Book inspired weddings

I totally love this vintage book inspired tablescape by Brancoprata at Marry You Me. What a great way to incorporate a little bit of personality into the wedding decor, and as an avid book-reading couple we will definately have to find a way to use this in our wedding... albeit without the doilies (i'm sure I have a phobia!)

Im thinking maybe stacks of books to rest the flower centrepieces on? Or maybe even a copy of one of our favourite books as a favour... expensive but very personal?

OOOooohhh *lightbulb* how about buying up books in bulk from local charity shops (or asking friends to donate), and covering them in brown kraft paper - the same way I used to cover my school text books in pretty wrapping papers... that way they will all be coordinated with the colour scheme and we could 'print' our own titles on the side :-)

My brain is going into overdrive on this book theme wedding inspiration... will think of some more to share soon

Twilight Eclipse

I very, very much doubt that I am on my lonesome in being super excited about the upcoming release of Twilight 'Eclipse' next week! However I certainly wouldn't be willing to stand outside in the cold waiting for the stars to make a brief red-carpet appearance... even if they were showing up...

'Twi-hard' fans, as they like to be known by, were on the news this morning complaining about how bitterly dissapointed they are that stars Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart would be boycotting the London premiere of the film in Leicester Square - the official reason given is that their safety was under question after they were mobbed by fans at the New Moon premiere however the dissapointed fans aren't impressed, at all!

To be honest I like the movie because I think that, so far, they have been great adaptations from Stephanie Meyer's novels - I couldn't care less if the trio decide to stay in L.A and send video messages to the red carpet - I just want to see the Edward and Seth Versus Victoria scene... and the 'big question' :-p

So here's a toast to the new movie, not to the 'celebrities' who act in it, I'll be reviewing 'Eclipse' on here asap.
