Library Photoshoots

For engagement photos, skip the traditional park or city setting and pick a library instead. The warm ambiance and tall bookshelves can become a perfect backdrop for the shots. You can also capture some creative pre-wedding shots in that setting.

The Decor

Subtlety is important here, so don’t overdo the decor. Here are some ideas for inspiration: A typewriter at the entryway, a venue map with a treasure hunt look, and library lamp posts for aisle lighting. These thoughtful details don’t look too “nerdy” or scream “theme party.”

Library Card “Save the Dates”

Rather than a traditional save-the-date, send out cards that look like library cards. This idea will just stand out and fill your guests with more excitement for the wedding. Such a small yet meaningful detail can set the tone for your book-themed wedding.

Author Areas

Sticking to the generics isn’t fun anymore. So, plan different areas inspired by different authors. You could have a Stephen King food station or a Charles Dickens dance floor. It’s another way to celebrate multiple authors with a more customized vibe.

Ring In A Book

On a book lover’s wedding, weaving literature can be as simple as placing the rings inside a hollowed-out book. It’s a subtle yet beautiful way to tie your love for books into your ceremony. A close friend or relative can carry it down the aisle for a special feel.

Kissing Behind A Book

Have a private moment behind a book during your wedding photos. Simply hold your favorite book up to your faces as you share a kiss, and create a sweet and romantic moment. Isn’t it a cute, old-school way to show your love for each other?

Wedding Vows

As bride and groom, you both could read a relatable passage or write vows inspired by each other’s favorite novel or poem. A personal essence like this will give the celebration more depth, and the shared lines will strengthen the heartfelt promises you’ll make to each other.

Naming The Tables

Imagine guests seated at “The Hunger Games,” “The Godfather,” or the “Queen of Hearts.” That will be a blast! Name the seats and tables after your favorite books or characters. Those names can also be a fun conversation starter and a personalized touch everyone enjoys.

Favorite Quotes On Menus

Make the menus interesting by pairing each item with a witty quote. For instance, a rich chocolate dessert could feature the quote “I could never love anyone as I love you” from “Wuthering Heights,” while a fiery cocktail might include “Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired” from “The Great Gatsby.”

Book Cake

A cake that looks like a stack of novels with your favorite titles—why not? Such a creative design will surely leave a lasting impression on your guests. You can display your love of books as you indulge in something sweet.
