Elegant Winter Wedding | Take My Hand | Padma + Sagar

Bride and Groom side by side holding hands

Turning to each other, hand in hand, looking at each other with the same soul-shaking stare, the kind of stare that fully surrenders to the excitement of the moment- that’s the part of a wedding that always gets me. Couples in THEIR moment, that small and mighty moment in each ceremony is the best part of the whole celebration. Our incredible couple, Padma and Sagar, were surrounded by their closest friends and family in one of the most stunning receptions we’ve been a part of. Their elegant winter wedding day included countless moments that will stay with us.

Dark Green Invites Enhanced with Gold Calligraphy

For starters, Padma and Sagar’s custom invitations boasted a deep green hue making the gold print and calligraphy pop right off of the paper. They chose the unique curved outline for the invite, making it an especially stunning piece for guests to enjoy. Your invites can encompass the style of an event beyond color and print! Using a detail like the shape of an invite is a great way to incorporate your style and vision.

Whimsical Seating Chart

The whimsical seating chart display was a guest favorite. The sleek gold frames gently leaned against the wall while a bright array of florals surrounded their base was simply magical. I get excited when couples use florals to enhance the seating chart displays. It’s always a design win!

Well, this is about as stunning as it gets when styling your bar signage! Our team enjoyed creating the custom signature cocktails sign, which used the same paper color and gold ink as Padma and Sagar’s invites. The sign was styled with the same florals as the seating chart display. YES, to carrying details throughout your entire celebration! What an inviting display during cocktail hour!

It was an honor to create Padma and Sagar’s dining menus to add to this incredibly stunning reception. Again, guests enjoyed the beautiful deep green hue found on the invites and bar signage. The gold print flowed perfectly with the gold-rimmed dining plates, gold napkins and goldware! An absolutely timeless motif.

White Ink is honored to be included in the excitement of our couples’ celebrations! We delight in the traditions, the love, and the people that each couple values. Bringing our couples’ individual vision to life is why we’re here and what we love to do! Cheers!

This picture-perfect fairytale wedding which took place at the breathtaking Southall Farm & Inn in historic Franklin, TN was one I will never forget. For starters, Emily and Avnish were the first clients that we worked with from the new White Ink Studio! That alone was a very special and meaningful moment for me and my team. It also didn’t hurt that this couple was an absolute delight to work with! They trusted us in creating some amazing multi-textured wedding details that I am so excited to share!

Bold + Textured Invitation Suite

Texture, Texture, Texture. It never fails. Emily and Avnish’s guest received this bold invitation suite that boasted hand-made paper, a custom map created for the details card, and a leather cord used to wrap up this suite into one, bright bundle of celebration.

White Ink also included a custom envelope liner which depicted the Southall property. Such a chic way of showing guests a little sneak peek of the venue!

One of my favorite parts of this invitation suite was the RSVP card that included a QR code with all of the info at the guests’ fingertips. It’s no secret that not everyone remembers to RSVP to events. This is a clever way to prompt and encourage guests to confirm their attendance. It’s a win, win.

Modern Mirror Welcome Sign

With an abundance of mirrors to choose from in the White Ink Collection, I was excited that Emily and Avnish went with this arched, gold framed mirror for their wedding welcome sign. The modern touch complimented the natural serenity that Southall possesses. It stood out just enough for guests to take notice!

Tile seating chart, florals arrangements, wooden backdrop – are we starting to see a theme here? Yep, it’s texture. Using texture works so well because it is a feast for the eyes. The different feel, looks, and colors offer a compelling and exciting contrast that people can’t help but indulge in! Multi-textured design like this lends itself to a particularly beautiful and often unforgettable balance that is enjoyed by all!

This sweet, dusty blue hue, which can be seen throughout the wedding details (including the invitation), looked gorgeous used with the menus and table numbers. Our stationary team did a fantastic job getting all the details that Emily and Avnish wanted for these. The place cards fastened to the menus are my favorite.

Cheers to the happy couple and to their Franklin Fairytale!

Looking for the Right Sign | Camille + Daniel | 5.28.22

Hey guys! We want to bring you into our event signage process and show you a little bit about what creating your event sign with White Ink Calligraphy looks like. Whatever you are hosting or planning, we are well equipped and have everything on hand to tie your details together with the perfect sign.  

Why is event signage important?” Because it is not only decorative, it’s functional! You wouldn’t be expected to drive on a road without signs to guide you or explain a little bit about your surroundings. So, why would we do that to our guests? From table numbers to seating charts, to bar signs, guests can be confident about the goings on of an event because of the information our custom signage subtlety provides for them.  

Our sweet couple, Camille and Daniel, asked White Ink to help provide their wedding guests with lots of great signage throughout their wedding day at Long Hollow Gardens. This gorgeous venue in Gallatin, Tennessee covers a lot of ground and has a lot to offer. So, bringing in signs to keep the crowd headed in the right direction and staying well-informed was a must and a very considerate addition to their big day! 

White Ink put together some gorgeous pieces for Camille and Daniel. A customized seating chart, wedding welcome sign, and bar menu were just the start. We also provided our popular acrylic table numbers as well as one of our favorite items- the signage for the couple’s memorial table.  

How do we get started?” First, our clients will look over White Ink’s Request a Quote Form where they can fill us in on the types of event signage they’re looking for and provide the day-of details. From there, folks can view our inventory of rentals in the White Ink collection that are available; or they can choose to use their own signs that we can customize! On this form, we try to get ALL of the info we can in order to give clients the most accurate quote. If they aren’t sure about what signs are best for an event, we can help with that! Clients can even upload pics of some event signage inspo for us to see! 

We also ensure the perfect way to get your event signs to you. Whether it’s coordinating with your planner for pick up or arranging the right time for your signage to be delivered, we’ve got you! Our team is the best at what we do. So, what’s your sign?  

We are honored to help clients like Camille and Daniel achieve the wedding of their dreams. And we love the signs they chose to use on their big day! The White Ink team was happy to get to work for them and give them exactly the signs they were looking for. Cheers to this amazing couple!

Sip and Be Seated | Molly + Killian | 5.1.21

Sip and Be Seated | Molly + Killian | 5.1.21

Being given the opportunity to truly tap into my creative side makes me feel as free as the bubbles floating to the top of a champagne flute. The White Ink team was invited to take part in some seriously showstopping details for the wedding of our amazing couple, Molly and Killian.  

Aside from making their vows at the former home of Reba McEntire, our couple wowed their guests with custom wedding details and designs that would be the topic of conversation for a long time to come.  

Let’s jump right in to the seating chart wall, shall we? I mean LOOK at this gorgeous wall! If you want to make an impression, seating charts are a great place to start. White Ink designed the custom, laser-cut calligraphy title “Sip and Be Seated” for this showstopper of a seating chart.

Next, we created the escort cards to slip over the champagne flutes that lined the entire wall. (I love that I get to say that sentence). I appreciate the duality of using this wall as a way to seat your guests and get the cocktail hour started. Very clever! 

White Ink customized Molly and Killian’s mirrored wedding welcome sign which was beautifully paired with florals that spilled over the edges. I honestly love when couples use their florals with signage like this. It’s always such a fantastic balance of softness and elegance. 

Molly and Killian chose to use our table numbers that were designed with gold ink and completed with gold foil edges. These table numbers are some of my favorites from the White Ink collection!  

Want to know what’s kind of the cutest thing ever? Bathroom selfie lettering! Imagine taking a moment for a quick wardrobe check and being greeted with the message, “Hey gorgeous, get back on the dance floor” written on the bathroom mirror. You wouldn’t have to tell me twice! Wedding receptions need this energy. 

White Ink completed this dreamboat of a wedding by creating custom cocktail lettering! These are so, so fun to make. I absolutely love getting to do orders like this, partly because I know how much people are going to enjoy it. I promise you if this is ever something you choose to add to your cocktail hour, your guests will be impressed! 

Cheers to the happy couple! And thank you for all the timeless wedding inspo!

“Forever Grateful” | Neeka + Nick | 9.11.21 

“Forever Grateful” | Neeka + Nick | 9.11.21 

Every once in a while, our team at White Ink gets to be a part of some incredibly unique projects for our amazing brides and grooms. Neeka and Nick asked us to be a part of making their dream wedding stand out in a way we will always remember.  

This Chicago couple came down to Twin Falls at Rock Island Tennessee State Park to say, “I do”. We are so happy they did, because this wedding day definitely made its mark on our hearts!  

After an unforgettable ceremony held in front of a WATERFALL, this sweet pair celebrated their nuptials with friends and family in an intimate reception at the lovely Cookeville Estate.  

White Ink was happy to customize their mirrored wedding welcome sign that greeted each guest with the lettering “And so, our adventure begins.” I love the peace that comes after reading a message like this one, and it was the perfect fit for Neeka and Nick!  

Perhaps one of the most moving details of this Tennessee wedding was how Neeka and Nick chose to remember a very important day in our nation’s history. Their wedding day fell on the 20th anniversary of the terrible events that occurred on September 11th. This poignant moment was not lost on our couple. They chose to honor this day and the lives that were lost by having a Remembrance Table at their reception. I was given the incredible honor of penning a custom letter that was displayed on this table.  

The powerful gesture to hold space for those who lost their lives as victims or as first responders on September 11th was the most incredible tribute I’ve seen at a wedding. As Neeka and Nick put it, we are “Forever grateful.” 

Neeka thoughtfully decided to gift her new husband a bottle of Blanton’s Bourbon which she had White Ink custom engrave for him! I LOVE when we get to do projects like this because these gifts are one-of-a-kind, and they carry a memory that will last for a lifetime!  

For those looking for a gift that leaves a big impression, engraving bottles of bubbly or spirits always brings that wow factor.  

Of course, the White Ink team did what we do best and put together an amazing invitation suite for Neeka and Nick. YES, to envelope calligraphy, ya’ll. Look how stunning white looks over top the navy envelopes!  

The vintage postage further elevates this look. And little details like a print of The Cookville Estate at the top on the invite perfectly ties the whole day together, from invitation to reception.  

Neeka and Nick, you truly know how to turn a wedding into a memorable experience for all involved. This is a day we will remember for years to come, and for that, we are forever grateful. Cheers!
