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.
Notice the “C.E.” monogram sporting more gorgeous blue summer floral prints on both the custom Rehearsal Dinner menu and invite.
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.
The table numbers fit perfectly into the stunning formal tablescapes in the Noelle’s Sadiee Gallery Grand Ballroom. They simple belonged in this room!
The place cards elevated the show-stopping tablescape and fit effortlessly alongside the goldware at each place setting. This is a perfect example of how one seemingly small detail can really pack a big decor punch!
Classic display of the custom menu we designed for Cason and Eddie. Carrying details like color and prints throughout the whole of an event sends a message of intention and thoughtfulness and can show guests that their enjoyment is a really big part of the planning process!
We were honored to join our couple, Cason and Eddie, in one of the most meaningful nights of their lives! They made sure that their family and wedding party received a proper welcome. We cannot wait to share more details about their wedding day too! For now, we will hold on to memories that were made “The Night Before.”
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.
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!
There is a saying, “Retirement is when you stop living at work and start working at living.” And what better way to begin a new chapter in your life than to celebrate? I cherish every opportunity we get at White Ink to help elevate what are often major events in our clients’ lives, but there is something particularly special about getting the chance to be a part of a retirement celebration. Taylor Farms gave a beautiful farewell to two employees who were more like family. We were so lucky to celebrate with Bryan and Dan, and many of their closest family, friends, and coworkers. Take a look at some of these fun details we created for them.
The signage we did for this is some of my favorite. I really love getting to use our chalkboard welcome sign. It has a particular boldness about it that has a way of grabbing your attention while fitting perfectly into many styles of decor. It was perfect for this event!
Tabletop chalkboard signage just, works! These little guys can be as formal or as casual as you want them to be. And I love it when our clients choose to use these as a way to guide their guests through events.
Ok, so I want to take a quick moment to recognize one of the best in the business, Dana Carroll McCollum with Dana Carroll Co Weddings & Events! She is an amazing planner, and we absolutely LOVE each and every time we get to work with her. We usually find each other working together on weddings, so it was really fun getting to change things up while working an event like the Taylor Farms Retirement Celebration. One of the coolest parts of my job is fostering relationships among other creatives within the wedding and event world. The planning community is a very special place and people like Dana are a big reason why.
Going back to the details, I am thrilled with how well these adorable cocktail napkins turned out! The gold lettering over the black stands out so well. Details like custom cocktail napkins are a fun way to make an event feel personal and extra special. And we NEED to talk about these drink stirs! Laser cuts are now something we do in-house, and I am really excited about it because the possibilities are endless. The custom-designed, laser-cut drink stirs we did for Bryan and Dan was a stand-out piece at the party. Even the smallest details can have a lasting effect on how your guests remember your event.
Bryan and Dan elevated their party favors to their guests with the custom tags we made for each gift. Again, this is a subtle way to show your guests that you’re glad they are there to celebrate with you. It points to a great deal of thoughtfulness when you choose small yet powerful details like these.
To Dan and Bryan, we at White Ink wish you the best on what is hopefully the happiest new beginning of your lives! We are so grateful to have been a part of such a special Taylor Farms send-off. Here’s to celebrating retirement and working at living! Cheers!
Nashville is widely celebrated as the birthplace of country music. When you’re here, you don’t have to go very far before you start to hear sounds of strumming and people bearing their hearts and souls through the words and the meanings of this thing they call country. If this is your jam, we are excited to bring you downtown with us to see how White Ink couple, Lindsey and Carson, created their dream wedding surrounded by the iconic collections that live inside of Nashville’s very own Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Check out how White Ink took part in creating details that helped tie this downtown dream wedding together.
It’s easy to tell when a couple takes time and care in selecting the finer details of their wedding. Lindsey and Carson are an exceptional team and were so fun to work with because they took care in choosing what they wanted for their big day.
This arched wedding welcome sign is definitely one of my favorites from our collection. I love the all-white look; it fits into nearly any style and makes the perfect canvas for displaying florals or really any other designing element that you would want to tie together throughout the day.
The beautiful floral designs that Lindsey and Carson chose was laced throughout the ceremony and reception including the wedding welcome sign.
It’s fun when we get to focus our attention on the reception too! I can’t begin to tell you guys how cool it is to be a part of so many amazing seating chart designs and ideas.
This seating chart just makes me smile. I don’t know how else to put it. I mean, the muted, soft gray with florals cascading all around. I really love how delicate the white ink looks against this color and how the greenery pops from behind the acrylic of the seating signage. Perfectly magical.
Our couple chose our white arched table number signs in black ink. Not only did these little beauties match the shape and color of the arched wedding welcome sign, but they also blended perfectly into the stunning tablescapes!
White Ink was asked to design Lindsey and Carson’s custom menus for the reception that were perfectly tucked into the napkins at the formal place settings. We also created the most adorable little oval place cards with tassels that went alongside the custom menus. I love when details are both adorable and functional!
The word “Dinner” peeks out from the napkin leaving this custom menu sleek and inviting.
“Grab a Drink but your place is on the Dance Floor,” is really the kind of guidance I need to encourage me to let my hair down and hit the dance floor. I love added humor into signage like this, very fun and highly appropriate.
It’s the Late Night snacks that are the real MVP’s of wedding receptions and we all know it… I’m so happy we got to make a sign for these little lifesavers.
When it comes to Nashville, you may be here for the country, or you may be here for a good time. Lindsey and Carson made sure to have both and that’s what keeps us always coming back for more. To this amazing couple, may there be more just like you with nights just like this. Cheers, ya’ll!
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!
This June I had the honor of hosting the sweetest baby shower for my sister, Townley! Guys, I CANNOT wait to be an aunt. This feels so surreal, and I am drinking up every moment. So many of our clients have had the joy of working with Townley throughout the years as she is a machine behind the scenes at White Ink Calligraphy! She is the heart and soul of our stationary department. Townley continuously dedicates her time assisting our clients with graphic designing and printing services. Whether our couples want a custom wedding invitation suite or one-of-a-kind cocktail napkins, Townley makes it happen! So, now it’s time to celebrate Townley as she glides effortlessly into the beauty of a new role- mother. Enjoy this little peek inside what was an incredibly happy day for us all.
LOVE the invites that we sent out for Townley’s shower. It’s no surprise to anyone that I have always been huge fan of florals on invitations. The flowers bordering the event details are so beautiful and create the most delicate frame. We also really loved using this muted green for the envelopes.
The welcome sign was a true joy to create! The pressed florals between the glass resembles the florals from the invites and the lettering takes on the same muted green from the invitation envelopes. I love when small details connect like this!
For the mamas out there who experienced pregnancy, did you ever have any food cravings? Townley definitely did….she craved mocktails! That has been her number one food craving throughout her pregnancy. So, naturally, we set up a mocktail bar so she could mocktail to her heart’s content. I especially loved the little onesie, paci, and bottle stirrers!
Friends and family surrounded Townley and showed so much support. We were so excited to celebrate baby Goldberg!
It was so fun having everyone fill out these personal message cards for baby Goldberg. There was so much love shared through these sweet notes! – I hope that you love – I hope you always- I hope you never forget – I hope you learn – I hope you get your mama’s – I hope you get your dad’s – I hope you become –
I am so lucky to have a local urban farm right in my neighborhood! Joy House Blooms supplied us with the most GORGEOUS selection of flowers which we used to create a “floral bar”. Guests were encouraged to make their own arrangements that they could take back home with them using this amazing selection of flowers!
The place cards used to identify the flowers looked so good here! The colors, the place cards, the flowers, the mason jars- it’s all just perfection!
Our dogs definitely tried to steal the spotlight during the gift opening. They’re the cutest little attention stealers though aren’t they?
This will be a day I will always cherish. My sister is like my right hand. White Ink wouldn’t be what it is today without her diligence and dedication. But making me an aunt is the best gift by far! I can’t wait to meet baby Goldberg.
