Fanciful Ink has collaborated with several different wedding vendors in the Nashville area. Premier photographers, venues, planner, florists and other wedding professionals have been involved to come together and create a styled wedding set to showcase individual talents. These styled shoots have been featured on across many blogs.
the big fake wedding : Farm to table
This was designed for a bride in mind who doesn’t care about what’s hip and modern. Instead, she values gathering people she loves around the same table. With freshly-picked herbs, graceful florals, and unpolished stone, the designers created something sure to make you swoon.

LOVE GROWS WILD from chancey charm
The concept is that love blooms where it's planted, and it takes you on a wild journey! All of the vendors were so wonderful to work with and really let me be creative. I loved using smoke bombs and colors I rarely use in weddings to really hone in on the passion behind the shoot.

fresh and moody vibes at venue 142
A fresh approach to a moody pallet of deep burgundy, purple and muted peach florals are enhanced by the deep teal and navy crushed velvet cloth, edgy nails and simple sophistication in the bride's gown. The black and marble geometric deco invitation suite is a modern twist on your invitation suite.

under the tuscan sun with the gifford collective
The gorgeous sunwashed rustic venue of Meadow Hill Farm feels like you stepped into the Tuscan countryside with their gorgeous cocktail garden and lush landscape. It was the perfect place to have an intimate Italian garden feel in colors of oranges, golds and greens for the invitation and flowers. Tiles with calligraphy, baguette place cards and deckled edge menus were some touches that completed the Tuscan look.

elegant southern elopment at mere bulles
An elopement doesn’t have to remind you of the tackiness of Vegas. You can still have the elegance of your dreams on a smaller scale to make your special day even better. Inspired by the traditional elegance of the South and the beauty of a royal fairytale, rose tones and rich navy allowed for this classic look to come together in a timeless way.

wild thing, nashville style
This shoot was a little country, a little rock and roll and all bad-ass. Calligraphy can look pretty cool on the plate of an old red chevrolet and also on the back of a fringed suede jacket. Hell Yeah! Dusty pinks with a little bit of a cool tropical vibe was perfect to slide right into a dark black fern laser cut sleeve.

Fall jewel tones at the chapel at steward's grove
The amazing team of artist created a fall inspiration bringing in dark jewel tones and black with lots of "antique" versus "vintage" inspiration. We decided we think copper is the new gold, so we went with lots of browns, coppers, and brass with our dark jewel tones.

GLAMOUR AT THE ESTATE AT CHEROKEE DOCK
Neutral and glamorous never goes out of style. Champagne, Opal & Gold get an upgrade with the most gorgeous gown at the beautiful backdrop of this estate on the lake. Pampas grass and loose florals in shades of cream and gold were the only details needed. An elegant laser cut invitation holder in shimmery opal with brushed gold and champagne tone on tone design create an elegant first impression.

celestial deep love at the estate at cherokee dock
Deep purples and blues with bursts of shimmery elements here and there created an overall celestial look that was so gorgeous at sunset. Hand drawn nebulas printed on acrylic invitations really set the tone for this shoot. Hand painted acrylic menus and calligraphy place cards were the finishing touch.

delicate acrylic details
Yellow takes center stage in this otherwise delicate and vibrant shoot. Yellow geometric print on an acrylic invitation is beautiful but lightweight and makes a statement. Little details like acrylic calligraphy tags, menus and signature cocktail trays really personalize everything. The most special detail is a hand written calligraphy ring box for your most precious possession.

French glam garden : entertain! launch party
The team successfully brought together two styles that are not typically paired in most events. The amazing pool inspired blues with tropical plants pop with colors that go perfectly with the ultra modern white and clear acrylic furniture. The historic East Ivy Mansion created the best backdrop for inspiring a Miami glam pool party at night and a stunning French wedding ceremony during the day.

glitzy rock at venue 142
Glitzy burgundy, soft blush and black leather paired with rich berry jewel tones at Venue 142's exposed brick historic building is the perfect way to make elegant and rock work. A classic color pallet of black and white gets a modern take with a mirrored black mat and laser cut slide card with funky fonts and stripes.

vintage bohemian at the Kata tipis
A bygone era lends to an adventurous bohemian vibe under a series of giant tipis in the woods. An elegantly rustic feel in the florals and rental accents created a warm palette of mauves, golden hues and dusty blues and greens. Completely hand painted watercolor birds and an invitation fully in calligraphy on hand made paper was a luxury addition to this crafted shoot. Artistry and details made everything just a little extra.

Wild ones at 14tenn
Autumnal tones of deep russet, greens and sunset tones were the perfect colors for a boho chic late summer/early fall shoot at 14Tenn’s beautiful venue. Complementary hues in torn layers of peach blush, harvest taupe and golden mustard created a unique invitation that moved and showed little secrets in each layer. The design was topped off with a wild bouquet and the entire piece slid into a deep evergreen mandala laser cut invitation wrap.

BRIGHT cactus
Pops of brilliant sunset orange, pink and blue flowers flowed through this amazing floral shoot with cacti tucked in. Textured details in the pink tablecloths, turquoise tile plates and terracotta place card pots were exquisite details among the river of flowers everywhere. Even the dog of honor was bedecked in a flower collar and leash! The bright airy space of 14Tenn was the perfect backdrop for the beautiful colors to shine.
