Erin-Joy Jarvis (27 and a hospital clerk) and Neil Quinn (33 and an athletics and recreation facilitator for Lakehead University) share a love for fall and reading, so they decided to combine the two for their wedding in Orillia, Ontario. Their wedding had a classic fall palette with oranges, yellows and reds, and books were everywhere, from the reception table centerpieces to their ceremony arch. Pumpkins and squashes were also spread throughout the decor, which brought a rustic touch to the fall-inspired decor. A standout detail? The handmade bouquets! "The bouquets and boutonnieres were roses I made from the pages of old books, brooches scoured from local antique stores, burlap and lace," Erin-Joy says.
