Sadly, summer is gone and school is back in session… which means that old feeling of hitting the books is palpable.

This has been quite a trend over the past few years, whether the event has a vintage theme or the bride and groom are bookworms. Books hold special, romantic stores just like our hearts… maybe you’ll fall in love with one of these ideas just like you did with your favorite book!
