There are a lot of book, story, reading lovers out there and so if you want to incorporate this love into your big day, we think it’s one of the cutest themes you can decide upon; bravo! Literary love slots seamlessly into weddings; after all your relationship is a story in itself.

You can be playful and creative under this theme, incorporating it as heavily or lightly as you fancy into your day. Here are some of our favourite literary wedding looks:

Book Mark Save the Dates

Start at the very beginning and send your Save the Dates in the style of a book mark. Start creating your wedding story right away by personalising the design – colours, style – to entice your guests with the promise of this theme.

Novel Stack Centrepieces

Simple and effective and not at all pricey, a stack of old covers in the centre of your table – be it round or long – is a great way of incorporating your literary theme on your wedding day. Maybe have the table number perched on top, or have the stack surrounded by rustic flowers…

Names, Titles, Phrases…

The list is endless when it comes to what you can play around with for the literary theme. If you have a favourite novel or book then why not use some phases dotted around the day? A phase at the end of the Order of Service, for example, or the tables named after your favourite authors or characters.

Get Creative

Photocopy some of your favourite pages and use them as bunting or have your favourite saving stencilled onto your wedding cake. There is so much scope and so completely up to you with how far you take your literary theme; either use it as a prologue or make a whole short story out of it. Enjoy!
