Literature will continue to be a huge inspiration for many people throughout their lives, including book loving couples. There are so many creative and crafty ways to incorporate a love of books into your wedding styling, from subtle vintage centre pieces to elaborate backdrops. Let the imagined world of fiction inspire your real life love story with these lovely literary styling ideas for book lovers.
