book page posters

Do you ever give much thought to a reception venue's walls?  They're usually pretty neutral to appeal to all brides and decor.  Of course they can be dressed up with flowers and wall hangings, but that is probably the last thing you're adding to your budget. 

Yesterday Jenifer of Gordon Gossip posted some lovely ideas using book pages.  One of them is to blow up a page of your favorite book.  It's my favorite idea in the whole wide world and I'm going to steal it for my living room.  

You can take it to a blue print shop and have them scan and enlarge your page like Susan of Freshly Picked did here. 




What would you choose? A poem, a page from a favorite book or something in another language?

I LOVE that idea!! I think a poem would look beautiful up. Or maybe both of your vows?? It would be fun to even put it up on your apartment later!

I love this. And I'm still going to blow up som B&W pics like Susan did, too....some day. When I have time. I guess when I'm retired?

Katia said...

Shana said...

These are so fun! What a great idea.

BF said...

Love it! I would pick something in another language. Then no one will sit and read it and wonder why you picked that page. How do you choose just one or two pages out of your favorite...

Bonnie said...

That is a really good idea!! I would love to choose a page from one of my favorite books or a poem that describes us as a couple. It's a cool way to keep the walls interesting.

such a great idea! I saw artwork where they took pages and highlighted/crossed out and marked a couple of old pages and then blew it up and made it that sepia yellow color. - it was pretty amazing.

Brilliant!

"How do I Love Thee" from Elizabeth Barrett Browning comes to my mind...

Or a Spanish Sonet - in Spanish, it has to be in Spanish don't make me come over there ;).

Or an excerp from a Love Letter like Count Leo Tolstoy's: "I already love in you your beauty, but I am only beginning to love in you that which is eternal and ever precious - your heart, your sould."

The choices are endless - even a Music Sheet of a favorite song...

Kyla said...

What a beautiful idea! I'm also not sure what I would put on my walls, but I can just imagine it in a beautiful mahogany library :)

liezl said...

LOL at Katia's comment :-)

What a sweet idea. Maybe I can convince Dan that we should do this with a piece of his music, maybe the piece from the wedding. How romantic!

Morgan said...

Such an amazing idea! Wish I had done that!

I'd have to blow up the sheet music to our first dance song since we are both musicians and our theme is based around sheet music. Perfect idea!
