* A Bookworm’s Wedding

Posted on December 8th, 2010 by Jeannie. Filed under Do It Yourself, Favors.


Vintage books have been a very cool theme in weddings lately, as centerpieces, on guest tables or even as gifts. We love this romantic accessory, and think these sweet bookmarks are the perfect escort card. I think people would actually keep these little favors and use them forever! Get our shiny new DIY step-by-step here!

Thank you City Cradle Design for the idea - and Carly Taylor for pics!
