At White Ink Calligraphy + Co., we specialize in creating custom wedding stationery and event details that tell your love story from the very first impression to the last dance of the evening. This elegant spring wedding at Cheekwood Estate and Gardens in Nashville was a perfect example of how thoughtful design can transform a celebration into something unforgettable.
Elegant Spring Wedding Details
The couple chose a dreamy palette of light blue, white, and soft green accents, perfectly suited for Cheekwood’s lush spring gardens. We carried these colors throughout their entire wedding stationery suite and event signage for a cohesive, elevated look.
Wedding Invitations | Grand Millennial Maximalism Meets Timeless Elegance
We started with their invitation suite. Featuring letterpress printing, a custom monogram, and an intricate envelope liner adorned with a bird illustration, the design was a nod to grand millennial maximalism. If you aren’t familiar with this design term, it is a trending style right now that combines more traditional elements with a modern twist, creating a detailed, yet polished and refined style.
The Custom Monogram
That custom monogram we designed on the invite became a signature design element for the wedding day. It appeared on the menus at each guest’s place setting, a stunning fabric backdrop at the reception, and, my favorite, on the dance floor wrap itself! Seeing our design come to life in such a grand format was a true “pinch-me” moment.
Statement Seating Chart & Welcome Sign
The seating chart was a showstopper! This elegant, tall display had guest names written in light blue calligraphy on a crisp white background. We framed the chart with the same floral-and-bird artwork from the envelope liner, creating a sense of connection between the invitations and the reception space.
The welcome sign echoed this same border detail, featuring a white oval center with the wording placed inside. It greeted guests and set the tone for the celebration ahead.
Place Cards with a Pop of Color
For the place cards, folded squares featured guests names in light blue with a soft floral and green border. Peep- The same border design can also be seen on the details card from their invitation suite! This subtle color combination perfectly tied into the tablescape’s springtime elegance, offering a fresh and cheerful finishing touch.
Designing for the Spring Season
When we began designing this suite, it was still the middle of winter, but these invitations gave us serious spring fever and got us SO EXCITED for spring weddings! This wedding was just as beautiful as we imagined and it was an honor to create so many elegant and beautiful details for their Cheekwood wedding day.
