Book themed table numbers

Kathryn, on October 19, 2018 at 1:26 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 2 12

My table numbers are FINALLY done and I love them so stinking much, I have to share! There are 14, and each has a different love themed quote from both classic and modern literature. Our favorite quote is “A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.” - The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett!

    Hi Kathryn! These look amazing! How did you come up with this idea? I think your guests will be blown away to learn that you made these! Also, what other lovely literature details do you plan to incorporate on your wedding day? Smiley smile

    We saw some one selling folded book art at a craft show, and the idea grew from there!We have book page covered candle holders, and the main flowers for the boutonierres and my bouquet are these:

    This is similar to my bridal shower theme! We also did seating cards from Etsy that were librbay cards - so cute. We did a lot with the theme “the next chapter” and “happily ever after”

    These are probably my favorite centerpieces I've ever seen on here, or anywhere for that matter! I can't believe they are DIY! How long did it take you and how did you make them, if you don't mind me asking?

    Very creative and well done! I like that you also included a number so people can quickly find their table.

    Once we got a rhythm, the folded books took about an hour and a half each, and the number parts were just printed onto card stock, cut out and adhered with glue dots! They're going to stand on a book with candles on either side and baby's breath and Italian ruscus in one of the candle holders near the spine. We wanted to make sure it wasn't too big of a centerpiece. There's nothing worse than going to a wedding and not being able to find a spot to put your glass from the bar!

    UPDATE:

    The whole centerpiece put together! We're so happy with how they turned out. There is a small electric floating candle in the holder to the left side of the picture, and a second holder behind the book. The one along the spine will have a bit more greens and baby's breath. The green is wrong as none of the local florists had Italian Ruscus on hand for us to do our mock-up.

    We're so happy with them!

    Ahh, I love these, Kathryn!!! Am I talking about the book table numbers or the centerpieces? BOTH, obviously!! It looks so romantic, I feel like I'm looking at a Jane Austen novel made into a movie
