When designing paper goods and day-of details for weddings, we always strive to bring cohesion to the design. We did just that for this Cherokee Dock Nashville wedding. The couple, Madison and Jackson, dreamed of a celebration filled with soft spring colors, thoughtful touches, and a hint of fun. We took their ideas and wove their vision and colors into every element we created, bringing their vision to life. From the invitation suite to the late-night snack boxes, this wedding was full of creativity, color, and personality.
A Soft, Spring-Inspired Invitation Suite
We started with an invitation suite inspired by airy spring hues. The palette centered around light blue, white, and a soft sherbet orange, which instantly set a fresh and joyful tone for the day.
For the envelopes, we used a dusty blue color that was the foundation of the wedding day design. The envelopes featured the couple’s monogram and a custom floral-patterned envelope liner created with the wedding’s signature orange hue accent color.
The main invitation was white with light blue calligraphy. The details card was similar but stood out with a thick sherbet-orange border. The entire suite was then wrapped in a vellum band in the same light orange color showcasing a custom sketch of Cherokee Dock in a deep blue.
The suite felt polished yet playful and gave guests an early glimpse into the wedding day ahead.
Wedding Day-of Details
For the ceremony, we designed a white welcome sign featuring sherbet orange lettering, keeping everything soft, clean, and cohesive.
Guests also received program fans, which served a dual purpose of sharing the ceremony details while offering much-needed relief from the Tennessee heat. Practical and beautiful—our favorite combination.
Fun, Colorful Details at the Bar
We created bar inserts showcasing the signature light blue color pattern. This same pattern could later be found on the table linens created seamless design that carried through the wedding day. On top of the bar, guests found custom orange napkins and white stir sticks with an orange flower sketch, bringing an extra pop of color. It’s always the small touches that make the biggest impact.
Seating Chart Display
We created a framed seating chart wall with a gallery light, giving it the look of a curated art installation. The clean, structured design brought an elevated feel to the reception entrance.
Reception Details That Tied Everything Together
As guests entered the reception, they located their seats using the frosted acrylic table numbers and white place cards we designed. Notice anything familiar? Here are the table linens I mentioned earlier featuring the same light blue pattern from the bar fronts! The repeating pattern created a seamless, intentional design, which is our speciality.
We also designed the frosted cups used throughout the evening, which doubled as wedding favors. Each cup featured the Cherokee Dock sketch from the vellum band, this time printed in light orange, paired with the couple’s initials and wedding date in soft blue. It was the perfect blend of chic and fun.
A Playful Late-Night Snack Moment
The wedding ended with a little late night snack of burgers and fries that were served in custom burger and fry boxes we designed! The white burger boxes featured a bold orange circle centered on the lid with the couple’s monogram in white. The fry boxes leaned retro with white-and-red stripes and a yellow circle holding the same monogram.
This final detail brought so much personality and nostalgia. It was impossible not to smile when you saw them. Not only that, but they were truly so much fun to create.
A Spring Wedding Filled With Creativity and Color
This Cherokee Dock celebration was the perfect mix of polished design, soft springtime color, and playful, personalized details. Every piece from the invitations to food packaging was created with intention and cohesive design in mind. It was an honor to bring Madison and Jackson’s wedding vision to life.

It was such a joy to design classic black and white wedding invitations and day-of details for Eva and Francesco’s Saint Elle Wedding. The entire celebration centered around an timeless and elevated black-and-white palette, and our paper goods became the thread that tied everything together. Everything from the playful save the dates that imitated a plane ticket, to the meaningful displays guests interacted with throughout the day was created with purpose. Eva and Francesco infused their personalities and story into every detail, giving us the opportunity to create something meaningful, elevated, and uniquely them.
Classic, Elevated Invitations With a Modern Edge
Their invitation suite laid the foundation for the black-and-white theme, with a modern structure and layered textures. Their suite was proof that modern doesn’t mean minimal. Eva & Francesco wanted a suite that felt personal, polished, and completely their own. So we leaned into sculptural shapes, high-contrast tones, and luxe gold foil to make every piece feel intentional. We designed the main invitation in a white tombstone shape for a striking yet classic focal point. The additional paper pieces layered neatly into the suite, and each card alternated in color of white, black, and cream, indicating the main colors of their wedding day. It was the perfect balance of clean, elevated, and effortlessly chic.
And don’t miss the save the date; designed to look like a plane ticket for their destination-inspired day. A first-class way to kick things off, if you ask us.
Seating Chart Wall Featuring Their Engagement Photos
This was a first for us, and now we’re obsessed! When the bride asked if we could include their engagement photos on the seating chart, we said absolutely yes. We had fun with this request, designing a seating chart that became an instant showstopper. The result was a black and white moment that felt like part art gallery, part seating chart, and fully them.
The sleek black display wall, we added the white lettering to display the guest names and their table assignment. Then on each side, framing the display we showcased an engagement photo. At the top corner of the display, their names, Eva & Francesco, framed the design beautifully. On the opposite side, we added a sweet personal touch with the phrase: “Tennessee made us sweethearts. Find your seat and let’s celebrate.”It added warmth, storytelling, and just the right amount of Southern charm.
A Cowboy Hat Guestbook Wall
It’s no secret that Nashville is all about country music. To honor a bit of their story, personality, and the city where they tied the knot, they included a cowboy hat guestbook wall, which might have been my favorite detail of the entire day. Not only was it unique and memorable, it created a playful and completely memorable moment for guests, as they couldn’t wait to leave their mark.
The black display wall featured their last name, “The Pulvinos,” in bold white lettering centered at the top. Below, we mounted one black and one white cowboy hat for guests to sign, along with a small cocktail table placed in front to hold pens. It perfectly captured the couple’s love for Nashville while remaining clean and elevated.
Menus, Bar Signage, & Table Numbers
To round out the day-of details, we carried the black-and-white palette through everything including the welcome sign and classic white menus set against black paper at each place setting. On the elegant tablescape were the table numbers we created that coordinated with the seating chart. The custom bar signage we did featured an adorable illustration of their dog.
Every piece tied back to the invitation suite and the classic, black-and-white destination theme, creating a cohesive, high-end design experience from the moment guests arrived.
This Saint Elle wedding was such a beautiful example of how a classic palette can still feel fresh, modern, and deeply personal. Between the black-and-white details, meaningful installations, and thoughtful touches throughout the day, Eva and Francesco created a celebration that was elevated but still uniquely theirs. It was such an honor to bring their vision to life by designing their invitations and day-of-details.

This Nashville wedding at The Cordelle was full of personality, color, and creative design. It perfectly reflected the couple’s playful spirit and love for music. As a team that loves weaving meaning into every detail, we had the best time bringing their vision to life through a collection of custom stationery and day-of details that felt both fun and elevated.
Fun and Playful Invitations
The couple lives in New York but loves the city of Nashville, and chose it as their wedding destination! Their invitation suite set the tone from the very beginning. We combined blue calligraphy on crisp white paper and lavender envelopes. The light green details card and soft pink rehearsal dinner card added pops of color and gave the suite a fresh, fun, playful feel.
Rehearsal Dinner Welcome Sign
For the rehearsal dinner, guests were welcomed with a custom sign that introduced the weekend’s colorful aesthetic. The border design on the welcome sign also mirrored the border found on the rehearsal dinner card from the invitation suite. It’s truly these tiny details that make your wedding day and that we love to include.
Vinyl Record Wedding Details at The Cordelle
One of our favorite elements was the seating chart wall, which we created entirely from real vinyl records. The couple love vinyl records and color, so naturally we paired the two and leaned into the city’s musical energy while highlighting their love story. Each guest’s name and table assignment were displayed on the vinyl record, and each album cover artwork depicted a special moment in their love story! All of this was beautifully displayed on a white installation with The Beatles song lyrics “All you need is love” written above the display.
We kept the vinyl record theme going by using them as table numbers as well, tying the whole concept together beautifully. I just love these design concepts that are carried throughout the day! At the dinner table, you could also find the custom menus we created tucked into light pink napkins.
To honor Nashville’s creative roots, we also designed a hatch print–inspired poster for the guestbook. Guests were able to sign the poster as a keepsake for the couple.
This wedding was such a joy to design! We love creating wedding details that reflect the couple and tell a story from beginning to end, and this Cordelle wedding was the perfect example of that.

I absolutely love when couples do things differently or incorporate details that aren’t your typical wedding choices. For Madeline and James’ Vintage Wedding at Union Station Hotel in Nashville, we were able to produce some unique day of details that leaned into the couple personally, as well as highlighted the historic Nashville venue, Union Station Hotel.
Once a bustling train station, the venue is now a luxury hotel that still carries the character, charm, and timeless elegance. It was the perfect backdrop for a wedding that celebrated their love of vintage style, literature, and timeless design. It was such an honor to create the custom invitations and wedding day details, like the vintage hotel key seating chart, vintage book table numbers, and train-inspired save the dates that tied their vision together.
All Aboard: Train Ticket-Inspired Save the Dates
We kicked things off with a playful nod to Union Station’s history. Their save the dates were designed to look like vintage train tickets. Guests instantly got a feel for the historic venue, creating the perfect prelude to their big day.
For their invitations, we leaned into a more classic, elevated design with white and navy taking center stage. The suite echoed the timeless elegance of Union Station, as the border of the invitation looked similar to the ornate architectural details found inside Union Station.
Seating Chart Display
A mirrored welcome sign greeted guests with timeless elegance as they entered the venue. They then made their way to the seating chart installation, which was one of the most memorable elements from their day.
To play off the venue being a hotel, we designed a display featuring vintage-style keys. The backdrop was a navy blue wall with small hooks, each holding a key paired with a guest’s name and table assignment. Not only did this create a fun and unexpected experience for guests, but it also doubled as a beautiful installation that perfectly fit the historic setting.
Vintage Book-Inspired Wedding Details
Because the couple are book lovers, it only made sense to incorporate that love into their wedding details. I hand-painted vintage books with numbers in gold to use as table numbers. The result was amazing!
These custom table numbers looked stunning on the elegant tablescapes, which were made complete with gold plates, navy napkins, and the custom menus we created.
Some of the tabletop signage was displayed inside vintage books as well. At the dessert table, for example, the display listed out the selections for the mini pie bar, all while tying into the couple’s love of literature.
The signature cocktail signs in gold frames, were another element created by White Ink, with the colors and font matching those on the invitation.
A Vintage Celebration at Union Station Hotel
This Union Station Hotel wedding was brimming with thoughtful, personalized touches. Every element tied back to the couple’s love for history, literature, and vintage style, all while honoring the character of one of Nashville’s most iconic venues.

As a full-service wedding design house in Nashville, we love working with couples and planners to create wedding details that reflect each couples’ unique vision. It is such a treat to create custom pieces that tell your story, and are thoughtfully woven into your day. Lexi Jo and Landry’s artistic and colorful wedding at Belle Meade Historic Site in Nashville, Tennessee, was the perfect example of how vibrant colors and meaningful design can come together to create something truly beautiful and unforgettable.
Sherbet Hues and Hand-Painted Details
Their wedding invitations were one-of-a-kind. The main invite was both elegant and southern in style with white card stock and blue calligraphy. Then there was the cowboy boot-shaped welcome party piece, which hinted at the fun cowboy cocktail dress code. It was playful, memorable, and full of personality just like the couple! This was the perfect base for the pop of sherbet orange on the rsvp and wedding details card. The combination of white and blue, and the creamy orange hue were carried throughout the day.
However, our favorite moment of this suite was the groom’s hand-painted floral artwork that was included on the vellum overlay (as well as many other wedding details) that held all the paper pieces together with a wax seal.
Day-of Details That Brought the Color Palette to Life
The celebration continued with colorful, cohesive paper goods that carried their sherbet-toned color palette and floral focused design into every space.
Wedding Welcome Sign
A white, rounded welcome sign featuring Southern-inspired blue calligraphy greeted guests, framed by a stunning floral arrangement bursting with vibrant pinks, purples, and oranges. As guests entered the outdoor ceremony site covered in gorgeous florals they could pick up a wedding program. We designed the programs on classic white paper with blue calligraphy and a floral element from the suite brought a cohesive and elegant finishing touch to the ceremony space.
Elegant Seating Chart
The seating chart was a show-stopping display and one of my favorite details. The display featured soft blue lettering on a white background that had a 3D effect with stunning florals arranged at the base. The mix of low florals and tall stemmed blooms created a romantic, layered look that perfectly complemented the venue’s charm.
Bar Sign
We created an oval bar sign in steel blue, with white calligraphy framed by the same floral border from the invitation art. This visual tie-in made the entire event feel thoughtfully styled.
Reception Tablescape and Details
As guests moved inside for the reception they found their menus tucked into a custom die-cut orange pocket, again featuring Landry’s floral artwork. The menus and orange acrylic table numbers popped against the blue linens and tied into the colorful spring floral centerpieces.
Lexi Jo and Landry’s wedding was full of color, romance, and intention. It was a joy to work them, and lean in to their love of color and design, as well as the rest of the amazing vendor team who brought this wedding dream to life!
