Kate and Alex’s spring garden wedding at The Sewanee Inn felt effortless and cohesive as we worked hard to ensure all the details worked together to create a flawless experience and visual for guests. Soft spring hues, romantic florals, and breathtaking views all came together to create a celebration that felt fresh and romantic. As we were working on the details of this wedding, we discovered that the bride works at the same hospital as Townley’s husband. We are always amazed at what a small world it is!

The couple exchanged vows at Kate’s family cabin in Sewanee, TN. The rolling Tennessee hills created the most incredible backdrop for their ceremony before heading to The Sewanee Inn for the reception. Paired with peach and blush florals, the entire day felt like a romantic spring garden brought to life.

Spring Invitation Suite and Custom Envelope Liner

Kate and Alex’s invitation suite immediately introduced guests to the beauty that awaited them. Their letterpress invitation was paired with paper pieces in soft shades of sage green, dusty blue, and blush pink. This fresh spring palette was used in other details of the day.

One of our favorite elements was the custom envelope liner featuring an illustration of the beautiful Tennessee landscape where the couple would exchange vows. This beautiful artwork became the visual thread that connected to many other wedding details.

One of our favorite ways to create a cohesive guest experience is by carrying elements from the invitation suite into the wedding day details. For Kate and Alex, we incorporated the illustrated landscape from the envelope liner into both the welcome sign and the bar menu, using a muted version of the artwork behind the lettering. These subtle details created continuity that guests notice and appreciate.

We also designed the phone-free ceremony sign in the same soft green color found in the invitation suite. Classic white ceremony programs welcomed guests as they found their seats at the hilltop ceremony, which was absolutely breathtaking.

With stunning views and lush floral installations by Rosemary & Finch, the setting hardly needed any embellishment. The romantic arrangements of peach, blush, and soft pink blooms elevated the ceremony while allowing the natural beauty to remain the star of the show.

A Floral Bouquet Seating Chart

Inside the reception at The Sewanee Inn, guests discovered a beautiful floral bouquet seating chart. A white tablecloth with a light green foliage print anchored the design as fresh spring blooms in shades of peach and blush covered the table. Nestled among the flowers were the white seating assignment cards with light green lettering.

Enchanting Garden Tablescape

After finding their seats, guests sat down to round, light green menus with their name written in calligraphy directly on the menu. The circular shape of the menu allowed it to sit perfectly on the woven style plate. Coordinating table numbers in gold holders sat at each table as more stunning spring flowers lined the center. It created the feeling of dining in an elegant spring garden and had such a soft, romantic vibe.

For cocktail hour, we designed custom napkins featuring an adorable sketch of the couple’s dog alongside the words, “I do, too,” and their wedding date. It was such a playful way to include their beloved pup in the celebration.

We also created custom matchboxes personalized with the couple’s names and wedding date. This timeless favor allowed guests to take home a keepsake from the weekend.

Kate and Alex’s wedding perfectly illustrates how thoughtful design creates a memorable experience for all.

At White Ink Calligraphy + Co, we love creating weddings where every element tells a story and is connected to a bigger vision. When invitations, signage, and other custom details all work together, they become part of the experience your guests will remember long after the wedding day.
