But those are pretty girly, right? And after painting our DIY save the dates, invites, and out-of-town bags, I have retired my painting supplies.

We are both big science lovers (remember, we’re engineers!), and we thought it would be really cool to place a tiny portrait of a well-known, influential scientist on each table in lieu of table numbers. I envisioned something like this (but substitute a black-and-white portrait of a scientist for the herb drawing):
I don’t know how it happened, but somehow I fell into the milk glass wedding trend. I didn’t even know what milk glass was a year ago, and now I have quite the collection of it gathering dust on top of my bookshelves and kitchen cabinets until our spring wedding.

But you had never heard of them just months earlier.
