Design by the book

After our latest table plan success (a giant vintage book-shaped table plan!) we decided to have a look around to see what kind of stationery has been made in this style: the bookish style!

SKC's giant book-shaped table plan.

Literature is a great wedding theme for two reasons: 1. it elevates our love stories to the heights of immortal novels, and 2. it gives us a great deal of design possibilities!
To get your ideas flowing on this subject we did a quick online search. Amongst our findings were the well known penguin classics' invites, but also some other rather creative ideas!

Superman Envelopes by Desiree Fleck
Envelopes are a key part of your wedding stationery and these ones are the ideal compliment for a more simple style of invite. Plus they are a pretty ecological way to announce your wedding!

Romeo and Juliet Pencil set by Vanessa
Aren't these a spectacular favour for your guests? Romantic, bookish and timeless!

Escort/place cards with vintage book pages by Roseanna Willis
I absolutely love these place cards. The vintage book pages really make a difference and bring a lovely nostalgic feeling to the whole table arrangement.


What about you? Would you like to base your wedding stationery on your favourite books?

  1. We had music sheets incorporated into our wedding stationery - we wanted books but couldn't find any that I was willing to destroy! :)

  2. I agree with Sarah - I love the idea of incorporating vintage books, or music sheets... but when I see it, beautiful as it is, the thought of tearing individual pages makes me a little bit sad. I'm torn! (pardon the pun!)
