This picture-perfect fairytale 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 multi-textured wedding details that I am so excited to share!
Bold + Textured Invitation Suite
Texture, Texture, Texture. It never fails. Emily and Avnish’s guest received 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 the RSVP card that 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.
Modern Mirror Welcome Sign
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 stood out just enough for guests to take notice!
Multi-Textured Wedding Details
Tile seating chart, florals arrangements, wooden backdrop – are we starting to see a theme here? Yep, it’s texture. Using texture works so well because it is a feast for the eyes. The different feel, looks, and colors offer a compelling and exciting contrast that people can’t help but indulge in! Multi-textured design like this lends itself to a particularly beautiful and often unforgettable balance that is 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 my favorite.
The table numbers were displayed using these super cute gold square bases, that are a part of our extensive collection. These versatile pieces 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. This couple will always hold a special place in our hearts as the first couple we hosted in our studio! Their trust in the work that we do here at White Ink was unmatched. Cheers to the happy couple and to their Franklin Fairytale!

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.”

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!

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!
