We are back at the enchanting Southall Farm and Inn as we take part in elevating the gorgeous wedding of White Ink couple, Brittanie and Tristen. This wedding touches all the senses, as textures and colors burst throughout the Franklin, TN venue.For this elegant, black tie wedding, we created several fun and unique textured details. From fabric signs to stone table numbers, we loved putting all our creative energy to use to make their vision come alive.
Elegant Wedding Invitation Suite
Brittanie and Tristen’s invitation complete with letterpress on hand-torn stock card created an incredibly elegant feel and look for their big day. Wedding invites have the power to truly set the tone for the entire event. I love when our couples understand how important it is to not skip the delicate details that give their guests the very first impression of what’s to come.
Note the pressed image of the Southall venue gently placed over the invite. It’s a small yet mighty detail that makes this invite one-of-a-kind.
Another detail that we must highlight in this suite is the beautiful envelope liner. In my opinion, envelope liners are simply a must, especially when finding ways to customize your wedding invitation suite. I like to think of it as the lining of a fancy jacket; it’s a place to pull in color and even have some fun and make it yours!
“I’m in heaven for your wedding, so what shall I do? I’ll come back to earth to spend it with you. So save me a seat, just a comfy chair, you may not see me, but I will be there.” This touching poem was placed on a fabric banner along with the names of those from Brittanie and Tristen’s life who have passed on. It was an honor for us at White Ink to be involved in such a sentimental part of the ceremony and create this loving gesture for our couple.
Custom Fabric Bar Sign
For cocktail hour, Brittanie and Tristen chose to utilize fabric for the custom bar sign. I like getting the chance to showcase our work as we step off the paper and onto other textures! The look of the fabric bar sign, on the thick wooden bar decorated with soft florals is perfectly inviting as guests make the transition from ceremony to reception. Also, I can guarantee guests will not forget a sign like this!
The title of this custom escort wall says it all: “Love in Full Bloom”. Brittanie and Tristen’s seating chart was so much fun to help create. As if the cascading florals all around aren’t enough to brighten this display, we kept it coming with custom escort cards attached to individual flowers. I like to think of them as small tokens to carry on the mood and energy of this fantastic day.
Textured Reception Details
The delicious menu selection was printed on a beautiful stock card and placed underneath a delicate place card with baby blue ribbons. I think it’s important to point out the spectacular usage of texture from Brittanie and Tristen’s reception. Guests soaked in the beauty of soft linens, traditional and modern glassware, abundant florals, and warm candlelight. THIS is how you create the mood and keep the guests engaged in every sense. I could have stayed here forever.
I have been so excited to showcase these table numbers! Talk about texture! These custom stone table numbers from our extensive rental collection are a favorite of ours at White Ink. We were thrilled to provide these at the reception for Brittanie and Tristen. They created the perfect balance of the texture-filled tablescapes and were undoubtedly a main conversation piece. Reception decor is a wonderful time to show your style and personality just as Brittanie and Tristen did. The Roman numerals were an excellent touch.
Here’s to Brittanie and Tristen. For trusting White Ink with the finer details of this fine day. The love, the people, the creativity is something that will stay with us for many years to come. Cheers!

Fixed among the serene beauty of rural Franklin, TN, Southall Farm & Inn lent itself to one of the most gently breathtaking weddings we’ve been a part of. White Ink couple, Lauren and John, allowed us to create custom spring wedding details for their incredible wedding day and we were honored to do it.
Classic Invitation Suite
Coming in on the heels of spring, just before the summer wedding season, this special day proved to be perfect in so many ways. We began with designing Lauren and John’s impressive and quintessentially classic invitation suite. There is a notable balance of boldness and delicacy as the envelope liner with a print of the gorgeous foothills of the Southall venue jumps right off the paper while the vellum sleeve softly wraps around the classic letterpressed invitation. A perfectly placed, dusty-rose, wax seal to close the vellum wrap added an extra charm that effortlessly tied the suite together. It really was the perfect invite.
Notice that the custom wax seal not only matched the dusty rose color of the RSVP card, but it also boasts florals to match the ones found on the vellum wrap. There is nothing that elevates a wedding like tying together details throughout!
From the bride’s bouquet to a cascade of florals used for the arbor, we couldn’t get enough of the gorgeous flowers bursting through each part of this spring wedding!
Chic, sleek, and simple – the bar menu that we prepared for Lauren and John fit perfectly into the bar’s clean look and layered textures. Guests definitely enjoyed the inviting vibe of this delicious cocktail hour. How could you not?
We helped guests to their seats with a tastefully designed seating chart. I adore the soft gray lettering against the white signage as flower arrangements kissed the bottom of the chart. Florals and signage just go together, there’s just nothing else like it!
Custom Spring Wedding Details
One of the most exciting things for us at White Ink is when our couples request the “designer’s choice” for some of their details and signage. Sometimes, brides and grooms know exactly what they’re looking for with these types of details and decor. However, there are others who just aren’t sure what would look best. We LIVE for these moments! Not only is this what we do, but more than that, it means that our couples completely trust us and our experience.
Customized Wedding Reception Details
For Lauren and John, we were happy to flex our creative muscles to come up with these stunning table numbers for their reception. We surprised them with a frosted acrylic to match the vellum wrap we made for the invitations, as well as etched florals from the vellum wrap. We then mounted it against a laser-cut number in white acrylic to natural wood. Designer’s choice and a chef’s kiss.
Menus are another great opportunity for brides and grooms tie in special details. Lauren and John chose the same letter press wording and hue of that of their wedding invites.
These menus were simply made for this tablescape as they tucked effortlessly against the napkins and place settings. Never stealing the show, only elevating it.
Lauren and John were a delight to work with from start to finish! It was an honor to be a part of their big day. The couple ensured that every guest felt special, and that every detail mattered. This is a wedding that will certainly be hard to forget. A toast to the happy couple- a toast to forever. Cheers!

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!
Elegant Winter Wedding Details
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!

The September sky gave way to one of the most gorgeous and memorable weddings we’ve put our touch on, and it couldn’t have happened to a sweeter couple. Witnessing their Boston Public Library wedding day unfold was the cherry on top! Georgi and Jason put together an amazing wedding, and as thrilled as we were to be a part of it all, we hated to see the day come to an end. Couples like this, and weddings like this one, are something we keep close to our hearts.
The detail that I just can’t get over- the veil! Georgi’s veil alone was enough to stop us in our tracks. Draped gently behind her long dark hair, this stunning piece needed its own moment!
Boston Public Library Wedding Details
Georgi and Jason’s invitation suite boasted a seamless balance of delicate and bold features. Full calligraphy done in rose gold ink complimented the black envelopes beautifully. The invitation suite was letter-pressed with spot calligraphy on stock paper. A beautiful black, vellum overlay elevated the suite and included a custom sketch of the Boston Public Library! This was so much fun to create and one of my favorite details. Vintage postage and a custom rose gold wax seal completed this impeccable design.
White Ink was honored to add to the breathtaking staircase entrance of this unforgettable venue. The sharp black wedding welcome sign topped with white lettering, stood out against an impressive array of florals and lit candles which demanded the attention of each guest as they passed by.
Elegant and Chic Reception Details
Just as Georgi and Jason’s invitation suite and wedding welcome sign harnessed a delicate boldness, so did the table numbers which sat perfectly within the elevated tablescape for their reception. There are times when table signage takes an unassuming role among the tablescape, but then there are moments when table signs play an important part in grabbing the guest’s attention. These sharp lines and block signage with gold numbers set against the soft florals and candles and white linen offered a uniquely formal taste and modern, chic appearance to the 170-year-old venue. A detail which was beautifully and purposefully done.
We love our Nashville couples, that’s no secret. However, the opportunity to meet our couples where they are is something we cherish. Finding ourselves at the Boston Public Library in the presence of Georgi and Jason along with their closest family and friends was an incredible moment. It was such an honor to have been a part of this incredible journey with the perfect couple. To Georgi and Jason, thanks for the memories that will last forever. 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!
Multi-Textured Wedding Details
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!
Fun Fact: I hand painted this seating chart sign while onsite at Southall! A one-of-a-kind experience for a one-of-a-kind wedding!
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.
The table numbers were displayed using these super cute gold square bases, that are a part of our extensive collection. These versatile pieces can fit into nearly any style or theme. This little detail tied together our couple’s picturesque tablescape.
Getting to be onsite for Emily and Avnish’s wedding was truly a gift. One that I will always cherish. This couple will always hold a special place in our hearts as the first couple we hosted in our studio! Their trust in the work that we do here at White Ink was unmatched. Cheers to the happy couple and to their Franklin Fairytale!

A bride and groom’s time to shine isn’t narrowed down to just one day. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments happen in the days surrounding a wedding day. One of the biggest roles of a rehearsal dinner is to allow the bride and group an opportunity to properly welcome family and the wedding party. Cason and Eddie set the bar for what a rehearsal dinner should look like and feel like! White Ink was honored to take part in delivering this rehearsal dinner to remember!
Rehearsal Dinner Invite + Paper Goods
White Ink knows how to deliver the goods…. paper goods! Cason and Eddie’s June nuptials offered the perfect chance for them to use the beauty of summer floral prints. The rehearsal invite liner featured a beautiful floral print also found on the custom table number signs at the reception.
I always love to see that gorgeous dusty blue hue. Our couple incorporated this color throughout the entire evening, and I simply couldn’t get enough of it.
Notice the “C.E.” monogram sporting more gorgeous blue summer floral prints on both the custom Rehearsal Dinner menu and invite.
The Night Before Welcome Sign
Cason and Eddie chose the ever-stunning Noelle in Nashville to welcome their close friends and family to their wedding celebrations. We collaborated with Hill Event Rentals to put together this amazing welcome sign that was tucked perfectly against a draped entryway. The florals that lined the bottom of the sign was the cherry on top that made this welcome sign the delicate focal point that it was. Teamwork!
“Your Seat Awaits”
“Your Seat Awaits,” topped the escort card display. Hill Event Rentals once again showcased some of their best work with building this display to match the Welcome Sign display. White Ink did what we do best and added the laser-cut text along with individually calligraphed place cards, complete with a custom monogram wax seal.
Remember, event signage doesn’t have to be cold or bossy. Direct your guests in a warm and beautiful way! Feel free to make it unique and even playful! We love helping our clients with these ideas.
The table numbers fit perfectly into the stunning formal tablescapes in the Noelle’s Sadiee Gallery Grand Ballroom. They simple belonged in this room!
The place cards elevated the show-stopping tablescape and fit effortlessly alongside the goldware at each place setting. This is a perfect example of how one seemingly small detail can really pack a big decor punch!
Custom Event Menus
We designed a classic, custom menu for Cason and Eddie. Carrying details like color and prints throughout the whole of an event sends a message of intention and thoughtfulness and can show guests that their enjoyment is a really big part of the planning process!
Cason and Eddie made sure that their family and wedding party received a proper welcome. It meant so much to be a part of this rehearsal dinner to remember! We cannot wait to share more details about their wedding day too! For now, we will hold onto memories that were made “The Night Before.”
