Bookworm Wedding, Part 1: Library Themed!

You knew this was coming! Feast your eyes on the bookish beauty of all things library!


Here are just a few sensationally beautiful and historic library settings!

The Karples Manuscript Library on Elmwood & North in Downtown Buffalo! If we weren't getting married in a church, this would be my dream come true!Breathtaking!

The ultimate in library wedding settings! The New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue!

This library is in Brooklyn, and I'm in love!

Love the rich color schemes! Oak-paneled libraries remind me of 19th Century men's clubs. Bring on the brandy snifters!

So wonderful!

Dorky love!

Bouquet with roses made with antique book pages!

Such great invitations! Wonder how much the postage cost!

Even better! Old library due-date invitations!


Mmmm... book cake!

A vintage library wedding just wouldn't be complete without a card catalog! Here are some genius ideas for incorporating these hard-to-find gems into reception decor!

I want one so badly!


I love using antiques as unexpected flower arrangement vessels!

Adorable bookplate escort cards!

Such fun table cards!

Even I'm not this crafty!

Books as character-adding centerpieces! This is the new mason jar!

Loving the globe and the owls! Very sweet hipster!

Cardigan and lacy turtlenecks, messy buns and bangs! Library-chic essentials!

...your library wedding!

A City Hall Wedding: My Dad's Dream!

Sorry Dad, we're getting hitched the old fashioned way, complete with big church and costly reception. But aren't city hall weddings adorable?

Here's a great opportunity to wear a short vintage dress,
gloves and a birdcage veil!
Loving these knee-length dresses! So lovely!
The bouquet is a must!

Sundress and no jacket! I love how spontaneous it looks!
But not too spontaneous, they have a great photographer after all!

These pictures alone almost convinced me to have a yellow-themed wedding!


Such great architectural photo ops!
Though the little details are just as cute...


Happy hipsters!
Or super-chic city gals!

Come to your senses already New York State! Universal human right!


If this doesn't make bring a tear to your eye, I don't know what will!

San Fransisco, you have a beautiful city hall!
