Blast-from-the-Past Friday: A Stellar Steampunk-Meets Mad Scientist Wedding

Donning the lovely handmade headpiece...

"We had an unofficial mad science theme, so I made the vases from two of the great mad science comic books: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Five Fists of Science.  I took the books to Staples and copied out some really good pages to use, then two friends and I spent a Saturday afternoon decoupaging them to some plain glass vases.

Since pretty much everybody at the wedding is a nerd of one kind or another, we bought a box of about a hundred random science fiction paperbacks on Ebay and printed bookmarks with the artwork* from the invitation and program for everyone to take home."
* The artist, alas, never got back to me on whether or how I should credit her, but she did a beautiful job.

 Reha, the Bride

College of Physicians was an exceptional venue for a this Steampunk Wedding.  

The Phoenixville Foundry is another perfect option chosen by this Steampunk Couple.
