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.”

Once again, we found ourselves back at the iconic Country Music Hall of Fame, this time to honor and celebrate this seriously gorgeous White Ink couple, Hannah and Zach. Style and texture effortlessly danced together at this stunning wedding reception. I’m beyond thrilled to share another White Ink gem with you guys!
Column Seating Chart
For starters, Hill Event Rentals really outdid themselves when it came to constructing this one-of-a-kind seating chart where White Ink printed names of each guest. (I’m here for a solid collab!) If a couple wants to find a spot in their reception where they can have fun and step outside of traditional style, seating charts are the perfect place to start.
These columns not only add dimension but also command attention. Guests were unsurprisingly wowed by this stunning seating chart. I love that the couple styled the bold display with soft candlelight and delicate white florals, setting the tone for an elegant evening.
When I say these seating chart column displays commanded attention, they did just that. I am all for going big for your wedding! Dream big and go for it!
Stone Table Numbers
Often times, couples prefer a table number style from our rental collection, which will fit unassumingly into their tablescape design. Table numbers usually play a very important, but quiet part in a table setting. However, sometimes, you just want to stand out! No one did this better than Hannah and Zach. They chose to use an organic stoned table number for each of their tables to guide guests to their seats. Talk about a conversation piece! Such a unique and fun piece!
A Wedding Reception of Style and Texture
Note how the difference in the textures in this tablescape design provides a bold and delicate balance to the aesthetic of the room. The soft white florals, linen, and organic stoned table numbers all work together like a dream.
Fabric Bar Menu Sign
Texture was having a MOMENT at this unforgettable reception, ya’ll. I love showing up for my clients and assisting with unique styles and items . I especially love a chance to remind people that yes, we do calligraphy, but it is SO much more that! We are in the business of turning your vision into a reality-whatever that looks like. I am simply in love with this hanging fabric bar sign that we did.
Using fabric in this way can take a simple bar aesthetic and elevate it instantly. Modern and sophisticated is the message here, and I just cannot get enough.
The stone signage carried over into one of the most thoughtful guest book tables we have seen. The wording on the stones read “Please Sign Our Bible” and “Pick a Verse, Leave a Note, Sign Your Name.” I thought this is a particularly touching way for couples of faiths to keep it close to their hearts. I imagine those sweet notes are filled with positivity and light.
Here’s to the uniqueness of each of our couples. Here’s to the memories we get to make alongside them. And here’s to every little letter we create that helps bring their vision to life. Each one is written on our hearts. You could say, it’s written in stone. Cheers!

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!

Nashville is widely celebrated as the birthplace of country music. When you’re here, you don’t have to go very far before you start to hear sounds of strumming and people bearing their hearts and souls through the words and the meanings of this thing they call country. If this is your jam, we are excited to bring you downtown with us to see how White Ink couple, Lindsey and Carson, created their downtown Nashville dream wedding surrounded by the iconic collections that live inside of Nashville’s very own Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Check out how we played a part in creating details that helped tie this beautiful Nashville wedding together.
It’s easy to tell when a couple takes time and care in selecting the finer details of their wedding. Lindsey and Carson are an exceptional team and were so fun to work with because they took care in choosing what they wanted for their big day.
Downtown Nashville Dream Wedding
This arched wedding welcome sign is definitely one of my favorites from our collection. I love the all-white look; it fits into nearly any style and makes the perfect canvas for displaying florals or really any other designing element that you would want to tie together throughout the day.
The beautiful floral designs that Lindsey and Carson chose were laced throughout the ceremony and reception, including the wedding welcome sign.
Reception Details
It’s fun when we get to focus our attention on the reception too! I can’t begin to tell you guys how cool it is to be a part of so many amazing seating chart designs and ideas.
This seating chart just makes me smile – I don’t know how else to put it. I mean, the muted, soft gray with florals cascading all around. I really love how delicate the white ink looks against this color and how the greenery pops from behind the acrylic of the seating signage. Perfectly magical.
Our couple chose our white arched table number signs in black ink. Not only did these little beauties match the shape and color of the arched wedding welcome sign, but they also blended perfectly into the stunning tablescapes!
Custom Menu + Place Cards
White Ink also designed Lindsey and Carson’s custom menus for the reception that were perfectly tucked into the napkins at the formal place settings. We also created the most adorable little oval place cards with tassels that went alongside the custom menus. I love when details are both adorable and functional!
The word “Dinner” peeks out from the napkin leaving this custom menu sleek and inviting.
“Grab a Drink but your place is on the Dance Floor,” is the kind of guidance I need to encourage me to let my hair down and hit the dance floor. I love added humor into signage like this, very fun and highly appropriate.
Let’s be honest, late night snacks are the real MVPs of wedding receptions and we all know it! I’m so happy we were able to make a sign for these little lifesavers.
When it comes to Nashville, you may be here for the country, or you may be here for a good time. Lindsey and Carson made sure to have both and that’s what keeps us always coming back for more. To this amazing couple, may there be more just like you with nights just like this. Cheers, ya’ll!

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!
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!
