There is an old proverb that says, “A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.” Within the pages of a book one can find beauty, power, and adventure that is universally understood. This is something that book lovers far and wide keep close to their hearts. And for our couple, Christy and Oliver, nothing was more fitting than being surrounded by an array of literature on their big day. White Ink was honored to be invited to the Nashville Public Library to help our bride and groom turn the page as they stepped into a new chapter of their lives!

For starters, I want to share this fantastic invitation suite with you! Complete with keepsake tasseled bookmarks and a custom sketch of the Nashville Public Library. These invites are just…. everything.

White Ink designed Christy and Oliver’s reception menus to look like vintage library book check-out cards! Is this not THE most perfect thing for a wedding at a library?! I love when our couples invite us to have fun in creating these parts of their wedding details. This is one that our team will always remember!

Guests were wowed with the seating chart we helped bring together for our bride and groom. The escort cards doubled as keepsake bookmarks! This event was clever from start to finish with so many details like this being carried throughout. These are things that guests ALWAYS notice and remember for a long time.

I can’t get enough of this black and white checkered flooring and how well it makes this seating chart pop!

When your reception is in the middle of a gorgeous library, a simple touch of elegance is enough to seriously elevate the look and decor of the room. Classic black, calligraphed table numbers nestled on top of the bright white table linen was the chef’s kiss to this tablescape. Dreamy, classy, smart.

Custom place cards sat at the head of each place setting for Christy and Oliver’s reception. When it comes to impressing your guests and making them feel like they were a big part of your event planning, place cards truly take the cake! It is a very personal and intentional detail that has a big impact on the person sitting in front of it. I love it when a couple appreciates details like these. Peep those adorable check-out card menus!

Christy and Oliver were an absolute delight to work with and we are forever grateful to get the chance to help elevate some of the most meaningful details of the day. Just like the guests, I know I will be talking about this wedding for a long time to come. For the White Ink team, this wedding was one… for the books.
