Inspired by Book Pages

We love seeing books used in weddings, whether they’re stacked underneath centerpieces or used as a photo prop. One of our favorite ways to use old books is to let the pages take center stage. Old pages are so pretty, versatile–and cheap! Here’s some crafty ways to turn some old book pages into something fabulous!

1. Cake

Cover a cake topper with book pages, and even wrap some around the cake! by Brandon Kidd.

2. Chargers

Layers of ruffled paper make super pretty chargers, via Green Wedding Shoes.

3. Pomanders

Hang paper pomanders for an elegant (and cheap!) version of a chandelier, via Green Wedding Shoes.

For a different take on this idea, cover a big round balloon paper mache style, via Style Me Pretty. A smaller version makes a cute pomander for the flower girl to carry.

4. Place Setting

Tuck a page stamped with a cute image underneath the napkin, via Marry You Me.

5. Paper flowers

We adore these paper flowers (and the “love story” sign) via 100 layer cake. So pretty!

6. Wall art

This pretty idea, via The Sweetest Occasion, is so simple! Rip pages out of a favorite book and hang them as wall art. Brilliant!

And that’s just a few of our favorites! Like we said, book pages are so fabulously versatile–we can think of hundreds more ways to incorporate them into your decor.
