Rain, Rain Don’t Go Away! | Mark & Paul | 10.2.21

Rain, Rain Don’t Go Away! | Mark & Paul | 10.2.21

It is said that rain on a wedding day is good luck! The idea is that when tying a “knot,” a wet one is much stronger than a dry one and so, a rainy wedding day signifies a marriage that is sure to be long-lasting. What a comforting way to enjoy all the tiny droplets of strength that sometimes pour into a couple’s big day. For our clients, Mark and Paul, just as the ceremony began, a little “luck” started falling their way. 

White Ink was asked to create the wedding welcome sign which looked gorgeous over the mirrored glass. A piece like this really helps pull together the inviting feeling of a ceremony that our clients hope for. Welcome signs have an unassuming way of saying “we’re glad you’re here, now enjoy!” And we always have fun with these. 

Mark and Paul’s request to White Ink also included the seating chart display. Look at how perfectly the seating chart calligraphy atop the vintage windows captured the ambiance of the rustic, industrial style at the barn reception area. (A chef’s kiss!)

Nothing elevates the bold colors and florals of a tablescape like these crisp, elegant menus. The pure look of these menus that we created for Mark and Paul obeyed the handsome style and décor of each table setting. Menu designs can lift expectations for any event, especially wedding receptions. Wouldn’t you agree?

Standing hand in hand beneath a rose-laced arbor that boldly kissed the tree line of Green Door Gourmet, Mark and Paul made their vows. Tear drops and rain drops delicately fell at an equal pace. And this amazing couple happily shared the beginning of the rest of their lives surrounded by friends and family. White Ink was honored just to be a part of it all. Thank you, Mark and Paul. Here’s to many years of happiness and a little luck along the way!

Lucy & Gary | Union Station Hotel | Details are Everything | 1.18.20

The details that Lucy and Gary included in their BIG DAY were game changers. I’m sitting here looking through their photo gallery, and there are just SO MANY amazing photos. First, Lucy’s dress. I can’t. Second, Gary and his mom had an epic dance (so it appears, just looking through the photos)! The couple was married at the classic Union Station Hotel in downtown Nashville. Their ceremony and reception were both held in the hotel lobby, which is a stunner. So anyway, I’m here to share the details. It’s the bridesmaids’ duties to share their super cute images of their black floor length bridesmaid gowns; and family to share the sweet images of the flower girls. For me, I’m sharing the details that my future brides want to see!

This invitation suite was created using my spot calligraphy. Every line was hand lettered by ME, and then digitally reprinted. Spot calligraphy is always close to my heart – it ensures that the calligraphy on your invitation and envelopes MATCH; as well as the rest of the calligraphy used throughout! The emerald green envelope brings a modern touch to a very classic suite. Interested in Vintage Postage? The Little Postage House is my favorite source!

The wedding was planned by Erin Lynn Events, a wedding planner who lives in Nashville, but plans all over the country. I had the opportunity to drop by the setup for this event and see Erin in action!

FLORALS. Can we just take these florals in? Like let’s sit here and process them. Because they were stunners. Florals were done by Mary Love with Rosemary & Finch . Her work on the fireplace, come on. Also, Mary made sure that we popped some greenery on the welcome sign (something that is often overlooked when planning)!

John Myers Photography is the team behind the lens in these photos. I had the opportunity to pop in and say hi to Lucy when she was taking her portraits. This was actually my first time meeting John in person (AND Lucy for that matter!), we’ve been Instagram besties for awhile now.

Guests were welcomed at the entry of the lobby with a mirrored welcome sign. After the ceremony, guests grabbed their escort cards, which were done in gold calligraphy on ivory tented card stock. And the tables were dressed with my table number rentals.

The spot calligraphy used on the invitation suite was carried over to the wedding program.

A huge thank you to Lucy for being a part of the #whiteinkjacket movement! Not sure what this is all about. Be sure to CLICK HERE to read all about it. This project is so close to my heart! And Gary, stop being so precious 🙂

Lucy and Gary’s big day was the dreamiest. Classic and elegant with Nashville style. It’s always a pleasure to be a part of such a lovely event. xo – Claire
