Once again, we found ourselves back at the iconic Country Music Hall of Fame, this time to honor and celebrate the nuptials of this seriously gorgeous White Ink couple, Hannah and Zach. Style and texture effortlessly danced together at this stunning wedding reception. And I’m so happy I get to share another White Ink gem with you guys!
For starters, Hill Event Rentals really outdid themselves when it came to constructing this one-of-a-kind seating chart where White Ink printed names of each guest. (I’m here for a solid collab!) If a couple wants to find a spot in their reception where they can have fun and step outside of traditional style, seating charts are the perfect place to start.
These columns not only add dimension but also command attention. Guests were unsurprisingly wowed by this stunning seating chart. I love that the couple styled the bold display with soft candlelight and delicate white florals.
Oh look! Here’s a bride for reference! When I say these seating chart column displays commanded attention, they did just that. It’s your wedding, go big!
Often times, couples prefer a table number style from our rental collection which will fit unassumingly into their tablescape design. Table numbers usually play a very important but quiet part in a table setting. BUT sometimes, you just want to stand out! No one did this better than Hannah and Zach. They chose to use an organic stoned table number for each of their tables to guide guests to their seats. Talk about a conversation piece!
Note how the difference in the textures in this tablescape design provides a bold and delicate balance to the aesthetic of the room- soft white florals, linen, and organic stoned table numbers are working together like a dream.
Texture was having a MOMENT at this unforgettable reception, ya’ll. I love showing up for my clients in these unique styles. I especially love a chance to remind people that yes, we do calligraphy, but it is SO much more that! We are in the business of turning your vision into a reality. I am simply in love with this hanging fabric bar sign that we did.
Using fabric in this way can take a simple bar aesthetic and elevate it. Modern and sophisticated is the message here. I cannot get enough.
The stone signage carried over into one of the most thoughtful guest book tables we have seen. The wording on the stones read “Please Sign Our Bible” and “Pick a Verse, Leave a Note, Sign Your Name.” I thought this is a particularly touching way for couples of faiths to keep it close to their hearts. I imagine those sweet notes are filled with positivity and light.
Here’s to the uniqueness of each of our couples. Here’s to the memories we get to make alongside them. And here’s to every little letter we create that helps bring their vision to life. Each one is written on our hearts. You could say, it’s written in stone. Cheers!
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 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!
As a calligrapher, I get the unique opportunity to work with people who are putting their best foot forward. My clients are truly dedicated to being intentional with the details of their events. Seeing that side of them is a huge motivating factor while putting in my best work for each client whether they are throwing a holiday event, a business party, or a dream wedding. Working for Elyse and Josh as they were putting together the final touches for their wedding day was a rewarding and heartfelt experience; one that my team and I were honored to be a part of.
The White Ink team quickly understood that, to Elyse and Josh, family is everything. We think you will enjoy checking out some of the projects we put together to make sure this Tennessee wedding sublimely celebrated the importance of being gathered together.
I was really excited about customizing the chalkboard signage for cocktail hour. It fit effortlessly into the southern style of the gorgeous Cranford Hollow barn venue. We also made chalkboard signage to inform the guests of the childcare that was available to parents of little ones! This kind of thoughtfulness is what can separate your event from others. Those parents will always appreciate that this was done for the kiddos.
For cocktail hour, Elyse and Josh wanted to display these super cute custom cocktail napkins. I especially love how the gold font jumps off the white napkin. These napkins are a great example of how our clients use small details to leave lasting impressions. I am here for it!
Our couple’s family-centered reception was beautifully elevated by the specially designed menus we made for them. White Ink’s stationary team designed these menus on hand torn paper and coupled it with a classic custom gold seal. Ok, so I kind of still can’t get over how Elyse and Josh included a complete cocktail pairing with each menu item!
As for the table numbers that White Ink provided for this absolute picture-perfect tablescape, texture was the name of the game. I love it when a table comes together like this. Linen, florals, textured glass, wood, gold, leather- I mean, it’s a chef’s kiss! It was so fun to include these adorable, wooden block table numbers. They were the perfect unique touch to a classically rustic tablescape.
Elyse and Josh are the kind of couple that reminds us that the work we do isn’t just for the client; it’s for family, it’s for friends. Weddings like this are where we show those closest to us that we care about their experience. Because this is where we gather. Cheers!
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.
I want to say, whenever our couples take the time to include different textures in their wedding details it is ALWAYS worth the effort. Any creative knows that layered textures are sure to elevate an event. I’m excited to show you what White Ink created for Mae and Casey on their big day!
For starters, the home our couple chose as their venue was the most eye-pleasing, awe-inspiring place. There was no shortage of ivy laced brick, beautiful archways, iron gates or spiral staircases; I could go on and on. Fun fact: this home was also filmed in the show, “Nashville”, for all of you fans out there.
White Ink was thrilled when Mae and Casey asked us to put our own touch on this one-of-a-kind wedding. One of the best things about being a part of it all was getting to show the true beauty behind layering textures. Notice how the custom designed menu was displayed: heavy wooden table, gold rimmed glass charger, soft linen, rounded edged menu with spot calligraphy, and an olive branch all tied together with a single piece of twine. Whew! Now that is how you impress your guests using texture! This display at Mae and Casey’s reception embodied the perfect mixture of bold and gentle to make the dreamiest styled tablescape we have seen in a long time.
Check out this seating chart! Have you ever seen glass so perfectly placed? I mean this looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale! These gorgeous, gold-trimmed standing mirrors rested softly against iron gates and sat on a cushy bed of moss that was growing atop the stone floors and walls. (I mean, I love that I even get to say that sentence.) Again, layered texture for the win! I love seeing White Ink’s work used like this. It’s just so satisfying.
I was excited that Mae and Casey chose one of our card boxes from our extensive rental collection. This particular card box is gold trimmed and went flawlessly together with all of the gold accented décor throughout the ceremony and reception. The table numbers we provided for them were complete with gold flake corners and lettering, as well as the beautiful cocktail signage all done in gold ink calligraphy.
We love watching our couples piece their wedding day together and we love even more that we get to be such a big part of that. And when it comes to using lots of texture, don’t be afraid of it. It might be exactly what you’re looking for!
