It would be awesome to find an open space or an english garden and you can accessorize and theme the wedding with shelves of books you like…and lamps..make some sort of a reading lounge area but in an open space with touches of flowers for whimsical feel. You can even use pile of books topped with small glass vases of flowers with crystals for the centerpiece tables.

Hi everyone! We had our reception in a vintage law library and it couldn’t have been more fabulous! We ran with a book/vintage library theme – which turned out to be conducive to our super tight (15K) budget, as didn’t have to “dress up” the reception site, the library was gorgeous enough! All of our DIY wedding paper carried the “The Story of Us” theme, my favorite of which were my Escort Card Books (inspired by a Rebecca Thus photo) and our library-check-out-card-advice-note-cards. Our library had super dark wood tones throughout, while the books themselves were a variety of deep, rich colors. As a result, our Eggplant & Pomegranate color scheme complimented the existing decor! Yay! The one thing I wish I had done, however, was displayed actual eggplants and pomegranates… But, oh well, live and learn. If you’d like a bit of inspiration, feel free to peruse the details of my wedding! Good luck!

I’d also suggest going to http://www.weddingbee.com and looking at the blogger “Mrs. Lovebug.” She had a literature inspired wedding, complete with an adorable typewriter guestbook and hardback book centerpieces. She’s really creative!

I am a journalism graduate with an English minor and love the idea of a literature inspired wedding. I immediately went to thoughts of the pages themselves picturing lots of cremes with flourishing black designs and tons of calligraphy and creme anemones. Adding color inspired by actual books you read is great. I have seen some people make toss flower petal or feather holders of old music pages made into a cone but old book pages would add to your whole theme.

Ditto on the suggestion for a university club or library. I recently did a wedding with a great “love stories” theme. We provided classic romance novels such as Jane Eyre and Dr. Zhivago. They were very reasonable on amazon well under $5 if you buy them in bulk. We wrapped them in plain butcher’s brown paper with a ribbon.It was a great way to top off the evening and the guests loved it.

You MUST check out Christina Oth’s website… he has a picture of escort cards from a wedding at the New York Public Library that were done as book circulation cards. Such a clever idea that would work for your theme. The table names could be titles from your favorite British classics.

Good luck with the rest of your planning!
