About

Hey there!

My name is Claire White, and I’m the hand and the heart behind White Ink Calligraphy.

I started practicing pointed pen calligraphy in 2014, and my love for all things hand-lettered has continued to flourish (pun intended) since then. I can put calligraphy on just about anything, and I would love to get creative and find new and exciting ways of incorporating calligraphy into your event. On my website, you’ll see where my work has been showcased—from local weddings to destination weddings, from family gatherings to corporate events.

I have a special place in my heart for brides and being part of their big day. And, yes, I live in Nashville, Tennessee—also known as the bachelorette party capital of the world! I tell my brides that the envelope and invitation set the stage for their big day, giving their guests the first glimpse of what is to come. I’d love to assist you in creating a custom calligraphy suite for your invitations and envelopes—and everything beyond! For local brides, I’m located in East Nashville and would be happy to meet in person.

Outside of calligraphy, I’m an attorney who practices law in the public sector. I’m a native Nashvillian (#unicorn) and have enjoyed seeing how this town has grown over the years. I love supporting other local and female-owned businesses, and I collaborate with other female entrepreneurs as much as possible. My trusty assistant, Remy, a ten-year-old golden retriever, is always by my side.

Loved my experience with White Ink!!

I can’t say enough great things about Claire and Townley at White Ink Calligraphy! I saw their work on Instagram and was so mesmerized by Claire’s calligraphy. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I knew I wanted that incorporated somehow. Our invitations were addressed with her calligraphy and they were just SO beautiful!!

I worked mostly with Townley on designing everything. If I couldn’t quite explain to her what I wanted exactly, we would jump on a call and talk through it together until we got it right. That’s how much they care about making sure their client’s LOVE their work and not just “like” it. And trust me, I loved it online but everything in person was somehow even prettier. We got several compliments that our Save the Dates (a custom sketch) and our invitations were some of the most beautiful our family & friends had seen. Also, I have never had to deal with a big event and timing of things so if there was ever a moment I was worried about timing or if something was delayed, etc… Townley and Claire always reassured me that everything would get completed on time and would be okay. They probably don’t realize how much the reassurance helped calm me during this time. And finally I have to share, I needed something very last minute on the day of and Townley didn’t even hesitate or ask questions, she just helped get what I needed asap. I can’t tell you how much they CARE about their clients. Their work is just stunning and I appreciated both of these ladies SO much!!!

Best Decision Ever!

Claire and Townley were amazing to work with!!! From the planning process to the execution, everything was absolutely perfect! One of the best decisions I made was putting all my invitations and day of details in their hands! It was one less thing I needed to worry about and everything was beautiful!

Simply the best!

Working with White Ink for our custom invitation suite and wedding day signage was an absolute dream. I was planning my hometown wedding from afar, and Claire & Townley could not have been more professional and efficient and lovely to Zoom chat with. They welcome the client's input, and bring just an unreal amount of creativity to the project. They took my small idea and turned it into a wedding invite suite that my entire family is still talking about...everyone even kept the envelopes because of the beautiful calligraphy! Our wedding day signs included a bar sign printed on linen and a bourbon tasting guide engraved on wood. I mean... how cool is that?? All because of the vibes I told them I was going for. Don't over think it -- make a consult with White Ink and I promise you'll never regret it. Oh, and go ahead and order their cute "Santa Letters" for the precious littles in your life. My flowergirl is going to LOVE her "nice list" letter!

I had the privilege of collaborating with Claire on a styled shoot recently. She was so fun to work with, was an incredible communicator and is a super talented calligrapher. The goods she created for this shoot were top notch and I have no hesitation about recommending White Ink Calligraphy to clients. I'm excited to work with Claire again soon!

I LOVE White Ink Calligraphy! I have used Claire for personal and business projects and she amazes me every time. Her talent and kindness are two of the many many reasons I send my brides to her. With so many different calligraphy styles, she can coordinate with any invitation style and I am convinced this girl can write on just about anything! Her marble place cards and mirror hand lettering are absolutely stunning and are sure to wow guests!
