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!
For good reason, wedding days are the sweet spot. They are the ultimate way to celebrate the union of two people who have committed themselves to each other. Yet, it’s easy to overlook the path that gets them there. From engagement to wedding day, the excitement of all of the timing, planning and waiting finally pays off. And what an unforgettable journey it all is!
Tori and Charles reached out to White Ink to help them along in their own wedding journey and asked that we create some really amazing details for their big day. I love when couples contact us early on in their wedding planning so that we can follow along on their engagement. It’s just so much fun to watch a wedding come to life! Our whole team was thrilled for this brilliant couple every step of the way. We loved getting to peep moments like bridal showers, bachelorette parties, even the wedding after-party! Umm, YES!
Let’s talk about where White Ink comes in. We created this super chic welcome sign that stood out perfectly in a venue like the Noelle in downtown Nashville. We also designed the wedding programs to fit the classic and modern looks of the ceremony. A bride and groom can never go wrong when choosing to use our mirrored seating charts that are as unique as the calligraphy they boast. But I think one of our favorites was getting to make these fantastically bold menus and place cards that came together using monogramed wax seals. This is such a good way to make an eye-catching statement when your guests are seated and ready to dine.
Tori and Charle’s journey brought them to one of the brightest and biggest days of their lives. Their efforts could be seen all throughout the day in the décor, in the laughter, in the custom cookies shaped like the face of their beloved puppy, Cooper. They deserved every moment of happiness that White Ink was lucky enough to witness. We LOVE who we work for, but the journey is why we do it. Cheers!
On a scale from zero to Nashville, it doesn’t get more classic than a wedding ceremony at the timeless Scarritt Bennett Center in the heart of Nashville. Lindsey and Shelby saw their wedding dreams come to life at this iconic venue, a place to perfectly represent their own delicate balance of modern and traditional. White Ink was delighted at the invitation to add our own touch of elegance to this beautiful couple’s most memorable moments.
Lindsey and Shelby knew precisely what they wanted for their invitation suite. Instead of calligraphy, our clients opted for a specific font they envisioned to present to their guests. This is always exciting for us because our stationary team has a number of beautiful font designs they love to offer couples who know exactly what they looking for. Calligraphy is our happy place, but we are prepared to design invites for our clients no matter the category they desire, including an amazing assortment of fonts to choose from. Just look at how beautifully these invites turned out!
We are living for these memorable Save the Dates! Like a bride’s gentle veil, this gorgeous font layered seamlessly atop the subtle image of Scarritt Bennett’s iconic entrance into the chapel. Does it get any more perfect?
Fun fact: This sweet couple lives on the same street as my dad and they’re also neighbors to one of our current brides! I love getting a chance to connect to clients, even in small ways. A great reminder that we live in a small world, and I love it!
After the ceremony, guests were promptly invited to dance and celebrate the night away at Nashville’s historic War Memorial Auditorium. The beauty of this wedding day perfectly intertwined with the boldness of the night. We will be thinking about this stunning couple (and that dress!) for a long, long time.
It might be February – but I’m reminiscing on this beautiful night we had amongst friends this past Thanksgiving. Ashley Shannon with Coston & Co hosted the evening and had a custom structure built for the occasion. The dinner party was potluck style, and BYOB – my favorite kind of party. If these images don’t make you feel warm and cozy, I don’t know what will.
I used handmade paper from Share Studios for the place cards, with a classic black ink. The calligraphy was done in a modern style, with the entire name being in lowercase lettering.
The florals were placed down the middle of the giant family styled table. Florals by Chelsea Carter Events.
