The September sky gave way to one of the most gorgeous and memorable weddings we’ve put our touch on. And it couldn’t have happened to a sweeter couple. Getting to watch these nuptials unfold at the Boston Public Library was the cherry on top! Georgi and Jason put together an amazing wedding and as thrilled as we were to be a part of it all, we hated to see the day come to an end. Couples like this, with weddings like this one, are something we keep close to our hearts.

The detail that I just can’t get over- Georgi’s veil alone was enough to stop us in our tracks. Draped gently behind her long dark hair, this stunning piece was having a moment!

Styled flat lay of formal wedding invitation suite

Georgi and Jason’s invitation suite boasted a seamless balance of delicate and bold features. Full calligraphy done in rose gold ink complimented the black envelopes beautifully. The invitation suite was letter-pressed with spot calligraphy on stock paper and elevated with a beautiful black, vellum overlay which included a custom sketch of the Boston Public Library! Vintage postage and a custom rose gold wax seal completed this impeccable design.

White Ink was honored to add to the breathtaking staircase entrance of this unforgettable venue. The sharp black wedding welcome sign topped with white lettering, stood out against an impressive array of florals and lit candles which demanded the attention of each guest as they passed by.

Just as Georgi and Jason’s invitation suite and wedding welcome sign harnessed a delicate boldness, so did the table numbers which sat perfectly into the formal tablescape for their reception. There are times when table signage takes an unassuming role among the tablescape, but then there are moments when table signs play an important part in grabbing the guest’s attention. These sharp lines and block signage with gold numbers set against the soft florals and candles and white linen offered a uniquely formal taste and modern/chic appearance to the 170-year-old venue. A detail which was beautifully and purposefully done.

We love our Nashville couples, that’s no secret. But getting to meet our couples where they are is something we cherish and are always honored to do. Finding ourselves at the Boston Public Library in the presence of Georgi and Jason along with their closest family and friends was an incredible moment for us at White Ink. I am so moved to have been a part of this incredible journey with the perfect couple. To Georgi and Jason, thanks for the memories that will last forever. Cheers!

Planting the Seed | Morgan + Tommy | 6.24.23

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 wedding unforgettable for all in attendance. I love getting to show you all events where there is no shortage of details that aim to inspire. Enjoy!

Invitation suite of envelope, invite, vellum wrap, rsvp and details cards.

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! The letterpress work on the card stock paper was beautifully done by our friends at Clover Calligraphy Co. who 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 point 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!

The wedding welcome sign was done in a frosted acrylic. It really 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.

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.

Alright you guys, 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. One of the sweetest seating charts I’ve been honored to take part in.

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!

frosted acrylic table number, placecards, and escort cards. Styled with florals and lavender.

The table signage, place cards, and escort cards were not left out of this lavender inspired theme. Look at how well all of the finer details fit together! I’m obsessed. Notice more of the tuber rose print throughout.

Reception Menus in lavender topped with wax seals.

I loved getting to create these summer-perfect, lavender-inspired 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 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!

Details for a Day, Memories Forever | Emma + John | 10.8.22

Details for a Day, Memories Forever | Emma + John | 10.8.22

I am honored beyond words that I get to work alongside so many amazing vendors for weddings and other major events. It is a community that I never knew I needed. We all may have different jobs, but in the end, we are working towards one goal- giving our clients the wedding/event of their dreams! Taking part in the beautiful nuptials of our couple, Emma and John, last October gave us a front-row seat to one of the dreamiest weddings we had the pleasure of being a part of. I’ve been excited to show you all of the personalized details that made this wedding exceptional. In truth, there is a lot of hard work that goes into a wedding day, but the effects of that dedication last far longer than just a single day; we help create the details that are put into memories that last forever.

Emma and John’s save-the-date was done using card stock topped with gold calligraphy and tucked into a warm, dusty rose envelope giving it a most delicate and inviting feel. I like to imagine the smiles people give when opening up these happy color combos.

This invitation suite steals the show. For me, this is about as good as it gets. The invitation was done in letterpress on handmade paper (yes, handmade paper). I especially love how Emma and John went from a dusty rose save-the-date envelope to dusty blue invitation suite envelopes. The envelopes were closed with a gold, custom, monogrammed wax seal. (Icing on the cake!)

Emma and John personalized their invitation suite to include a liner that had a print which was actually hand-painted by John’s mother. The same print was also used on the suite’s vellum overlay. THIS is what I mean when I say we help create memories that last forever. How special is this gorgeous detail?

John’s mother, Penny, is an artist who took on the role of creating this piece for her son and daughter-in-law as a way to include those who were with them in spirit. She used very special and specific details in this image to represent those loved ones. We were honored to pen the letter that went along with the beautiful picture display.

The chalkboard directional signs fit perfectly within the woodsy scenery of this Cheekwood venue. They stand out just enough to guide guests to their seats.

Here is a refreshing new detail that we don’t see very often. The couple wanted to have special seating for the ceremony portion of the wedding. We did that by taking the printed programs and writing the names of each guest so they knew where to find their seat. This was a beautiful example of how much thought went into each moment of Emma and John’s big day.

You can never go wrong with a classically beautiful, mirrored seating chart. Although this is a very popular seating chart display, there was something especially whimsical about seeing the textural differences of the glass mirror against the beautiful trees in the garden.

White Ink is always happy to put our touch on table signage like we did for Emma and John’s bar sign. But what we loved most was getting to make the super awesome cocktail napkins that displayed several of the couple’s favorite sayings. Taking it to the next level and making it your own, is what’s it’s all about. I hope you enjoy these!

Another table-top sign was for the deliciously showstopping oyster and shrimp bar! Yum!

Every single wedding White Ink gets to be a part of is always so special to us. We loved the deeply personal touches that Emma and John made room for on their big day. A gem of a wedding, indeed! Cheers to the happy couple! Check out some of the amazing vendors who took part in this event.

“I Carry Your Heart With Me” | Andrei + Sean | 9.24.22

“I Carry Your Heart With Me” | Andrei + Sean | 9.24.22

Take a look at White Ink’s journey to Rhode Island as our creativity made its way up the coast! Everything about Andrei and Sean’s wedding was top notch and we are in LOVE with how well the details turned out for this spectacular event.

As far as invitation suites go, there was no stone unturned. Andrei and Sean selected the most beautiful gold ink pressed into white cardstock. The suite was wrapped together by a stunning vellum jacket complete with a gold, custom monogramed wax seal. On the vellum jacket you will notice a print of the historic Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island which would be the location of our couple’s reception. Fun Fact: Rosecliff Mansion was featured in the 1974 film, The Great Gatsby.

If you want your invitation suites to embody elegance, we cannot recommend envelope calligraphy enough! The gold calligraphy on these white envelopes shines like the treasure they are.

How stunning is this engraved, custom monogramed ring box?!

White Ink also designed the wedding programs for Andrei and Sean. The ceremony took place at the gorgeous St. Barnabas Catholic Church located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

I have been SO excited to show you guys what we did for Andrei and Sean’s seating chart for their reception! I know we have shown you some unique seating chart pieces, but this one is definitely one I will always remember.

Each guest was gifted a book of poems where they could find their names followed by their table number written in custom gold calligraphy down the spine of their individual book. (I mean… I have no words). Inside the books, White Ink designed custom bookmarks that marked the page where Andrei and Sean’s favorite love poem was written. You could also enjoy excerpts of the famous E.E. Cummings poem, I Carry Your Heart with Me, written on the wall of the shelves. Honestly, it’s enough to turn you into a puddle!

Andrei and Sean asked White Ink to help create the menus for the reception which carried the same delicate combination of gold and white just as their wedding invitation suites did. I say it every time, connecting even the smallest details together can really be the thing that separates your wedding apart.

Ellegant or not, you know White Ink is going to show up at the bar! We love the look of this bar menu inside the distressed gold frame.

The perfect little place cards we did for Andrei and Sean blended effortlessly into the stunning tablescapes.

I especially love when White Ink gets to leave a mark in destinations beyond Nashville. It’s always a beautiful journey and a fantastic opportunity to represent our little corner of the wedding world. Couples like Andrei and Sean remind us of why we love what we do. This couple put so much effort and thought into every single part of their wedding day. We were honored to connect with them in such a memorable way. You could say, we will carry them in our hearts. Cheers!

Colorado Dreams, Mountaintop Nuptials | Madeline + Dustin | 9-19-21 

Colorado Dreams, Mountaintop Nuptials | Madeline + Dustin | 9-19-21 

Go for it! Go for the wedding of your dreams. Say yes to the soul stirring details you’ve longed for. Whatever your mountain is, go for the top! Madeline and Dustin showed us how to take a wedding to new heights with their Colorado dream wedding at Granby Ranch in Granby, Colorado.  

Madeline and Dustin are both creatives in their own right as Dustin has established himself as a film director in the music and entertainment industry, and Madeline as a creator of Nashville’s go-to source for neon event signage! At White Ink, we hold a very special place for fellow creatives and make it our goal to help bring their vision to life. This amazing couple made it really fun for us to create some custom details that perfectly complimented the views of their mountaintop wedding.  

Just as easily as the mountains kiss the clouds, the romantic and western styles of our bride and groom joined seamlessly together throughout the entire day. We NEED you to take a moment to look at how incredible these invitation suites turned out!  Madeline and Dustin customized their invites to include oversized wax seals, spot calligraphy, envelope calligraphy, and envelope liners with artwork as breathtaking as the views from their special day. Even the vellum gatefold invited each guest to take a ‘peak’ into this dreamy event (pun absolutely intended).  

We are honored that Madeline and Dustin brought us on this amazing journey with them. From the wind blowing through the tall grass to the laughter echoing through the valleys, these images are stamped on our hearts.  And White Ink can’t wait to be with you on YOUR mountain, whatever that looks like. We are ready to create and customize the wedding of your dreams!
