More and more couples choose books as their wedding theme or just incorporate them into décor because books are cool! If you are a couple of book lovers, add them to your big day or even have a library or book-inspired wedding!
Library Venue
Remember Sex And The City film? Carrie Bradshaw chose a library as her wedding venue because so many love letters and stories are contained in each. And yes, this is a gorgeous and unique idea, libraries can be a refined and chic venue that will leave a long-lasting impression. Antique libraries are perfect for having an art deco wedding, a refined, vintage, classical and elegant affair.

Table Décor
Decorate your tables using old books and book pages. Stack some old books and bundle them with lace and burlap, put some flowers in vases atop, your favorite quotes and tealight candles. Another idea is to put the books under a cloche to accentuate them, and you can also write something on pages. Make a book page table runner for every table to embrace the theme.

Other Book Wedding Decorations
Use book pages to create unique decorations for the whole venue. Book page garlands, lanterns, fans, bursts will decorate the whole venue. Make book page hangings with cutout hearts or just cut out some hearts and make garlands of them. Use book page hearts instead of usual confetti. To create simple book-themed lanterns, take mason jars, then book pages and cut two hearts in each page. Then wrap a mason jar with this page and insert a candle inside.
