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. Getting to watch these nuptials unfold at the Boston Public Library 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, with weddings like this one, are something we keep close to our hearts.
The detail that I just can’t get over- Georgi’s veil alone was enough to stop us in our tracks. Draped gently behind her long dark hair, this stunning piece was having a moment!
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 and elevated with a beautiful black, vellum overlay which included a custom sketch of the Boston Public Library! 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.
Just as Georgi and Jason’s invitation suite and wedding welcome sign harnessed a delicate boldness, so did the table numbers which sat perfectly into the formal 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. But getting to meet our couples where they are is something we cherish and are always honored to do. 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 for us at White Ink. I am so moved 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!
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.
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! I was honored that they invited White Ink to take part in delivering a rehearsal to remember!
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. I especially love that the floral print we used on the rehearsal invite liner was also used when customizing the table number signs for this beautiful couple.
I always love to see that gorgeous dusty blue hue. Our couple incorporated this color throughout the entire evening, and I simply didn’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.
Cason and Eddie chose the ever-stunning Noelle in Nashville to welcome their close friends and family to their wedding celebrations. White Ink 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,” 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 monogramed 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!
Classic display of the custom menu we designed 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!
We were honored to join our couple, Cason and Eddie, in one of the most meaningful nights of their lives! They made sure that their family and wedding party received a proper welcome. We cannot wait to share more details about their wedding day too! For now, we will hold on to memories that were made “The Night Before.”
He’s making a list and checkin’ it twice! We are gearing up to roll out our very popular Letters from Santa!
A Christmas tradition for many children around the world is getting to sit down and write their letter to Santa! You may have even done this yourself as a child, listing your favorite toys, games and treats in hopes of getting what you “wish” for. This rite of passage plays an important role in the magic of celebrating Christmas. If this is a tradition that your family likes to take part in, then we are so excited to share what White Ink has for you!
We think that writing to the North Pole doesn’t have to be a one-way street. This is our favorite time of year because we finally get to offer our “Letters from Santa”! And they are SO much fun! These letters are the perfect way to add to the joy that children delightfully dive into during this time of year.
Each of our letters from Santa includes custom calligraphy on the front of the envelope showing your child’s name. The envelopes are beautifully lined with a properly seasonal tartan plaid liner which always delivers that “holiday feel”. Inside, your child will find their card from Santa Claus confirming that they made it to the Nice List! (Phew!)
The letter is sealed with a Santa monogram wax seal. And finally, each letter from Santa will be complete with vintage Christmas postage. Of course, the postage will be stamped by the North Pole because it totally came from there! Don’t worry though, we will mail your letter in a white flat mailer addressed to you (NOT your child). You get to choose the perfect time for your little one to discover that Santa has a big surprise for them, and it’s not even Christmas yet!
We are excited to add that Santa has updated his desk stationary! This year, White Ink is offering a chance for parents to get in on the fun by including a “Naughty List” card this holiday season. If you’re looking for a cheeky way to bring a laugh to a spouse, friend or family, send them a letter from the jolly old man himself and enjoy the smile it brings to them.
The only thing that could make this any better is adding our adorable little gift tags from the North Pole, more importantly, from Santa! This is just another small detail that can keep the magic going all the way to Christmas Day! Place these onto the gifts that the “elves” worked so hard to make as an official gift from Santa. I especially love the holly floral print on these little guys!
For the kids (and parents) who are still fully wrapped in the magic and enchantment of the holidays, receiving a letter from Santa Claus is sure to leave a lasting impression. Christmas isn’t just a time of year, it’s a feeling. A child will never forget what it felt like to open the letter that Santa wrote just for them. And White Ink is proud to make this happen for your sweet kiddos and family. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Kayla and Caleb’s Nashville wedding was an absolute dream! This picturesque event of classic and timeless details was something you just couldn’t take your eyes off of. From the gothic style architecture of Scarritt Bennett’s Wightman Chapel to the grandeur of Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, there wasn’t a stone left unturned as Kayla and Caleb carefully placed together one of the best Nashville weddings White Ink has seen. I want to share with you all of the finer details that we were honored to be a part of. Hopefully you can take away some serious wedding inspo from this gorgeous day!
We designed our couple’s wedding invitation suite to embody the elegance of their big day. A custom monogram delicately stood out on the beautiful card stock. I loved adding the extra touch of using a custom, monogram, gold, wax seal for the envelopes. These are small details that pack a big impression!
Programs- What separates White Ink from big box paper retailers? We make it our job to take out the guess work! We understand what should go into your programs, we know how many you need, the size, where to “splurge”, and how even to incorporate elements form your invitation suite. We have the experience and the expertise to help you get EXACTLY what you need for important, day-of details just like this.
It’s hard to top the simple elegance a mirrored seating chart. I have always loved how the white lettering on the glass instantly elevates the beauty of this double-rib framed mirror. Kayla and Caleb styled this gorgeous seating chart with florals (always a good idea!) and surrounded it with glass vases holding floating candles. I can’t think of a better way to be invited to take my seat at a table in the opulent Schermerhorn. Divine!
The most elegant part to these custom designed reception menus is that each menu had the guests’ names calligraphed directly on to them. This is why I love what I do! I love when my couples give me the chance to really elevate the finer details of their reception. And yes, guests DO notice little things just like this and often appreciate the level of attention.
Kayla and Caleb went with one of my favorite bar signs from our rental collection. We customized the drink menu to fit with the style of all other day-of paper goods as well as the invitation suite. And please take a moment to gush over the print of their sweet pup, Cash, on the cocktail napkins! Cocktail napkins are the perfect moment to bring in something special or personal to your big day. And it’s a detail that will be cherished forever.
I think one of the most appreciated details of the evening were these adorable koozies that we customized for Kayla and Caleb! They once again took time to personalize an item that guests were able to use and enjoy. It was the perfect little koozie for guests to use with their drinks while they let loose on the Schermerhorn dance floor! I couldn’t love this more.
For the White Ink team, this was a night to remember. Nights like this make us proud to do what we do. We love making our couples happy! Kayla and Caleb were an amazing couple to work with. They knew exactly what they wanted and trusted us to pull their vision together. And we are honored to do just that. Cheers to the happy couple!
When it comes to planning a spring wedding in Nashville that can deliver an enchanting array of florals, Cheekwood reigns supreme. If you know me, then you probably hear me talk about my obsession with florals especially when it comes to invitations. The cherry on top is when the very florals we use to design invitation suites actually match the florals of the event and can be seen throughout the decor of the day!
This past April, White Ink had the honor of working with the sweetest couple on their wedding day stationary details. Molly and Cam share the same love for florals that I do and together, we created one of my favorite suites to date. I’m so excited to share this one.
This invitation suite was so inspiring for me and the White Ink team to create. We loved having the chance to let the beauty of florals and calligraphy interlace in the most magnificent ways.
This invitation is designed using full spot calligraphy in dusty rose ink and letter pressed onto beautiful, white stock card. I love the unique, tilted orientation of the print. Each of these details makes this invite so very memorable to the guests receiving them.
It’s important that I point out one of the best parts about this suite. The floral design that is printed on the beautiful dusty rose liner is the very floral print that lined the bar at the reception area of the wedding day. Tying together wedding day details is a top tier move, tying together floral details is magical.
Our fun continued with Molly and Cam’s guest escort cards. These cards were done using a delicate scalloped card stock. Spot calligraphy on, you guessed it, dusty rose (a fast favorite for many of our clients!).
I personally love the way these gently designed escort cards were displayed on a grand, round, linen table topped with bold florals. It’s all about balance, this is a gorgeously perfect example.
Molly and Cam took the time to bring in florals throughout the wedding day decor which was only enhanced by the remarkable scenery of Cheekwood. I look back on this project fondly and I am so proud of how wonderfully it all came together for our amazing couple. Florals seem to speak their own special language that people intuitively understand. Florals represent life, they represent love. Florals are forever.
