Vintage Book Theme Brooklyn Wedding

So excited to finally share all of the gorgeous details from Cameron and Marcella's book and travel themed wedding. We've been waiting for the cute ladies over at Wedding Chicks to feature it, which you can check out here, and now we can share all the fun here as well! The fantastic pair married at the truly breathtaking Palm House at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.  Since the bride is a teacher and the groom loves to read, we started with a book theme, and then quickly added in a travel element since the couple are big travelers as well.  Each table had a stack of vintage books that the couple collected over a few months that served as a favor for each guest.  The books also served as great (and inexpensive) visual interest that created layers and textures and different heights for the candles and gorgeous flowers by Amy at Seaport Flowers.  Each table was named after a destination that the couple had traveled to together, and the groom happens to be an amazing photographer and he created beautiful postcards for each place setting.  And the photography by Ohana Photographers really hit this one out of the park.

 

For the escort cards, those are standard air mail envelopes run through a printer.  Cute, fabulous and budget friendly!

A detail of the beautiful postcards made by the groom.

And it gets even better.  The couple printed a note on the back of each city giving travel tips and favorite memories from each city visited.

Sweet and Handmade Reception Decor

Hello! This is Molly, one of Rock Paper Scissors' intern extraordinnaires. I wanted to drop in and make sure you saw this super sweet, super soft, super unique reception of Aimee and Jerry's, which I saw over on Ruffled a couple weeks ago. I always love when creative brides get their hands dirty in the pretty details


I love those bow napkins!

 
This event was held at the Smog Shoppe, one of my favorite venues floating around blogland lately. It comes with all this fantastic ecclectic decor that gives the events there a really lived-in feel.

 
 
So cute! Everything was sweet and light without being too feminine. For more pictures and information about the bride and groom, pop on over to Ruffled for all the juicy details.
