A Wedding Polished and Modern | Brittany + Thomas | 10.23.21

Ya’ll, we love a traditional Nashville style wedding, but there is something so satisfying about watching a wedding with a more modern form come together. Brittany and Thomas did not let us down. Everything they chose, from the invitation suites to place cards, was dripping in the perfect mixture of elegance and boldness. It made my calligrapher heart so happy that the White Ink team had the opportunity to work with this fantastic couple and help make their wedding dream become a reality. 

For starters, Brittany and Thomas chose Saint Elle in downtown Nashville as their wedding venue. It’s impossible to go wrong with that location! The furniture, the clean lines, the open spaces, and the abundance of greenery will certainly compliment your modern wedding goals. I love that we got create some really sleek custom calligraphy that flowed with the top-notch décor.

White Ink kept it coming while we put our mark on the super chic welcome sign, seating chart, bar signage, and place cards. I don’t know, but putting white custom calligraphy on top of black just kept blowing my mind. And I want more! We definitely had a lot of favorites at this wedding but getting to customize the envelopes that read, “To my Bride/Groom on our wedding day,” warmed our hearts! Seeing their reaction to such a sweet and delicate moment on the biggest day of their lives really made me appreciate that White Ink had a little part in that. 

Don’t forget, White Ink can ENGRAVE custom calligraphy on many different surfaces. You have to take a look at Brittany and Thomas’ stunning cake-knife and server set! You don’t have to be a bride or groom to inquire about something like these. This would be a fantastic gift for anyone to give to a special couple on their big day. 

Anytime I think about designing for this wedding it puts a smile on my face. We cannot wait for the next opportunity to design with a modern style in mind because, just like those confetti streamers at our couples exit, this wedding POPPED!

Like the pop of a champagne cork, White Ink has burst into yet another wedding season. And we are ready for it! This is, hands down, our favorite time to really showcase what we love to do for our couples. Samantha and Graham were easily the sweetest bride and groom we’ve had the pleasure to work with. In fact, I took particular pride in getting to be a part of their big day because Samantha was a wedding planner once upon a time. She is a creative herself, so trusting White Ink with the finer details of her wedding was a great honor. 

Today, Samantha and Graham are both teachers. They exude a perfect balance of love, humor, and comfort. That balance shone through during the entire process of creating the wedding details that were just right for them. We swoon for the blushing hues of these invitations! These colors poured beautifully into their wedding. 

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of gifting an engraved bottle to our grooms? A gift as bold as the sting of its contents but as delicate as the glass that holds it. 

The event signage for the ceremony met the guests with subtle displays of rosy ombre tints. We love the gentleness that the signage added to the already gorgeous ambiance of chandeliers and cobble stone in Long Hollow Gardens’ Greenhouse venue. 

Naturally, these dreamy colors jumped into the reception with these fun acrylic tabletop signs for Samantha and Graham’s seating chart, drink bar, and decadent chocolate bar! Now it’s a party!

After our couple and their guests danced the night away, everyone was free to take home a little piece of the evening with these adorable koozies! And to the happy couple, we couldn’t have said it better, “Cheers Ya’ll!”
