Wedding Wednesday: A Book Lover’s Dream

Wedding Wednesday (1)

Oh you guys. You’re probably all going to wonder what took me so long to get to this Wedding Wednesday.

I don’t know. I haven’t had enough coffee, apparently. I need more.

Lots more.

But today. Today is the day. Today…I present, a Book Lover’s Wedding.

Yes. ALL THE YESES!

The dress:

From Belle the Magazine

Isn’t this dress sweet? I love the classic lines and deep sweetheart neckline, but you know what I adore?? How the color reminds me of vintage book paper, and the layers remind me of falling book pages. I love this. For reals.

And bonus jewelry:

Because who doesn’t want Pride & Prejudice earrings?! (I may actually go find these and buy them just because. Don’t tell the husband though, k?)

The bouquet:

Because YES. Even though these are pages from a book, which kinda hurts my heart. BUT I HAVE A SOLUTION! You can download images of book pages, print them out on both sides of a piece of paper, and then create this bouquet with those printed pages! See? IT’S A GOOD PLAN.

For the Groom:

Yeah, for once I’m including him in this. Nice, eh?

How cute is this?! With the most important dates listed on the library card, then the wedding date? As an invitation?? I’m in love.

The decor:

Because who doesn’t want to be married under a book arch?! I die.

For the guest book table? How cute!

The cake:

I admit it, I couldn’t decide. One is less literal and two are, well, more literal. And I love them all.

I love how clean this one is, except for the “ink print” on a couple of the layers. Very simple and elegant!

This one is sweet and simple, and could be personalized to the bride and groom specifically. Love.

So this one is definitely more colorful, but I adore the idea of having book titles on the cake that both the bride and groom love. I mean, this. is. fab.

The favors:

Okay, so this is actually an idea from a bookstore. But really, this could easily be done as wedding favors for guests! Do this and let the guests each choose one. You can go to a used bookstore to find these books, so you’d not only be saving a bit of money, but supporting a local business. What could be better?

Well? What did you think? Would you be all over a book wedding?

Confession: I kinda want to renew my wedding vows just so I can have this wedding. Whoops.
