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!
White Ink is no stranger to our neighbors to the north. Kentucky has our heart for many reasons, and we happily add the nuptials of Kathryn and Will to that list. Their wedding took place on Kathryn’s family property, and this wasn’t White Ink’s first appearance at the charming Kentucky home. Only a few years before, Kathryn’s sister also married at this home and asked us to put our creative touch on her wedding. You can imagine our excitement when we got the call to come back! If you’ve ever seen a Kentucky sunset, you might understand exactly why we jumped at a second chance to showcase our work in the bluegrass state.
Every wedding is one of a kind. Like a fingerprint, every couple is unique and expresses themselves in their own unique ways on their big day. Still, some things are worth holding on to and some ideas are worth borrowing. We were delighted that Kathryn and Will wanted to use the same wood boards that Kathryn’s sister used to display their seating chart. Kathryn had them sanded down and restained for her wedding. This isn’t just any seating chart display; these wooden boards stand at a massive eight feet tall! But we didn’t want to just reuse this display, we wanted to add some serious flare to these babies. Hello gold foil flakes! Yeah, about that sunset we mentioned- take a look at how it turned these seating charts into pure magic.
Kathryn and Will allowed us to put together some other really fun details for their wedding celebration. Usually when people think about calligraphy, they think of invites or signage; but calligraphers can do SO much more! Check out the cups and koozies our team put together for this fabulous couple. We not only like stepping outside of the usual requests, but we look forward to it. I personally love that Kathryn and Will included their sweet pups in the details!
There’s something about Kentucky; maybe it’s the sunset, perhaps it’s the landscape. But I’m thinking it has something to do with the people, people like Kathryn and Will. We were invited to celebrate with this awesome family for a second time, and that’s a very special thing to us. Cheers!
Backyard weddings lend themselves to a bride and groom’s creative freedoms. It’s the perfect opportunity to truly customize a wedding in whatever ways you want especially in style, design, florals, dancing, food and more. Not to mention, these venues are yours to book whenever you want! During the pandemic, couples began to turn to backyard weddings as the perfect answer for their venue needs. They present an equal level of beauty and exclusivity that many other outdoor locations offer- only here, you’re home!
Bri and Frank’s big day was the ultimate example of what backyard wedding dreams are made of! They didn’t have to compromise their own style, in fact, this setting enhanced it. Modern and romantic elements blended perfectly together and were enjoyed by all. And White Ink is honored that Bri and Frank asked us to be a part of this charming day. One of THE best parts was getting to make the place cards. These aren’t your typical place cards, ya’ll. These were made from the most stunning, colored tile we have ever seen! Just look at how the calligraphy seems to “float” on top of each tile. If you want to put a smile on your guest’s face, put their name in calligraphy and watch them just light up. It’s a very personal and magical touch! Added bonus: tile place cards won’t fly away at your outdoor events!
The White Ink team was happy to help elevate Bri and Frank’s wedding by creating their gorgeous seating chart. The abstract hand painting against the acrylic was the perfect canvas for the flowy, white calligraphy boasting the names of each guest. Seating charts make the best statement pieces, in our opinion. We also love how our couple’s welcome sign turned out! It displayed the perfect collection of modern tones: thin lines, multi-textured structure, gowned in greenery and florals. It was very satisfying to watch it all come together so perfectly.
Backyard weddings are making a comeback, and White Ink is more than ready! We’re excited to see what our new couples want us to create for their dream wedding, especially in the spaces they call home. Congrats to Bri and Frank! You make us love what we do.
There are some weddings that have a magical way of rooting themselves into your memory. Maggie and Barret’s winter wonder wedding is certainly one that is impossible to forget. This couple aimed for a dreamy, wintery celebration at the gorgeous Long Hollow Gardens in Gallatin, TN, where even mother nature bestowed a gift on the festivities. What could be better than snowfall during a winter wedding? Perfection!
White Ink was invited to take part in putting together some gorgeous and timeless details of this picture-perfect fairy tale starting with Maggie and Barret’s invitations. The shade of green used on their envelopes compliments the bold impressions that winter brings along. It’s a perfect mix of classic and gentle. Custom envelope calligraphy makes this suite even sweeter.
The welcome sign from White Ink insists on being seen! It is seriously one of our favorite pieces to include in the décor of weddings like this one. Nothing compares to ornamented gold, truly.
The cocktail hour drink favorites are displayed on these stunning little gold framed mirrors. We always have a lot of fun with these! They fit seamlessly into any event.
Mirrors, mirrors, and more mirrors! At White Ink, we LOVE mirrors, want to know why? Not only are they timeless details that can elevate any scene, but they are reusable! We can use them over and over, helping us in reducing waste. Mirrors are a must-have item that any bride and groom can feel good about using. We are over-the-moon for the hanging mirrors used to display the reception’s seating chart. The way the greenery interlaces throughout this display is almost too much to handle.
Why stop there? Nestled into the gentle, rustic tablescapes is one of our favorite pieces, gold mirrored acrylic table numbers. Just another detail you didn’t know you needed for your next event.
We loved how Maggie and Barret’s menus turned out, especially the way they popped overtop the deeper colors of the décor. Simply done and perfectly placed, creating a menu for your event helps promote that classic look that we all adore.
As if the fresh snow, cobble stone floor, stringed lighting, and wintery florals weren’t enough to perfect this fairy-tale, our bride and groom used a snow machine for their unforgettable send-off! Really solidifying the winter wonder wedding fun!
At White Ink, we are so touched to be a part of our couples’ dream weddings. We can’t think of a bigger honor. For Maggie and Barret, we were thrilled to use our creativity in helping them create a night that is frozen in time. Congrats!
