showstopper all on its own, but when you pair that with a brilliant copper ink- whew! Just stunning. These invites were completed with a classic copper wax seal to make this suite as distinctive as our beautiful couple.
These same copper elements made their appearance again at Robin and Jeffrey’s reception. Guests were wowed by Whtie Ink’s one-of-a-kind table numbers made up of acrylic signage and copper pipe stands. How awesome are these? The way the copper pipes blend in with the florals on the tablescape is a really great example of how different textures can be used together to create an aesthetically delightful style. White Ink used this same acrylic and copper pipe for the bar signage, and we were thrilled with how well it turned out. We love a couple who aren’t afraid to think outside the box in terms of color and how to use it. Well done, Robin and Jeffrey!
White Ink was happy to supply our bride and groom with an all-acrylic customized table seating chart. It blended perfectly with the style of the day. One of the most novel signs we customized for Robin and Jeffrey was the sign that invited guests to sign their names to a wine bottle cork in lieu of a guestbook. I thought that was such a fantastic way to turn a common wedding tradition into something that was uniquely theirs!
Working with Robin and Jeffery was a great reminder of why we do what we do. We have the skill and the supply to match our clients’ expectations and elevate each event we are asked to be a part of. White Ink is there for you, from the ink to the table- and more.
