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.
