Milton H. Latter Library in New Orleans
Jack and I are nerdtastic sorts of people and we love to read. Love it so much that a fun night out would consist of deep dish pizza from Pequod's and a hop across the street to our local Barnes and Noble for a latte and a good read to finish the night. So incorporating our favorite past-time into our wedding celebration sounds like a good thing, no? We totally jumped on the library themed wedding bandwagon but at the same time we are hoping we can convey subtlety and nuance and give it our own sense of style. Here's hoping.
It helps if you are actually getting married in a library for starters. I had an imaginary meeting of minds with SJP's character Carrie from SATC -TM when she commented on how much she loved the smell of library books. Libraries have their own sense of mystery and elegance and I think they make wonderful venues; especially one's rich in history that offer architectural delights to boot. We are thrilled to have finally booked our reception site at the beautiful Milton H. Latter Memorial Library and we can't wait to celebrate our wedding at this gorgeous historic venue (NOTE: Our wedding venue changed. We still love the theme though!!!)

I'm currently focused on finding inspiration for a library themed invitation set. Speaking of which, Kathryn over at Snippet & Ink has been a wonderful wedding design source and her inspiration boards provide all the eye candle you could possibly handle. Kathryn's board #164 aptly titled "Erudite Elegance" seems like a good place to start:
I love the idea of having the library theme carry into the stationary set. Use the Dewey decimal system from Speak Quietly:
Or use a book as an invite with a bookmark showing you the invitation hidden inside from Sesame Letterpress:
