I am so excited to share the details from this timeless black and white wedding at The Trillium Venue in East Tennessee. There is so much to love about this wedding, from the breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains to the detailed artwork and wine seating chart we had the joy of designing. This wedding had a modern, romantic vibe that paired effortlessly with the venue’s architecture, floor-to-ceiling windows, and panoramic backdrop. It’s easy to see why Kaitlan and Michael chose The Trillium as the setting for their gorgeous wedding day.
We had the honor of designing the couple’s custom invitations and day-of wedding details. Every element reflected the elegant, timeless, and classic vision they had for their day.
Black and White Invitation Suite with Custom Artwork
The invitation suite was truly a work of art. Designed in a classic black-and-white palette, the suite featured elegant typography and a custom details card with artwork of significant places from the couple’s wedding weekend.
We designed artwork of The Pines, the charming venue where the rehearsal dinner took place, and The Trillium, where their wedding day unfolded. The event timeline included playful illustrations for food, cocktails, music, and more, giving guests a preview of all that was to come.
A sleek black band held the suite together featuring the couple’s names and wedding date in white. It was simple, refined, and elevated and just like the celebration itself. I love how this wedding invitation set the tone for their wedding day.
Wine-Inspired Seating Chart
One of our favorite details was the wine bottle seating chart wall, inspired by the bride’s vision. She expressed early on that she dreamed of having a wine seating chart. And we always try to make our clients’ dreams a reality! To make her vision to come to life, we designed and created a packable display that could be transported from Nashville to East Tennessee.
The bride’s father and the groom came to pick up the display before the wedding day, and you could tell it was bonding time for them! They were the absolute sweetest. The father of the bride even shared a little about his upcoming speech for the wedding leaving us all teary-eyed!
At the wedding, the display featured three rows of three sleek black shelves mounted on a crisp white wall. The nine wine bottles featured each guest’s name in alphabetical order along with their assigned on a custom wine label. Greenery was woven throughout the display for a natural, romantic finish. Beside it stood a clean white title sign with the couple’s last name, The Hauns, and the words “Please Be Seated” in classic black lettering.
Day-of Details: Wedding Signage
Every detail carried through the couple’s timeless aesthetic. Greeting guests with elegance was the wedding welcome sign, which was a gold-framed mirrored sign featuring “Forever Starts Here” in white calligraphy at the top, along with the couple’s names and wedding date at the bottom.
We also created two different bar signs. One was a modern black acrylic sign that listed available drink options in white lettering, keeping things sleek.
The other was a white specialty cocktail sign with black lettering and illustrations of the couple’s signature drinks, which included an Espresso Martini, Old Fashioned, and Blackberry Lemonade.
Timeless Black and White Wedding Details
The Trillium Venue is truly stunning inside and out. Even from inside, guests can still take in the scenic mountain views through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The tablescapes at the reception wove their timeless black and white theme with crisp white napkins sitting atop black plates. black place cards with white calligraphy created a striking contrast. White floral centerpieces and flickering candlelight elevated the romance of the setting.
Every piece of stationery and signage was designed to reflect the couple’s elegant and classic vision, while also including a touch of personality. Weaving in custom details throughout their wedding day added personality, shared their story, and set the stage for a truly unforgettable wedding day.
Kaitlan and Michael, thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!
