Wedding Decoration Project for Book Lovers
By Bridget Clegg for TheKnot.com
Create a DIY centerpiece-table number combo in just a few snips! You’ll cut into and stamp the pages of one of the books in each stack, but the rest can be borrowed from your collection and grouped by color or theme. Style your table with small bud vases and votives and your tablescape is set. Bonus: you can use the same stamps on the spine or front edges of a set of books to make your own wedding sign for the guest book or escort card table (like this couple did!).
