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. Witnessing their Boston Public Library wedding day unfold 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, and weddings like this one, are something we keep close to our hearts.

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

Boston Public Library Wedding Details

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. A beautiful black, vellum overlay elevated the suite and included a custom sketch of the Boston Public Library! This was so much fun to create and one of my favorite details. 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.

Elegant and Chic Reception Details

Just as Georgi and Jason’s invitation suite and wedding welcome sign harnessed a delicate boldness, so did the table numbers which sat perfectly within the elevated 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. However, the opportunity to meet our couples where they are is something we cherish. 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. It was such an honor 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!

A Franklin Fairytale Wedding | Multi-Textured Wedding Details | Emily + Avnish

Torso view of bride and groom walking together in the sun while holding hands.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Written in Stone | A Wedding of Style and Texture | Hannah + Zach

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!

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.

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!

A Symphony of Love | Elevated Nashville Symphony Wedding | Kayla + Caleb

Kayla and Caleb’s elevated Nashville Symphony wedding was an absolute dream! This picturesque event of classic and timeless details was something you just couldn’t take your eyes off of. From the gothic style architecture of Scarritt Bennett’s Wightman Chapel to the grandeur of Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, there wasn’t a stone left unturned as Kayla and Caleb carefully placed together one of the best Nashville weddings White Ink has seen. Contributing these stunning details and being a part of such a memorable wedding was an absolute honor. Hopefully you can take away some serious wedding inspo from this gorgeous day!

We designed our couple’s wedding invitation suite to embody the elegance of their big day. A custom monogram delicately stood out on the beautiful card stock. I loved adding the extra touch of using a custom, monogram, gold, wax seal for the envelopes. These are small details that pack a big impression!

What sets White Ink apart from big box paper retailers is our personalized, hands-on approach. Taking out the guesswork is part of what we do best. From knowing exactly what to include in your programs to advising on quantity, size, and where to “splurge”, we guide you every step of the way. We even help incorporate meaningful elements from your invitation suite to tie everything together. With years of experience and a deep understanding of event-day details, we ensure you get exactly what you need!

Elevated Nashville Symphony Wedding Reception

It’s hard to top the simple elegance a mirrored seating chart. I have always loved how the white lettering on the glass instantly elevates the beauty of this double-rib framed mirror. Kayla and Caleb styled this gorgeous seating chart with florals (always a good idea!) and surrounded it with glass vases holding floating candles. I can’t think of a better way to be invited to take my seat at a table in the opulent Schermerhorn. Divine!

The most elegant part to these custom designed reception menus is that each menu had the guests’ names calligraphed directly on to them. This is why I love what I do! I love when my couples give me the chance to really elevate the finer details of their reception. And yes, guests DO notice little things just like this and often appreciate the level of attention.

Custom Bar Signs and Cocktail Napkins

Kayla and Caleb went with one of my favorite bar signs from our rental collection. We customized the drink menu to fit with the style of all other day-of paper goods as well as the invitation suite. Also, please take a moment to gush over the print of their sweet pup, Cash, on the cocktail napkins! Cocktail napkins are the perfect moment to bring in something special or personal to your big day. And it’s a detail that will be cherished forever.

I think one of the most appreciated details of the evening were these adorable koozies that we customized for Kayla and Caleb! They once again took time to personalize an item that guests were able to use and enjoy. It was the perfect little koozie for guests to use with their drinks while they let loose on the Schermerhorn dance floor! I couldn’t love this more.

For the White Ink team, this was a night to remember. Nights like this make us proud to do what we do. We love making our couples happy! Kayla and Caleb were an amazing couple to work with. They knew exactly what they wanted and trusted us to pull their vision together. And we are honored to do just that. Cheers to the happy couple!

Taylor Farms Retirement Celebration! | 6.3.23

Taylor Farms Retirement Celebration! | 6.3.23

There is a saying, “Retirement is when you stop living at work and start working at living.” And what better way to begin a new chapter in your life than to celebrate? I cherish every opportunity we get at White Ink to help elevate what are often major events in our clients’ lives, but there is something particularly special about getting the chance to be a part of a retirement celebration. Taylor Farms gave a beautiful farewell to two employees who were more like family. We were so lucky to celebrate with Bryan and Dan, and many of their closest family, friends, and coworkers. Take a look at some of these fun details we created for them.

Retirement celebration chalkboard signage

The signage we did for this is some of my favorite. I really love getting to use our chalkboard welcome sign. It has a particular boldness about it that has a way of grabbing your attention while fitting perfectly into many styles of decor. It was perfect for this event!

Ok, so I want to take a quick moment to recognize one of the best in the business, Dana Carroll McCollum with Dana Carroll Co Weddings & Events! She is an amazing planner, and we absolutely LOVE each and every time we get to work with her. We usually find each other working together on weddings, so it was really fun getting to change things up while working an event like the Taylor Farms Retirement Celebration. One of the coolest parts of my job is fostering relationships among other creatives within the wedding and event world. The planning community is a very special place and people like Dana are a big reason why.

Custom laser cut drink stirs on napkins

Going back to the details, I am thrilled with how well these adorable cocktail napkins turned out! The gold lettering over the black stands out so well. Details like custom cocktail napkins are a fun way to make an event feel personal and extra special. And we NEED to talk about these drink stirs! Laser cuts are now something we do in-house, and I am really excited about it because the possibilities are endless. The custom-designed, laser-cut drink stirs we did for Bryan and Dan was a stand-out piece at the party. Even the smallest details can have a lasting effect on how your guests remember your event.

Bryan and Dan elevated their party favors to their guests with the custom tags we made for each gift. Again, this is a subtle way to show your guests that you’re glad they are there to celebrate with you. It points to a great deal of thoughtfulness when you choose small yet powerful details like these.

To Dan and Bryan, we at White Ink wish you the best on what is hopefully the happiest new beginning of your lives! We are so grateful to have been a part of such a special Taylor Farms send-off. Here’s to celebrating retirement and working at living! Cheers!
