Wedding Styling: Book themed wedding

This fun little theme is a little outside the box.  For couples who have a passion for reading and literature this can be such a cute idea to base their wedding style around.  


A book themed wedding can create a really cosy old world style by using antique books that can be easily obtained from local antique or collectable stores as well as via ebay.  



To create a really consistent look choose books of the same colour palette as your other wedding shades such as these:



This is just spectacular - not only the use of books but also two book cases to create the most perfect backdrop for a library themed wedding.  The use of props in outdoor ceremonies is such a fabulous idea that is really starting to emerge to make any location special.  The use of fresh flowers and potted plant blends in seamlessly with this garden location.



If you are fortunate enough to live in a city that values their historical buildings as hasn't knocked them all down like here in Brisbane you could even consider holding your ceremony or reception in a historical library.



Etsy is a fabulous resource for styling any sort of wedding.  Here is a gorgeous little find that would suit a book or library themed wedding - bouquets made from printed paper flowers - too cute!


The old fashioned book theme can even be carried through to your cake if you are lucky enough to find a very creative baker.
