We are back at the enchanting Southall Farm and Inn as we take part in elevating the gorgeous wedding of White Ink couple, Brittanie and Tristen. This wedding touches all the senses, as textures and colors burst throughout the Franklin, TN venue.For this elegant, black tie wedding, we created several fun and unique textured details. From fabric signs to stone table numbers, we loved putting all our creative energy to use to make their vision come alive.
Elegant Wedding Invitation Suite
Brittanie and Tristen’s invitation complete with letterpress on hand-torn stock card created an incredibly elegant feel and look for their big day. Wedding invites have the power to truly set the tone for the entire event. I love when our couples understand how important it is to not skip the delicate details that give their guests the very first impression of what’s to come.
Note the pressed image of the Southall venue gently placed over the invite. It’s a small yet mighty detail that makes this invite one-of-a-kind.
Another detail that we must highlight in this suite is the beautiful envelope liner. In my opinion, envelope liners are simply a must, especially when finding ways to customize your wedding invitation suite. I like to think of it as the lining of a fancy jacket; it’s a place to pull in color and even have some fun and make it yours!
“I’m in heaven for your wedding, so what shall I do? I’ll come back to earth to spend it with you. So save me a seat, just a comfy chair, you may not see me, but I will be there.” This touching poem was placed on a fabric banner along with the names of those from Brittanie and Tristen’s life who have passed on. It was an honor for us at White Ink to be involved in such a sentimental part of the ceremony and create this loving gesture for our couple.
Custom Fabric Bar Sign
For cocktail hour, Brittanie and Tristen chose to utilize fabric for the custom bar sign. I like getting the chance to showcase our work as we step off the paper and onto other textures! The look of the fabric bar sign, on the thick wooden bar decorated with soft florals is perfectly inviting as guests make the transition from ceremony to reception. Also, I can guarantee guests will not forget a sign like this!
The title of this custom escort wall says it all: “Love in Full Bloom”. Brittanie and Tristen’s seating chart was so much fun to help create. As if the cascading florals all around aren’t enough to brighten this display, we kept it coming with custom escort cards attached to individual flowers. I like to think of them as small tokens to carry on the mood and energy of this fantastic day.
Textured Reception Details
The delicious menu selection was printed on a beautiful stock card and placed underneath a delicate place card with baby blue ribbons. I think it’s important to point out the spectacular usage of texture from Brittanie and Tristen’s reception. Guests soaked in the beauty of soft linens, traditional and modern glassware, abundant florals, and warm candlelight. THIS is how you create the mood and keep the guests engaged in every sense. I could have stayed here forever.
I have been so excited to showcase these table numbers! Talk about texture! These custom stone table numbers from our extensive rental collection are a favorite of ours at White Ink. We were thrilled to provide these at the reception for Brittanie and Tristen. They created the perfect balance of the texture-filled tablescapes and were undoubtedly a main conversation piece. Reception decor is a wonderful time to show your style and personality just as Brittanie and Tristen did. The Roman numerals were an excellent touch.
Here’s to Brittanie and Tristen. For trusting White Ink with the finer details of this fine day. The love, the people, the creativity is something that will stay with us for many years to come. Cheers!

Sometimes, a client’s dream wedding turns into our dream wedding! The moment our sweet couple, Sam and Landon, asked White Ink to take part in elevating their Country Music Hall of Fame wedding details, I realized that this wedding was going to be incredibly memorable for our team. And indeed, it was! We had the honor of helping to showcase Sam and Landon’s style with purpose and authenticity by creating their custom Nashville wedding details.
For starters, our couple’s wedding suite embraced a style that was bold and uniquely “Nashville.” I love the sharpness of the invite, complete with a heavy stock, wedding paper and letter pressed font.
Take a moment to soak in the amazing work of the talented Katie Kime! She provided the custom artwork on the envelope liners which depict iconic Nashville favorites like Jonny and June, The Loveless Cafe, The Country Music Hall of Fame, and even the “Batman Building.” Details like this truly set the tone for your wedding guests and create a memorable experience. I just love this details!
Sam and Landon’s save-the-date boasted the same polished look as the invitation suite including the letter pressed font and print of the Country Music Hall of Fame. (Side note: I can never get enough of how beautiful the vintage postage is!)
Wedding Welcome Sign and Program Details
This wedding welcome sign spoke volumes and was a complete showstopper. From the texture to the font to the overall framing of the display, this piece was impressive to say the least.
Simplicity goes a long way with these program details. A gentle font and color against a soft white paper was perfectly inviting for Sam and Landon’s guests. I love getting a peep of little details that are laced throughout the day like the cute little wedding bells on this custom water bottle. The same wedding bell print that we used for the wedding details card in the invitation suite.
Elegant Seating Chart Display
I am so happy to show off what my team created for Sam and Landon’s seating chart! Putting this seating chart wall together on site was an accomplishment. One that I adore! The sleek oval escort cards with hanging tassels were just so beautiful to see. This display wowed the guests and was yet another reflection of Sam and Landon’s elegant style.
Custom Laser-Cut Signature Cocktail Signs
For cocktail hour, we rolled up our sleeves to do one of our favorite things: custom laser-cuts! We designed several table signs to add to the uniqueness of our couple’s unforgettable day. I love how this turned out and how well it fit into the style of the entire event.
However, it’s the custom cocktail stirrers for me! These little guys were so fun to make. The “H” initial stands out so perfectly along with the date. This is a great example of a small detail that packs a huge punch. It’s things like this that your guests never forget!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how adorable Sam and Landon’s pup looks printed on these custom cocktail napkins? Cocktail hour is a great opportunity to pull in really special details of our lives- like pets! I could look at this face all day!
A Penny For Your Thoughts
Guests took the time to share their best advice on marriage and give well wishes as Sam and Landon created a space for “A penny for your thoughts.” This was a fun and clever way to include each guest as well as receive some welcomed advice from their closest friends and family! We were happy to be included by creating yet another one-of-a-kind laser-cut custom table sign.
The custom signage was carried throughout the reception. Doing this can truly elevate the theme and help carry the tone of a room. The arched table numbers worked perfectly with the delicate tablescapes, and their texture offered a wonderful balance to the vibrant florals all around. Such an incredibly impressive look!
Sidenote: I still think about this floral chandelier more often than I care to admit. I mean, wow! This was such a stunning wedding in so many ways and this chandelier was a showstopper!
Custom Nashville Wedding Details
White Ink designed Sam and Landon’s reception menus that fit perfectly on top of the custom laser-cut settings we created as well! The gold wax seal to top the menu pulled this entire place setting together with the added bonus of the matching table numbers and table signage throughout. When it comes to lacing details throughout an event, THIS is how it’s done.
Peep the cute wedding bell prints making another appearance! This time, at the end of the night when guests were offered a yummy snack of burgers and fries. From invitation suite to burger box, this wedding bell print fit right in!
Wedding Welcome Party Details
I don’t want to wrap up without showing you guys a couple of the day-before details that White Ink did for Sam and Landon’s Wedding Welcome Party. Wedding parties and wedding rehearsal dinners are the perfect time to have fun with details and create a more intimate tone.
Sam and Landon wanted us to create table numbers for the welcome party that included pictures of them being the same age as the number on the sign. As you can see above, here are Sam and Landon at ages 7 and 8. Is this not the sweetest thing ever? It meant a lot to be able to provide these special table numbers for them!
We also created a few more day-before details for Sam and Landon’s wedding welcome party. It was an honor to create items like their seating chart and the most adorable little matchboxes for the guests to take along with them. Putting in the extra effort in these more intimate settings really shows those closest to you, that they are appreciated and that you were thinking of them, which is really special!
To the happy couple, we hope you enjoy lots of love and adventure, and continue soaking in all the finer details around you! Cheers to you both!

There is an old proverb that says, “A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.” Within the pages of a book one can find beauty, power, and adventure that is universally understood. This is something that book lovers far and wide keep close to their hearts. For our wedding couple, Christy and Oliver, nothing was more fitting than being surrounded by an array of literature on their big day. It was an absolute honor to create stunning and meaningful details for our bride and groom for their Nashville Public Library wedding, helping them turn the page as they stepped into a new chapter of their lives!
Library-Inspired Wedding Details
For starters, their invitation suite was . . . everything! The clean and crisp design packed a punch as it flawlessly incorporated details like a custom sketch of the Nashville Public Library. They even included a tassled bookmark keepsake for guests.
Going with the bookish theme, White Ink designed Christy and Oliver’s reception menus to look like vintage library book check-out cards! Is this not THE most perfect thing for a wedding at a library?! I love when our couples invite us to have fun in creating these parts of their wedding details. This is one that our team will always remember!
Custom Seating Chart + Keepsake Escort Cards
The Seating Chart we helped create for our bride and groom completely wowed the guests. The escort cards doubled as keepsake bookmarks, because you can never have too many! This event cleverly included details like this throughout the day from start to finish. These are things that guests ALWAYS notice and remember for a long time.
I can’t get enough of this black and white checkered flooring and how well it makes this green seating chart pop!
Nashville Public Library Wedding Reception
When your reception is in the middle of a gorgeous library, a simple touch of elegance is enough to seriously elevate the look and decor of the room. Classic black, calligraphy table numbers nestled on top of the bright white table linen was the chef’s kiss to this tablescape. Dreamy, classy, smart.
Custom place cards sat at the head of each place setting for Christy and Oliver’s reception. When it comes to impressing your guests and making them feel like they were a big part of your event planning, place cards truly take the cake! It is a very personal and intentional detail that has a big impact on the person sitting in front of it. I love it when a couple appreciates details like these. Peep those adorable check-out card menus!
Christy and Oliver were an absolute delight to work with! We are forever grateful for the opportunity to help elevate some of the most meaningful details of the day. Just like the guests, I know I will be talking about this wedding for a long time to come. For the White Ink team, this wedding was one… for the books.

A bride and groom’s time to shine isn’t narrowed down to just one day. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments happen in the days surrounding a wedding day. One of the biggest roles of a rehearsal dinner is to allow the bride and group an opportunity to properly welcome family and the wedding party. Cason and Eddie set the bar for what a rehearsal dinner should look like and feel like! White Ink was honored to take part in delivering this rehearsal dinner to remember!
Rehearsal Dinner Invite + Paper Goods
White Ink knows how to deliver the goods…. paper goods! Cason and Eddie’s June nuptials offered the perfect chance for them to use the beauty of summer floral prints. The rehearsal invite liner featured a beautiful floral print also found on the custom table number signs at the reception.
I always love to see that gorgeous dusty blue hue. Our couple incorporated this color throughout the entire evening, and I simply couldn’t get enough of it.
Notice the “C.E.” monogram sporting more gorgeous blue summer floral prints on both the custom Rehearsal Dinner menu and invite.
The Night Before Welcome Sign
Cason and Eddie chose the ever-stunning Noelle in Nashville to welcome their close friends and family to their wedding celebrations. We collaborated with Hill Event Rentals to put together this amazing welcome sign that was tucked perfectly against a draped entryway. The florals that lined the bottom of the sign was the cherry on top that made this welcome sign the delicate focal point that it was. Teamwork!
“Your Seat Awaits”
“Your Seat Awaits,” topped the escort card display. Hill Event Rentals once again showcased some of their best work with building this display to match the Welcome Sign display. White Ink did what we do best and added the laser-cut text along with individually calligraphed place cards, complete with a custom monogram wax seal.
Remember, event signage doesn’t have to be cold or bossy. Direct your guests in a warm and beautiful way! Feel free to make it unique and even playful! We love helping our clients with these ideas.
The table numbers fit perfectly into the stunning formal tablescapes in the Noelle’s Sadiee Gallery Grand Ballroom. They simple belonged in this room!
The place cards elevated the show-stopping tablescape and fit effortlessly alongside the goldware at each place setting. This is a perfect example of how one seemingly small detail can really pack a big decor punch!
Custom Event Menus
We designed a classic, custom menu for Cason and Eddie. Carrying details like color and prints throughout the whole of an event sends a message of intention and thoughtfulness and can show guests that their enjoyment is a really big part of the planning process!
Cason and Eddie made sure that their family and wedding party received a proper welcome. It meant so much to be a part of this rehearsal dinner to remember! We cannot wait to share more details about their wedding day too! For now, we will hold onto memories that were made “The Night Before.”

Every moment of planning with this sweet couple was a true joy for all of us at White Ink. Morgan and Tommy chose an incredible balance of boldness and gentleness throughout their wedding details making this dreamy garden-inspired summer wedding unforgettable for all in attendance. Truly, it was stunning-a dream day from start to finish.
Dreamy Lavender Invitation Suite
Morgan and Tommy’s invitation suites delicately showcased a beautiful lavender color and theme, a detail that was laced throughout the entire ceremony and reception! Our friends at Clover Calligraphy Co. did the beautiful letterpress work on the card stock paper, which comes at no surprise as they always do impressive work! A soft lavender hue was chosen for the envelopes in addition to the vellum envelope liners with a dainty tuber rose print. I also want to draw attention to the pressed flowers in the custom wax seals! Is this not the dreamiest invitation suite?
If you look closely at the details card from our bride and groom’s invitation suite, you can see that this textured card is actually seed paper! The cards were infused with wildflower seeds so that wherever guests planted their cards, wildflowers would grow! Talk about a memorable detail!
Frosted Acrylic Welcome Sign
The elegant frosted acrylic wedding welcome sign brought me back to the invitation suite details, as guests could see the same custom monogram from the invite, as well as the beautiful tuber rose print on the vellum envelope liner. Connecting details throughout an event, especially a wedding, can easily elevate your special day.
Thoughtful Summer Wedding Details
A very thoughtful detail that Morgan and Tommy added to their June wedding was letting us create these adorable fan programs which, of course, included the stunning lavender color theme and floral prints that blanketed the details of their wedding. This is a perfect example of making parts of your ceremony details functional for your guests while maintaining a delicate theme.
Garden Party Inspired Seating Chart
Alright, now it’s time to talk about this stunning, garden-party inspired seating chart! Guests could find their escort cards in these adorable little wooden garden boxes that were appropriately filled with gorgeous florals and greenery. This is one of the sweetest seating charts I’ve ever taken part in. It was a true showstopper!
Custom Laser-Engraved Bar Sign
Among all of the delicate designs of the day, Morgan and Tommy still maintained a wonderful balance of boldness, like this one-of-a-kind bourbon bar. We got to create this awesome, laser-engraved, wooden bourbon bar sign, which matched incredibly well with the rustic look they wanted for this setting. I’m really proud of how great this sign turned out. It made for a great conversation piece among guests too!
White Ink also created the custom cocktail sign using the same frosted acrylic as the wedding welcome sign. YES to matching signage!
The table signage, place cards, and escort cards were not left out of this lavender garden-inspired theme. Look at how well all of the finer details fit together! Also, notice more of the tuber rose print throughout. I’m obsessed.
Summer Lavender-Inspired Menus
I loved getting to create these summer-perfect, lavender menus for Morgan and Tommy’s reception. Does the wax seal look familiar? It’s the same custom wax seal with pressed flowers that sealed the guests’ invitation suites! These looked so amazing among the beautiful tablescapes.
I am so proud of the work we were able to accomplish for Morgan and Tommy! This dreamy garden-inspired summer wedding was one for the books and certainly one I will remember for years to come. When it comes to summer wedding inspiration, I guess you could say, this couple has planted the seed! Cheers!

For those that may not know, I serve on the board of directors as the Director of Community Service for the Nashville chapter of the Wedding International Professionals Association also known as, WIPA. WIPA first began in 2008 in South Carolina. Their goal was to create an association that could genuinely represent this unique community of professionals and offer opportunities to connect with each other, effectively setting the standard for wedding vendors and professionals. Today, WIPA is a global community and I’m so proud of what our Nashville chapter has been able to accomplish!
This past May, WIPA Nashville hosted an amazing event for WIPA members to come and celebrate each other, learn more about boosting our businesses, and make lasting connections throughout the wedding industry. I want to show you a peek inside this fun-filled event at the new Four Seasons Hotel Nashville that left us all eager to sign up for next gathering!
Of course, you know White Ink had to show up to the party! We supplied the event with paper goods and signage that included my laser debut! I sharpened my laser cutting skills with this super chic and fun wooden bar sign design.
After enjoying cocktails with a view (can’t go wrong with a rooftop pool and that Nashville skyline), folks were invited to find their tables with these adorable escort cards we personalized for each guest. An eye-catching hedge wall made these guys stand out so well. Love it!
I had so much fun with the menu design. Yes, more laser cutting! I especially loved getting to match the menu design with the bar sign. So proud of how these turned out!
White Ink provided the table numbers and place cards. The decor and tablescapes for this event look absolutely stunning in the Four Seasons grand ballroom!
There were so many connections made throughout the evening. Many people took time to speak and tell their stories and open up about business in Nashville’s booming wedding industry. Guest speaker, Jullianne Smith with The Garter Girl gave a wonderful presentation on how to effectively use Pinterest to boost your business! People coming together in this capacity is what WIPA is all about.
This event wasn’t just about connection. As the Director of Community Service, I had the honor of selecting a non-profit partnership that would benefit from our WIPA Nashville evening. We were able to raise over $1,000.00 for Shower the People, a nonprofit organization that offers shower and laundry services for people in Nashville experiencing homelessness. We were happy to not only raise money for this invaluable organization, but also raise awareness to this growing need in our local communities.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed support! I am proud to be a part of such a warm and inviting group of professionals that are really more like family. Staying connected is how we stick together. Until next time!
