Book nerd alert! As a totally book-obsessed geek myself, today's trendy Tuesday, inspired by Mary and Steve's literary themed vintage wedding, is just up my - erm - library aisle? We take a look at how to recreate the romance and nostalgia brought to life on Mary and Steve's special day by using a combination of old novels, paper florals and vintage glassware. Plus, we throw in loads of styling suggestions and supplier suggestions to boot. Yipee! Images by Anne-Claire Brun Wedding Photography.
