Everyone loves a great floral centerpiece, but there are many other creative ways to decorate your table top. While browsing on Pinterest, I came across this wonderful idea to incorporate books into centerpieces to create a vintage romantic look. Â From table number holders to cute potted creations, antique books can add that special touch to your wedding decor. Best of all, you can DIY many of these book centerpieces yourself!
Beautiful Book Centerpieces You Can Create Yourself
Centerpiece book decor can be as simple as stacking a few pretty antique books together and topping off with a simple flower arrangement. Or if you’re a little craftier, you can fasten numbers to a book cover with screws for cute table number holders.

I particularly love this idea of hollowing out a book to create this romantic look of flowers and succulents spilling out of the pages.

Sweet and quirky, you can easily make these antique book pop-up table numbers  by carefully cutting out letters with a box cutter, but leaving the bottoms attached.
And sometimes book centerpieces  can be as simple as stacking a few antique books together and tying them with a little burlap and lace. Source: Offbeat Bride | Hochzeitswahn De

Book folding is a real art! Create 3 dimensional sculptures of shapes and letters by folding the individual pages of the book.
