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. This day was filled with countless moments that will stay with us. And I love that we get to share their day with you!
For starters, Padma and Sagar’s custom invitations boasted a deep green hue making the gold print and calligraphy almost seem to 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 vision.
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- because it just never misses!
Well, this is about as stunning as it gets when styling your bar signage! Our team enjoyed creating the custom signature cocktails sign which was used with the same paper color and gold ink as Padma and Sagar’s invites and 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!
We were honored to create Padma and Sagar’s dining menus to add to this incredibly stunning reception. Again, guests enjoyed the beautiful deep green hue that was used for 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 their individual vision to life is why we’re here! And when they take each other’s hands, they can put their trust in ours. Cheers!
This picture-perfect 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 wedding details that I really think you are going to enjoy. I’ve been so excited to share these with you!
Texture. Texture. Texture. It never fails. Emily and Avnish’s guest were pulled into 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 that the RSVP card 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.
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 stands out just enough for guests to take notice- which is kind of fun!
Tile seating chart, florals arrangements, wooden back drop- are we starting to see a theme here? Yep, it’s texture. The reason why it works is because it is a feast, if you will, for the eyes. The different feel, looks, colors offer a compelling and exciting contrast that people can’t help but indulge in! Multitextured design lends itself to a particularly beautiful and often unforgettable balance- 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 kind of my favorite.
The table numbers were displayed using these super cute gold square bases. These bases can be found in our extensive White Ink collection and 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. With this couple being the first couple we hosted in our studio, they will always hold a special place in our hearts! Their trust in the work that we do here at White Ink was unmatched. Cheers to the happy couple and to their Franklin Fairytale!
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!
I am honored beyond words that I get to work alongside so many amazing vendors for weddings and other major events. It is a community that I never knew I needed. We all may have different jobs, but in the end, we are working towards one goal- giving our clients the wedding/event of their dreams! Taking part in the beautiful nuptials of our couple, Emma and John, last October gave us a front-row seat to one of the dreamiest weddings we had the pleasure of being a part of. I’ve been excited to show you all of the personalized details that made this wedding exceptional. In truth, there is a lot of hard work that goes into a wedding day, but the effects of that dedication last far longer than just a single day; we help create the details that are put into memories that last forever.
Emma and John’s save-the-date was done using card stock topped with gold calligraphy and tucked into a warm, dusty rose envelope giving it a most delicate and inviting feel. I like to imagine the smiles people give when opening up these happy color combos.
This invitation suite steals the show. For me, this is about as good as it gets. The invitation was done in letterpress on handmade paper (yes, handmade paper). I especially love how Emma and John went from a dusty rose save-the-date envelope to dusty blue invitation suite envelopes. The envelopes were closed with a gold, custom, monogrammed wax seal. (Icing on the cake!)
Emma and John personalized their invitation suite to include a liner that had a print which was actually hand-painted by John’s mother. The same print was also used on the suite’s vellum overlay. THIS is what I mean when I say we help create memories that last forever. How special is this gorgeous detail?
John’s mother, Penny, is an artist who took on the role of creating this piece for her son and daughter-in-law as a way to include those who were with them in spirit. She used very special and specific details in this image to represent those loved ones. We were honored to pen the letter that went along with the beautiful picture display.
The chalkboard directional signs fit perfectly within the woodsy scenery of this Cheekwood venue. They stand out just enough to guide guests to their seats.
Here is a refreshing new detail that we don’t see very often. The couple wanted to have special seating for the ceremony portion of the wedding. We did that by taking the printed programs and writing the names of each guest so they knew where to find their seat. This was a beautiful example of how much thought went into each moment of Emma and John’s big day.
You can never go wrong with a classically beautiful, mirrored seating chart. Although this is a very popular seating chart display, there was something especially whimsical about seeing the textural differences of the glass mirror against the beautiful trees in the garden.
White Ink is always happy to put our touch on table signage like we did for Emma and John’s bar sign. But what we loved most was getting to make the super awesome cocktail napkins that displayed several of the couple’s favorite sayings. Taking it to the next level and making it your own, is what’s it’s all about. I hope you enjoy these!
Another table-top sign was for the deliciously showstopping oyster and shrimp bar! Yum!
Every single wedding White Ink gets to be a part of is always so special to us. We loved the deeply personal touches that Emma and John made room for on their big day. A gem of a wedding, indeed! Cheers to the happy couple! Check out some of the amazing vendors who took part in this event.
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!
I want to say, whenever our couples take the time to include different textures in their wedding details it is ALWAYS worth the effort. Any creative knows that layered textures are sure to elevate an event. I’m excited to show you what White Ink created for Mae and Casey on their big day!
For starters, the home our couple chose as their venue was the most eye-pleasing, awe-inspiring place. There was no shortage of ivy laced brick, beautiful archways, iron gates or spiral staircases; I could go on and on. Fun fact: this home was also filmed in the show, “Nashville”, for all of you fans out there.
White Ink was thrilled when Mae and Casey asked us to put our own touch on this one-of-a-kind wedding. One of the best things about being a part of it all was getting to show the true beauty behind layering textures. Notice how the custom designed menu was displayed: heavy wooden table, gold rimmed glass charger, soft linen, rounded edged menu with spot calligraphy, and an olive branch all tied together with a single piece of twine. Whew! Now that is how you impress your guests using texture! This display at Mae and Casey’s reception embodied the perfect mixture of bold and gentle to make the dreamiest styled tablescape we have seen in a long time.
Check out this seating chart! Have you ever seen glass so perfectly placed? I mean this looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale! These gorgeous, gold-trimmed standing mirrors rested softly against iron gates and sat on a cushy bed of moss that was growing atop the stone floors and walls. (I mean, I love that I even get to say that sentence.) Again, layered texture for the win! I love seeing White Ink’s work used like this. It’s just so satisfying.
I was excited that Mae and Casey chose one of our card boxes from our extensive rental collection. This particular card box is gold trimmed and went flawlessly together with all of the gold accented décor throughout the ceremony and reception. The table numbers we provided for them were complete with gold flake corners and lettering, as well as the beautiful cocktail signage all done in gold ink calligraphy.
We love watching our couples piece their wedding day together and we love even more that we get to be such a big part of that. And when it comes to using lots of texture, don’t be afraid of it. It might be exactly what you’re looking for!
