This bookish wedding in Kansas featured handcrafted floral designs made from the pages of nearly two dozen beloved books, chosen by the couple and their families. Each piece was a literary tribute, turning favorite stories into unforgettable wedding flowers.
Wildflower Literary Blooms: Bridal Bouquet & Groom’s Boutonniere
For this enchanting wedding, the bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere were crafted from beloved stories close to the couple’s hearts. The bride’s wildflower-inspired bouquet featured delicate paper blooms made from Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Outlander pages, beautifully arranged in rich reds, greens, and golds for a whimsical, literary touch. The groom’s boutonniere echoed this theme with blooms crafted from A Game of Thrones pages, wrapped in ivory lace ribbon for a simple yet striking finish. Together, these pieces transformed favorite books into timeless floral keepsakes, celebrating love through the magic of storytelling.
Floral Details for the Wedding Party and Family
The wedding party wore simplified versions of the bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere. Bridesmaids carried posies of paper roses, poppies, and sweetgum pods, while groomsmen, ring bearers, and ushers wore matching boutonnieres. Wrist corsages for the bridal attendant and flower girl echoed the floral theme. Matching family flowers were also created for parents and grandparents, tying the entire celebration together with a cohesive, literary-inspired look. Every single piece was crafted from each person’s favorite book, making the floral designs not only cohesive, but deeply personal: a celebration of love, family, and the stories that shaped them.
Literary-Inspired Decor Details
The decor carried the same thoughtful, bookish charm as the personal flowers. Centerpieces featured simple arrangements of book page blooms: lilies, roses, and delicate greenery, styled in vintage vases to create a soft, romantic feel. Stemless roses were scattered across tables, adding a touch of literary magic. All decor pieces were crafted from a mix of all the books used throughout the wedding, bringing the couple’s favorite stories together into one beautifully cohesive celebration.
