Being given the opportunity to truly tap into my creative side makes me feel as free as the bubbles floating to the top of a champagne flute. The White Ink team was invited to take part in some seriously showstopping details for the wedding of our amazing couple, Molly and Killian.
Aside from making their vows at the former home of Reba McEntire, our couple wowed their guests with custom wedding details and designs that would be the topic of conversation for a long time to come.
Let’s jump right in to the seating chart wall, shall we? I mean LOOK at this gorgeous wall! If you want to make an impression, seating charts are a great place to start. White Ink designed the custom, laser-cut calligraphy title “Sip and Be Seated” for this showstopper of a seating chart.
Next, we created the escort cards to slip over the champagne flutes that lined the entire wall. (I love that I get to say that sentence). I appreciate the duality of using this wall as a way to seat your guests and get the cocktail hour started. Very clever!
White Ink customized Molly and Killian’s mirrored wedding welcome sign which was beautifully paired with florals that spilled over the edges. I honestly love when couples use their florals with signage like this. It’s always such a fantastic balance of softness and elegance.
Molly and Killian chose to use our table numbers that were designed with gold ink and completed with gold foil edges. These table numbers are some of my favorites from the White Ink collection!
Want to know what’s kind of the cutest thing ever? Bathroom selfie lettering! Imagine taking a moment for a quick wardrobe check and being greeted with the message, “Hey gorgeous, get back on the dance floor” written on the bathroom mirror. You wouldn’t have to tell me twice! Wedding receptions need this energy.
White Ink completed this dreamboat of a wedding by creating custom cocktail lettering! These are so, so fun to make. I absolutely love getting to do orders like this, partly because I know how much people are going to enjoy it. I promise you if this is ever something you choose to add to your cocktail hour, your guests will be impressed!
Cheers to the happy couple! And thank you for all the timeless wedding inspo!
It makes my calligrapher heart so happy to see White Ink’s work go beyond the Nashville scene. We love to reach out as far as we can, leaving our mark on the events and weddings that our clients have worked so hard to pull together. This time we found ourselves in the dreamiest corner of Kentucky, with the sweetest couple we could’ve hoped for. I’ve been so excited to share these moments from Adair and Andrew’s charming Kentucky wedding with you!
Want to know the best way to boost the décor of your wedding? Mirrors! Mirrors take on a very delicate and unassuming role in the world of décor. They can flawlessly and beautifully fill any space in nearly any event. White Ink has an amazing collection of mirrors for our brides and grooms to use and customize for their weddings. When it comes to making good use of the versatility that our mirror collection provides, Adair and Andrew understood the assignment.
Check out how adorable our round ornamented mirror looks beside the card box. I love that they chose signage to help highlight what the guests would find at this table. I feel like this sweet little mirror and card box were made for each other! So, so perfect.
As if walking underneath a canopy of holly trees to find their seat wasn’t breathtaking enough, guests were swept away with the tender lyrics of one the most well-known love songs ever. We customized this gorgeous mirror to read, “Take my hand, Take my whole life too.” I mean, it’s enough to turn anyone into a complete puddle, right? Our bride and groom also used a custom mirror at their cake and dessert table with the lyrics, “How sweet it is to be loved by you.” I cannot think of a better way to add romance to your wedding décor. Additionally, Adair and Andrew chose one of our favorite mirrors that we custom made to use as their welcome sign, and I love the uniqueness of the frame for this sign. The outdoors of Kentucky worked as the perfect setting for it.
Our couples can never go wrong when choosing these beautiful, tall, standing mirrors to customize their seating chart. There’s something about their beautiful thin gold frames that makes the wording just pop! But I think my new favorite thing is really starting to be the photo guestbook signage. It’s kind of the cutest idea ever and our couples can walk away with instant lasting memories. (It’s the cute little camera on this mirror for me!)
Ok guys, from the castle, to the gardens, to the string quartet and everything in between (including some tasty McDonald’s fries), this wedding was seriously straight out of a fairytale. Our White Ink team was so thrilled with how our details turned out for Adair and Andrew. To say the least, we are proud to be a part of this Kentucky dream!
Amanda and Adam’s wedding was the first on our schedule for the 2021 season, and it was honestly the best start to the kind of wedding season we were hoping for! Winter weddings offer an inviting change of style and energy to the wedding scene, which makes it really special to us. Amanda and Adam trusted White Ink to dive into our creativity and give them some amazing wedding details that we know you’re going to love!
Let’s start with the custom invitation wedding suite. These invites were fully-calligraphed which is not only gorgeous, but also has the amazing ability to effortlessly demand the attention of its reader. In short, this suite is powerful and bold, quite like a winter wedding. The beautiful gold ink work was done using thermography: a process where heat is used to infuse a powdered resin with ink to naturally raise the lettering and give way to a flawless textured look. Always a treat getting to do this for my couples!
Moving on to more wedding keepsakes, I was excited to show you Amanda and Adam’s precious vow envelopes. We LOVE envelope calligraphy, especially when we know it’s going to be something that will be treasured for a lifetime! If you are planning to write your own vows, elevate this beautiful memory with custom calligraphy. You absolutely will not regret taking time to do this for yourselves.
White Ink’s touch could be seen throughout the ceremony and reception. I loved getting to use our gorgeous, ornamented mirror for Amanda and Adam’s wedding welcome sign. One of the best things about using the mirrors from our collection is getting to reuse and customize each of them to fit the style of the bride and groom. The same goes for our card boxes (these are honestly my favorite little things ever!).
The mirrored seating chart we made was surrounded by oversized candles and draped in a gorgeous arrangement of florals. It’s always nice to see these seating charts presented in such a beautiful way. Hand lettering mirrors is something White Ink has been doing since the very beginning. It’s a detail that always delivers and has stood the test of time for so many events. Pro tip: A hand lettered seating chart also allows your guests to get a glimpse of themselves for a much-appreciated wardrobe check.
From the stunning Clemintine Hall venue in the heart of Nashville to the four-tiered cake, Amanda and Adam’s winter wedding was certainly one to remember. It was a dream! White Ink was lucky to have such an unforgettable start to another fantastic wedding season.
We are serving pretty, pretty envelopes with this one for you guys. I’ve been excited to show off this wedding invitation suite that White Ink created for our gorgeous couple, Alyson and Ben. Spot calligraphy, rosy hues, crisp white ink, all tied perfectly together with rose-pictured envelope liners; it’s a stationary dream, honestly. Also, who isn’t obsessed with envelope calligraphy?
My team and I have several favorites when it comes to Alyson and Ben’s Graystone Quarry wedding. This sweet couple had some fun and thoughtful ideas that made the details of their big day unique and memorable. For example, instead of using a phrase like “Please Find Your Seat” for their seating chart, they wanted it to say, “Our Favorite People” with the guest list following underneath. Changing small things like this makes such a huge difference in how a couple makes their guests feel. When you make your guests feel special, that’s something they won’t easily forget. And we LOVE being a part of that!
I think one of the most clever details in this distinctively guest-centered wedding was the oversized standing mirror that said, “Hello gorgeous. You look incredible. Now go grab a drink. XO Alyson + Ben.” It invites guests to do a quick wardrobe check, relax, and go celebrate! I’m sure this was a much-appreciated fixture during the celebrations of the day.
This couple seemed to be really good at choosing details that fit right in. They were a breath of fresh air for all of the creatives involved in their wedding day. And what a view! Alyson and Ben, you were an absolute delight to work with. If you made your guests feel as amazing as you made us feel, there is no doubt they’re still remembering and still smiling; all because of you. Cheers!
White Ink is no stranger to our neighbors to the north. Kentucky has our heart for many reasons, and we happily add the nuptials of Kathryn and Will to that list. Their wedding took place on Kathryn’s family property, and this wasn’t White Ink’s first appearance at the charming Kentucky home. Only a few years before, Kathryn’s sister also married at this home and asked us to put our creative touch on her wedding. You can imagine our excitement when we got the call to come back! If you’ve ever seen a Kentucky sunset, you might understand exactly why we jumped at a second chance to showcase our work in the bluegrass state.
Every wedding is one of a kind. Like a fingerprint, every couple is unique and expresses themselves in their own unique ways on their big day. Still, some things are worth holding on to and some ideas are worth borrowing. We were delighted that Kathryn and Will wanted to use the same wood boards that Kathryn’s sister used to display their seating chart. Kathryn had them sanded down and restained for her wedding. This isn’t just any seating chart display; these wooden boards stand at a massive eight feet tall! But we didn’t want to just reuse this display, we wanted to add some serious flare to these babies. Hello gold foil flakes! Yeah, about that sunset we mentioned- take a look at how it turned these seating charts into pure magic.
Kathryn and Will allowed us to put together some other really fun details for their wedding celebration. Usually when people think about calligraphy, they think of invites or signage; but calligraphers can do SO much more! Check out the cups and koozies our team put together for this fabulous couple. We not only like stepping outside of the usual requests, but we look forward to it. I personally love that Kathryn and Will included their sweet pups in the details!
There’s something about Kentucky; maybe it’s the sunset, perhaps it’s the landscape. But I’m thinking it has something to do with the people, people like Kathryn and Will. We were invited to celebrate with this awesome family for a second time, and that’s a very special thing to us. Cheers!
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.
