Library Wedding Inspiration: Venues

I don't know about you, but when I think about a library wedding, one of the first scenes I think of is from the Sex and the City movie, where Carrie is in her gorgeous Vivienne Westwood gown surrounded by her friends walking through the New York Public Library.

So I thought I'd find some beautiful library venues perfect for a book inspired wedding.

And why not start with the gorgeous New York Public Library?

I love the look of the Boston Public Library. One time when I was traveling for business, I got the chance to go to Boston. I walked down the street and there was the library. It just has this wonderful commanding presence, even in the snow.

The Boston Public Library also has a great courtyard area with beautiful archways.

I have a friend who is getting married in a few weeks at the Richard Nixon Library in Orange County, so I couldn't help but think of this lovely venue.

And gorgeous library wedding venues aren't just in New York, Boston, and California. These next two photos are from the James J. Hill Library in St. Paul, Minnesota.
