Black Tie Wedding with Textured Details | Brittanie + Tristen
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.For this elegant, black tie wedding, we created several fun and unique textured details. From fabric signs to stone table numbers, we loved putting all our creative energy to use to make their vision come alive.
Elegant Wedding Invitation Suite
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 we must highlight 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!
“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.
Custom Fabric Bar Sign
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. Also, I can guarantee guests will not forget a sign like this!
The title of this custom escort wall 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 custom escort cards attached to individual flowers. I like to think of them as small tokens to carry on the mood and energy of this fantastic day.
Textured Reception Details
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 soaked 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 showcase 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.
Here’s to Brittanie and Tristen. For trusting White Ink with the finer details of this fine day. The love, the people, the creativity is something that will stay with us for many years to come. Cheers!
