Never underestimate the power of an envelope liner. For Emily and Walker’s Diamond Creek Farm wedding we designed their custom floral artwork for their envelope liner, and it became the thread that tied their entire wedding palette together! On top of the gorgeous details, this wedding was extra special because we also created items for Emily’s sister’s wedding as well.
The fact that the calligraphy between these sisters’ weddings matches and was from my hands is so incredibly special. I also absolutely loved working with their mom on both weddings too. They are just the sweetest family! It is so heartwarming to get to know families through our work and even more special to continue to work with them throughout the special events of their lives.
Custom Floral Artwork on Envelope Liners
The invitations brought elegant vibes with white paper and gold calligraphy, however, the stand out feature was the custom floral artwork on their envelope liner.
We also placed the couple’s monogram on the main invite. The same monogram with a similar floral design was used on the wedding programs and menus we created!
Cocktail Hour Details
The details didn’t stop there though! The monogram was also used on the koozies we did, which guests could pick up from a basket at the bar area.
While grabbing a koozie, they would see another appearance of the floral artwork from the envelope liner beautifully displayed on the bar back.
Then as guests settled in with a cocktail and conversation, they would notice the cozy throw pillows in the soft seating area were wrapped in the floral pattern.
The thoughtful details continued inside the venue for their reception where the stage front featured the floral pattern as well as the wallpapered backdrop for their wedding cake. Everything felt so elevated, cohesive, and intentional. The couple went above and beyond to create an immersive experience.
Not to mention, the stunning flowers by Knestrick by Design that decorated the reception space were soft and elegant, complementing the floral artwork, as well as the colors and dreamy style of their wedding design.
Floral artwork on Wallpaper Backdrop
The wallpaper backdrop for the cake was such a unique way to tie in this detail. it was the icing on the cake (pun intended) of the wedding design. This beautiful, all-white cake stood out wonderfully with the floral backdrop behind it!

As a full-service wedding design house in Nashville, we love working with couples and planners to create wedding details that reflect each couples’ unique vision. It is such a treat to create custom pieces that tell your story, and are thoughtfully woven into your day. Lexi Jo and Landry’s artistic and colorful wedding at Belle Meade Historic Site in Nashville, Tennessee, was the perfect example of how vibrant colors and meaningful design can come together to create something truly beautiful and unforgettable.
Sherbet Hues and Hand-Painted Details
Their wedding invitations were one-of-a-kind. The main invite was both elegant and southern in style with white card stock and blue calligraphy. Then there was the cowboy boot-shaped welcome party piece, which hinted at the fun cowboy cocktail dress code. It was playful, memorable, and full of personality just like the couple! This was the perfect base for the pop of sherbet orange on the rsvp and wedding details card. The combination of white and blue, and the creamy orange hue were carried throughout the day.
However, our favorite moment of this suite was the groom’s hand-painted floral artwork that was included on the vellum overlay (as well as many other wedding details) that held all the paper pieces together with a wax seal.
Day-of Details That Brought the Color Palette to Life
The celebration continued with colorful, cohesive paper goods that carried their sherbet-toned color palette and floral focused design into every space.
Wedding Welcome Sign
A white, rounded welcome sign featuring Southern-inspired blue calligraphy greeted guests, framed by a stunning floral arrangement bursting with vibrant pinks, purples, and oranges. As guests entered the outdoor ceremony site covered in gorgeous florals they could pick up a wedding program. We designed the programs on classic white paper with blue calligraphy and a floral element from the suite brought a cohesive and elegant finishing touch to the ceremony space.
Elegant Seating Chart
The seating chart was a show-stopping display and one of my favorite details. The display featured soft blue lettering on a white background that had a 3D effect with stunning florals arranged at the base. The mix of low florals and tall stemmed blooms created a romantic, layered look that perfectly complemented the venue’s charm.
Bar Sign
We created an oval bar sign in steel blue, with white calligraphy framed by the same floral border from the invitation art. This visual tie-in made the entire event feel thoughtfully styled.
Reception Tablescape and Details
As guests moved inside for the reception they found their menus tucked into a custom die-cut orange pocket, again featuring Landry’s floral artwork. The menus and orange acrylic table numbers popped against the blue linens and tied into the colorful spring floral centerpieces.
Lexi Jo and Landry’s wedding was full of color, romance, and intention. It was a joy to work them, and lean in to their love of color and design, as well as the rest of the amazing vendor team who brought this wedding dream to life!

Set against the stately backdrop of Ravenswood Mansion in Brentwood, TN, this colorful garden wedding was a breathtaking blend of timeless design and heartfelt celebration. We had the joy of designing a variety of paper goods and signage for this stunning wedding day. Gold took center stage in all the designs and was thoughtfully woven into a variety of elements. Classic gold wedding details and accents played a part in bringing this stunning, garden-inspired wedding to life.
A Gold-Kissed Invitation Suite
The invitation suite truly set the tone for the day with an elegant mix of gold calligraphy and classic styling. One of our favorite moments from this invite was the custom sketch of Ravenswood Mansion that lined each envelope! It was an inviting nod to the historic beauty of the venue. The couple’s custom monogram added a layer of sophistication, making its debut on the invitation and reappearing throughout the wedding day for a cohesive, elevated look.
Day-of Details
That same monogram reappeared on the couple’s wedding programs, which echoed the gold-ink design of the invitation but with a soft floral border that added a romantic, garden-inspired flair.
A gold-framed mirror welcome sign greeted guests as they arrived, setting the tone for the refined celebration ahead. The full-length mirror seating chart, also displayed in an ornate gold frame, guided guests gracefully to their seats.
Throughout the reception, every detail was thoughtfully styled. Tables featured white table numbers with gold numerals, nestled among vibrant summer florals.
White place cards with gold calligraphy coordinated with the seating chart, guiding guests to their seats, while gold-framed signature drink signage and custom bar decals added personality to the bar area. The couple’s monogram even graced frost flex cups, tying everything together seamlessly across every touchpoint.
A Celebration to Remember
These two graduates of the University of Tennessee Knoxville had a gorgeous wedding day vision that balanced color with classic neutrals. It was a perfect blend of personality and timeless style. The amazing and incredibly talented planner, Dana McCollum, expertly planned the entire day to flow beautifully.
We loved seeing how gold became the thread that tied everything together, creating a memorable, joyful, and elevated wedding day. It’s a beautiful reminder that paper details aren’t just decorative! They shape the guest experience and make a wedding feel truly you.
Congratulations to the happy couple, and thank you for trusting White Ink Calligraphy + Co. to be a part of your unforgettable day at Ravenswood!

Nashville is home to many amazing wedding venues, but this luxury lakeside venue sitting on 15 beautiful acres is one of my top favorites. The Claybrooks’ luxurious fall wedding at Cherokee Docks combined romantic elegance with interactive fun. Personalized touches and breathtaking details filled the entire weekend, and we were honored to play a part in it all.
We worked closely with the fabulous mother of the bride, Kelly, who planned every last detail of her daughter’s big day with care and intention. Kelly truly had a vision, and bringing that to life through elegant invitations and paper goods, custom signage, and unforgettable installations was such a joy for our team!
Custom Sketches for an Elegant Invitation Suite
Guests were first introduced to the weekend with a custom save the date featuring an engagement photo underneath a vellum overlay with the event details printed on top. Held together with a gold grommet, this piece was an interactive and modern way to include a photo while keeping the aesthetic cohesive and timeless. Read more about this and other fun and unique Save the Dates here!
The couple’s invitation suite was a perfect reflection of their classic style. We created a soft, romantic white invitation that featured delicate florals surrounding the couple’s monogram. A custom sketch of the Cherokee Dock venue on the wrap that held the invitation suite pieces together was my favorite detail. It completely elevated the suite! I just love slipping in little details and hints about the wedding day to guests.
To kick off the weekend, we also designed a welcome party invitation featuring a sketch of the General Jackson Showboat, giving guests a peek at the fun to come. From beginning to end, each paper piece was designed to build anticipation and set the tone for the weekend.
Ceremony Details
The ceremony wasn’t without its own beautiful paper moments. Guests received newspaper-style fan programs, which doubled as a ceremony timeline and a creative way to showcase an engagement photo. These charming, multi-purpose programs were a total win on a warm fall day.
Then there was the ceremony itself which took place outside by the water. Between the leaves changing colors, the sunlight hitting the water, and the beautiful couple so excited to be married, there was so much to love about this wedding,
Interactive Details Guests Will Never Forget
This wedding was full of beautiful, classic moments, but it also had some fun surprises! We loved bringing a little playfulness to the design while still keeping things elevated.
Our favorite feature of the day? A 20-foot cocktail pass-through wall, which is our largest installation to date! This statement piece displayed the seating chart alongside three signature cocktail options. Guests would ring a bell, and a white-gloved bartender on the other side would pass their drink through the wall. It was interactive, elegant, and such a highlight of the evening (a little birdie, aka the MOB, told us it was a MAJOR guest favorite!)
Day of Details
We also had the honor of creating many other day of details that fit flawlessly into their wedding day vision. Guests were greeted by a sleek, black acrylic welcome sign with white calligraphy. It looked so good surrounded by candle light reflecting off the glass. The bar signage and the black acrylic bourbon bar sign were two other reception details we had our hand in creating!
The details didn’t stop there though! Custom foam drink toppers for the espresso martinis (yes, the details even made it to the cocktails!) included their monogram with their last name and wedding date!
Guests could also grab a refreshing bottle of Fiji water that featured a custom sketch of their beloved dog, Scout, on the label. I love weaving fun and personal details into a wedding day in unique ways. The reception space was stunning with spherical chandeliers and greenery draped from the ceiling. At each table setting there were classic, black place cards in white calligraphy that corresponded with the grand seating chart.
Every single touchpoint of The Claybrooks’ wedding weekend, from the save the dates to the cocktail wall and seating chart, was designed with intention. We were thrilled to help Kelly and her family bring it to life. It’s weddings like this that remind us why we love what we do.

Some weddings are so full of thoughtful details and genuine heart, they stay with you long after it has ended. Blaise and Michael’s romantic Barnsley Resort wedding is absolutely one of those. Their March wedding at the historic Georgia venue was the perfect blend of classic elegance and unique personal touches. Barnsley Resort was the ideal setting for Blaise and Michael’s big day. Nestled in the Georgia countryside, the venue offers the best of both indoor elegance and outdoor romance. Floral arches brimming with greenery and white blooms created a storybook setting for both the ceremony and reception. The lush, vine-covered installations brought a sense of natural whimsy to the space, complementing the aesthetic and details perfectly.
We had the joy of working with Sofia Ocampo Events for the first time on this wedding. She is a talented planner based in Atlanta who we’ve become great friends with through networking events. Getting to collaborate with someone local (and so lovely!) was just the cherry on top of an already meaningful project. Then, there was the beautiful bride, Blaise, who was a dream client! As her elevated vision took shape, I grew more excited to work on each detail of this wedding. I just knew it was going to be spectacular. She fully trusted us to bring her style to life and we had so much fun designing a wide range of paper goods and day of details for this celebration!
A Soft, Elegant Palette
Blaise’s chosen colors of white and steel blue set a calming and sophisticated tone for the day. From the very beginning, we wove these hues into all the details, starting with the letter-pressed invitation suite on soft white and blue cardstock. A custom monogram graced the top of the invitation and made repeat appearances on other details throughout the wedding we created, including the programs and cocktail napkins. When couples are this intentional about design, the whole day feels effortlessly cohesive.
The couple married outside near the gorgeous gardens at the venue. After saying “I do”, guests mingled on the property enjoying cocktails. The signature cocktail bar sign was another one of my favorite details. The steel blue sign with white wording, was made complete with a fun, white tassel. Along with the custom bar signs, we also designed the monogrammed cocktail napkins.
Seating Chart Display
As guests made their way inside for the reception, they were greeted by a wallpapered seating chart display with framed cards listing the table assignments. It was a beautifully curated focal point. I also love that the pattern on the wallpaper made an appearance on several other details, including the inlay of the bars, tablecloths at the reception, and surrounding the monogram detail on the invitations and programs. Absolute perfection!
There was also an audio guestbook sign we created that was on display next to an old school telephone booth where guests could leave their messages and well wishes. This was another unique and fun detail that guests loved and really made their wedding stand out.
Unique + Custom Ribbon Place Cards
The place cards definitely need their own spotlight because they were just that good! Die-cut ribbon place cards in a light blue color, were each hand-calligraphed with guests’ names. One of my favorite moments was catching a photo of a guest snapping a picture of her place card on her phone, which made my calligrapher heart so happy! These place cards were just so fun and different from the usual, and definitely left an impression on guests!
Accompanying the custom place cards, were the die-cut menus that sat atop each napkin at the table, adding a modern spin to the timeless tablescape. These tablescapes were a total highlight, featuring simple white florals with pops of blue and abundant greenery, paired with the paper details that tied everything together.
Memorable Custom Table Numbers
One of the most charming and memorable elements was a nod to Blaise’s career as a teacher. Instead of traditional table numbers, she had her third-grade students write “advice” for the couple. Each table featured a different note from her students, and they were as hilarious as they were heartfelt. One of our favorites:
“If you have a fight you should solve it out, hug it out, talk about your point of view and let him talk about his. And ask your dog if you shall forgive him.” – Zareya W.
That is solid advice from a third grader! These custom table numbers added so much personality to the reception. It’s these thoughtful, personal touches that truly make a wedding day unforgettable. I also love that Blaise wanted to include her students in her big day. It says so much about her love and dedication to her students!
From the Invitations to the place cards and everything in between, every element was intentional and cohesive, speaking to the couples’ dreamy wedding day vision. Blaise and Michael’s wedding was one to remember and it was an honor to be a part of it!

When we first met with this bride, we knew this New Year’s Eve wedding would be anything but ordinary. From the start, she gave us complete creative freedom—a dream for any designer! While many NYE weddings stick to classic black, white, and gold, she wanted something unexpected. To bring to life this bold and chic NYE wedding, we embraced bold patterns, a maximalist style, and a color palette that felt fresh, unique, and celebratory. The end result was amazing!
Setting the Stage with a Statement Invitation Suite
The invitation suite was the first glimpse into the playful yet sophisticated vision for this wedding. First, save the dates in mint green cardstock with fireworks impressed into the paper provided that subtle nod to NYE and what was to come. For the invitation suite, we mixed patterns and colors in ways that are rarely seen in winter weddings. The envelopes were a striking combination of light green and dark green, while the invitation sleeve featured a bold blue and light pink floral pattern. A fun blue tassel completed the suite, giving it an elevated, textural element.
These design choices weren’t just beautiful on their own—they set the stage for the patterns and color combinations guests would see throughout the celebration, from the colorful wedding cakes to the lounge furniture at the reception.
Elevating the Guest Experience with Custom Details
Every wedding we work on is an opportunity to craft experiences, and this NYE celebration was no exception. The bride wanted fun, unique moments that guests would remember, and we designed details that delivered just that. One of our favorite elements was the Champagne pass-through and wall display—an elegant and interactive way to kick off the festivities. Guests loved this stylish touch, and it fit seamlessly into the chic, upscale atmosphere of the night.
The Champagne wall we designed showcased the same pattern from the invitation sleeve, tying the event’s visual theme together beautifully. A timeline display on one side and a shelf stocked with NYE swag on the other added an extra dose of fun, making sure guests were ready to ring in the new year in style with confetti poppers and 2025 glasses!
The details didn’t stop at the invitation suite and wall display. We carried the custom design elements through various pieces, including:
The Rehearsal Dinner welcome sign and menus for a stylish pre-wedding celebration at Liberty Common, just across the street.
Bar Signage at the reception that brought personality and cohesion to the cocktail hour and reception space.
Wedding Programs that guided guests through the evening while complementing the wedding’s aesthetic.
A Night to Remember
The bride and groom set the tone for a stylish night with not one but two outfits. For the ceremony, they both kept it classic with the bride in a sleek, white satin gown and the groom in a black tux. When it came time to party, the bride and her bridesmaids changed into fun, sparkly dresses that were perfect for a New Year’s Eve bash, while the groom changed into a blue suit jacket that shimmered in the lights. Their wardrobe change mirrored the entire event’s transformation—from a beautiful wedding ceremony to an all-out NYE celebration complete with confetti!
From the bold, unexpected color palette to the immersive guest experiences, every detail of this NYE wedding came together to create an unforgettable night. Designing the details for this celebration was such an incredible experience, and we loved seeing everything come to life in such a stunning and joyful way.
