Have your ceremony or reception in a room with a library

There are many venues with victorian library rooms or grand bookshelf’s that can create amazing backdrops for your big day, depending on the layout of the function room you may be able to speak with the venue coordinator about having your top table in front of the bookshelf/library to create the wow factor and really top off your theme. These features are most commonly found in a country house and listed venues.

Name your tables after your favourite fictional couples from favourite books

Replace the standard table numbers for something different, you could name them after your favourite series of books, favourite fictional characters like Romeo & Juliet and Harry Potter & Ginny Weasley or even short quotes and lines from your favourite novels. If you are wanting to go for the vintage book’s style put your table names on light brown stained cards rather than the traditional plain white cards to give it that old and rustic effect.
