i'm really diggin' this idea of incorporating gently used books into the wedding day. it's such a great way to add height and dimension to a table, all while giving off a smarty pants vibe. you can collect beautifully colored hardcovers from your local salvation army, flea markets and garage sales. or, use the good old internet to score classic romance novels on online auction sites like ebay.

best yet, the books could double as favors for your guests!

you could leave library check-out cards at each person's seat with a little note letting them know the books are for their taking. the check-out cards could also double as place cards! the possibilities are endless : )

any other ideas?
