There is something really special about getting to be a part of an entire wedding process all the way from the invitation suites down to the monogrammed wax seals on the menu cards. It means so much to us at White Ink when our brides and grooms trust us to help bring their big day to life! It’s why we’re here, and it’s why we’re never leaving. I hope you enjoy the beautiful recap of Elizabeth and James’s wedding day as much as we enjoyed being a part of it.
We made our way to the stunning Cordelle in downtown Nashville to help bring together the finer details of Elizabeth and James unforgettable wedding day. The energy from this couple was genuine and light. They were such a delight to work with the entire way.
We’ll start with the invitation suite. Each detail was carefully selected. Spot Calligraphy, vintage postage, hand-made paper with custom monogram (my personal favorite), envelope calligraphy, all wrapped in a delicate black velvet ribbon and tucked into the always classy dusty-blue hue envelopes. I am on cloud nine every time I look at these beauties. Simply stunning! Fun fact: dusty blue has been one of our most popular colors this year by far.
“Welcome to our Wedding,” simply put and warmly welcoming, the welcome sign we did for Elizabeth and James was elegant and perfectly placed inside this timeless, ornamented frame. Fun tip: mirrors will work with absolutely ANY event style- I promise.
White Ink created the chic program for our couple’s nuptials. You can see the same black velvet ribbon that bound the gorgeous invitation suites was also used around Elizabeth and James’s ceremony programs. Raise your hand if you love details that can carry over!
Another beautifully mirrored sign in a thick, distressed, gold ornamented frame that we used for the couple’s seating chart. “Our Favorite People” is quickly becoming one of my favorite titles for seating charts. So warm and inviting!
White Ink menus are always top-notch menus. The best part about working with Elizabeth and James is how they really wanted to tie together so many delicate details. They chose to use the same hand-made paper for their menus that was also used to create their invitation suites. A solid decision for a bold and timeless wedding. The wax seal used to combine the place cards and menus boasts a custom monogram as well. Fun tip: Elevate your place cards with custom spot calligraphy.
We also supplied Elizabeth and James with our super sleek table numbers that fit effortlessly into the dreamy tablescape.
If you don’t think disco balls and custom monograms belong together, I’m here to tell you- Oh yes, they do! The monogram we used with the handmade invite paper was carried over to the dance floor, illuminated by a chandelier of disco balls. I can’t stop looking. This is just the best thing ever and really gives you a peek into the fun energetic style of our beautiful couple.
I am so happy we finally got a chance to bring you into one of the most fun nights we’ve had in a long time. Elizabeth and James allowed us to show off our creativity and interlace this entire journey with distinctive details and style. They made my job easy, and I love my job! Cheers!
Take a look at White Ink’s journey to Rhode Island as our creativity made its way up the coast! Everything about Andrei and Sean’s wedding was top notch and we are in LOVE with how well the details turned out for this spectacular event.
As far as invitation suites go, there was no stone unturned. Andrei and Sean selected the most beautiful gold ink pressed into white cardstock. The suite was wrapped together by a stunning vellum jacket complete with a gold, custom monogramed wax seal. On the vellum jacket you will notice a print of the historic Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island which would be the location of our couple’s reception. Fun Fact: Rosecliff Mansion was featured in the 1974 film, The Great Gatsby.
If you want your invitation suites to embody elegance, we cannot recommend envelope calligraphy enough! The gold calligraphy on these white envelopes shines like the treasure they are.
How stunning is this engraved, custom monogramed ring box?!
White Ink also designed the wedding programs for Andrei and Sean. The ceremony took place at the gorgeous St. Barnabas Catholic Church located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
I have been SO excited to show you guys what we did for Andrei and Sean’s seating chart for their reception! I know we have shown you some unique seating chart pieces, but this one is definitely one I will always remember.
Each guest was gifted a book of poems where they could find their names followed by their table number written in custom gold calligraphy down the spine of their individual book. (I mean… I have no words). Inside the books, White Ink designed custom bookmarks that marked the page where Andrei and Sean’s favorite love poem was written. You could also enjoy excerpts of the famous E.E. Cummings poem, I Carry Your Heart with Me, written on the wall of the shelves. Honestly, it’s enough to turn you into a puddle!
Andrei and Sean asked White Ink to help create the menus for the reception which carried the same delicate combination of gold and white just as their wedding invitation suites did. I say it every time, connecting even the smallest details together can really be the thing that separates your wedding apart.
Ellegant or not, you know White Ink is going to show up at the bar! We love the look of this bar menu inside the distressed gold frame.
The perfect little place cards we did for Andrei and Sean blended effortlessly into the stunning tablescapes.
I especially love when White Ink gets to leave a mark in destinations beyond Nashville. It’s always a beautiful journey and a fantastic opportunity to represent our little corner of the wedding world. Couples like Andrei and Sean remind us of why we love what we do. This couple put so much effort and thought into every single part of their wedding day. We were honored to connect with them in such a memorable way. You could say, we will carry them in our hearts. Cheers!
This June I had the honor of hosting the sweetest baby shower for my sister, Townley! Guys, I CANNOT wait to be an aunt. This feels so surreal, and I am drinking up every moment. So many of our clients have had the joy of working with Townley throughout the years as she is a machine behind the scenes at White Ink Calligraphy! She is the heart and soul of our stationary department. Townley continuously dedicates her time assisting our clients with graphic designing and printing services. Whether our couples want a custom wedding invitation suite or one-of-a-kind cocktail napkins, Townley makes it happen! So, now it’s time to celebrate Townley as she glides effortlessly into the beauty of a new role- mother. Enjoy this little peek inside what was an incredibly happy day for us all.
LOVE the invites that we sent out for Townley’s shower. It’s no surprise to anyone that I have always been huge fan of florals on invitations. The flowers bordering the event details are so beautiful and create the most delicate frame. We also really loved using this muted green for the envelopes.
The welcome sign was a true joy to create! The pressed florals between the glass resembles the florals from the invites and the lettering takes on the same muted green from the invitation envelopes. I love when small details connect like this!
For the mamas out there who experienced pregnancy, did you ever have any food cravings? Townley definitely did….she craved mocktails! That has been her number one food craving throughout her pregnancy. So, naturally, we set up a mocktail bar so she could mocktail to her heart’s content. I especially loved the little onesie, paci, and bottle stirrers!
Friends and family surrounded Townley and showed so much support. We were so excited to celebrate baby Goldberg!
It was so fun having everyone fill out these personal message cards for baby Goldberg. There was so much love shared through these sweet notes! – I hope that you love – I hope you always- I hope you never forget – I hope you learn – I hope you get your mama’s – I hope you get your dad’s – I hope you become –
I am so lucky to have a local urban farm right in my neighborhood! Joy House Blooms supplied us with the most GORGEOUS selection of flowers which we used to create a “floral bar”. Guests were encouraged to make their own arrangements that they could take back home with them using this amazing selection of flowers!
The place cards used to identify the flowers looked so good here! The colors, the place cards, the flowers, the mason jars- it’s all just perfection!
Our dogs definitely tried to steal the spotlight during the gift opening. They’re the cutest little attention stealers though aren’t they?
This will be a day I will always cherish. My sister is like my right hand. White Ink wouldn’t be what it is today without her diligence and dedication. But making me an aunt is the best gift by far! I can’t wait to meet baby Goldberg.
There is no shortage of awe-inspiring, crowd-pleasing, showstopping wedding venues in Nashville. But sometimes, home is exactly where you want to be and simply nothing else will do. Because, as we all know, there’s no place like home. Last fall, Caroline and Landon invited their guests to the family farm where they created an incredibly memorable wedding day and White Ink had the pleasure of elevating this beautiful day with some uniquely exciting details.
White Ink made an elegantly simple envelope using spot calligraphy in gold which the couple paired with their invites. I love this look because it is crisp and clean and the perfect example of “less is more”. Timeless and always appropriate.
The vast family farm offered the most breathtaking views and open spaces. Caroline and Landon thoughtfully provided a directional sign for their guests so that they could easily get around the farm. White Ink put together this rustic, chic sign. I especially love the look of the acrylic with the wooden case. The custom white calligraphy was the cherry on top!
We took the same style as the directional sign to create both the wedding welcome sign and the seating chart. It effortlessly tied these important details together. The only major difference was the POP of florals beautifully peeking through the acrylic welcome sign and seating chart. Mixing florals and calligraphy will forever be my favorite!
“Our Favorite People,” is the cutest way to title a seating chart. It’s an instant smile-maker!
We loved getting to add the sweet bride and groom place cards for the head table. Yes, this is a detail that is subtle, but it holds a lot of meaning- this is Caroline and Landon’s first meal as husband and wife! Our couples are always glad they chose not to overlook the small, customizable details. They’re more important than you might think!
One of my favorite things White Ink did for Caroline and Landon’s reception was create a cocktail napkin where we incorporated the profile of Caroline’s beloved horse! Where are my horse lovers at? Is this not the most adorable way to include your favorite animal in the festivities? These cocktail napkins definitely fit into the scene of the evening.
Home weddings are on the rise. And White Ink is here for it! We are honored each time we are invited into someone’s space, to a place they call their own- a place called home. In some way, the memories are a little bit sweeter. Maybe it’s because home is where the heart is. Congratulations Caroline and Landon!
I like to think Nashville and Chattanooga are secret BFFs. They each have big city vibes, southern hospitality, Tennessee charm, and are never too far away! Hannah and Alan allowed White Ink to help elevate their Chattanooga nuptials and we were thrilled to jump on board. They were an amazing couple to work with, from creating stunning reception details all the way down to transporting all the items from Nashville. What an honor it was to be a part of such a gorgeous wedding in such a lovely town.
Hannah and Alan chose The Common House for their wedding venue which had only opened its doors in Chattanooga a few months prior to the couple’s wedding date, making their wedding one of the first ones to take place at this location.
The most stunning part of this wedding, hands-down, was the endless display of floral arrangements! Flowers gushed through each carefully planned setting of Hannah and Alan’s big day, leaving us speechless.
The White Ink team was blown away when we saw how our couple displayed the seating chart that we customized for them. Can you blame us though? The floral backdrop that went along with this chart set it apart in a way that I’ve never seen before. Now THIS is how you display an acrylic seating chart! Showstopper vibes!
We provided Hannah and Alan with the table numbers for their reception, and we loved what they chose. The gold accents on each sign complimented the impressive tablescapes of florals and fine linen. Seeing how our work comes through for our couples on their wedding day is so very rewarding!
White Ink was also asked to create the menus along with the place cards which were perfectly pieced together with gold-colored wax seals. (Wax seals are kind of my favorite thing ever, just sayin’.) Details like these are an easy way to add a layer of elegance to any occasion.
This one was a magical one, guys. Flowers for days, lighting that could make the stars jealous, endless rose colors and gold accents: this is what we live for! We want to make designs and create details that go right along with the dreams that our couples have for their weddings. What can we create for your big day? What does your dream wedding look like?
Backyard weddings lend themselves to a bride and groom’s creative freedoms. It’s the perfect opportunity to truly customize a wedding in whatever ways you want especially in style, design, florals, dancing, food and more. Not to mention, these venues are yours to book whenever you want! During the pandemic, couples began to turn to backyard weddings as the perfect answer for their venue needs. They present an equal level of beauty and exclusivity that many other outdoor locations offer- only here, you’re home!
Bri and Frank’s big day was the ultimate example of what backyard wedding dreams are made of! They didn’t have to compromise their own style, in fact, this setting enhanced it. Modern and romantic elements blended perfectly together and were enjoyed by all. And White Ink is honored that Bri and Frank asked us to be a part of this charming day. One of THE best parts was getting to make the place cards. These aren’t your typical place cards, ya’ll. These were made from the most stunning, colored tile we have ever seen! Just look at how the calligraphy seems to “float” on top of each tile. If you want to put a smile on your guest’s face, put their name in calligraphy and watch them just light up. It’s a very personal and magical touch! Added bonus: tile place cards won’t fly away at your outdoor events!
The White Ink team was happy to help elevate Bri and Frank’s wedding by creating their gorgeous seating chart. The abstract hand painting against the acrylic was the perfect canvas for the flowy, white calligraphy boasting the names of each guest. Seating charts make the best statement pieces, in our opinion. We also love how our couple’s welcome sign turned out! It displayed the perfect collection of modern tones: thin lines, multi-textured structure, gowned in greenery and florals. It was very satisfying to watch it all come together so perfectly.
Backyard weddings are making a comeback, and White Ink is more than ready! We’re excited to see what our new couples want us to create for their dream wedding, especially in the spaces they call home. Congrats to Bri and Frank! You make us love what we do.
