I’ve heard about this fantastic wedding from so many Nashville wedding vendors. But, this is the first sneak peek into this amazing Nashville wedding that took place at Opryland Hotel. Today’s wedding recap is told from Designs in Paper, a custom stationer’s perspective, which is a great perspective because we get to see the extravagant paper details that normally we miss.

Wedding paper goes beyond your invitations. Don’t forget about your wedding programs, menu cards, seating cards - all of these elements go a long way and carry your theme throughout.

Guest Blogger: Designs in Paper, a Nashville based, custom paper company

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a month since this Tennessee Titans player and his beautiful wife were married! We have incredibly fabulous photos from Gray Photography that we have been so excited about showing off Janina and Reynaldo’s ‘big day’ paper with. One of our favorite parts about doing paper goods is getting to do the entire celebration … and it’s great to keep the look of your day cohesive… Janina and Reynaldo picked an A7 pocket fold invitation since they had a number of guests traveling from out of town - with their accommodation information, custom map to Gaylord Opryland and then a custom RSVP card for each guest. We created a custom monogram and then also watermarked their ‘H’ on the invitation as well as the inserts. As we started getting closer to the wedding, we met to look at programs, escort cards, menu cards and table numbers… all with their same monogram, their ‘H’, fonts, colors and styles. We thought you’d also love getting to see how they all fit in — and how beautiful it all was… Thanks SO much to Zach and Jody … check out their the Gray Photography blog for more photos of this wedding and their awesome work…

and Congratulations to Janina and Reynaldo!
