I love cake toppers. My parents have their cake topper from their wedding 30 years ago proudly displayed on a shelf in their bedroom.
I have blogged before about the near impossibility of finding an interracial cake topper. So I thought these were a great option! I think they are so beautiful!
My fiance? He doesn't understand why we need a cake topper. And he isn't crazy about any of these choices.
*Pout*
We aren't really having a traditional wedding cake - just a two tiered cake on a cake stand. So maybe he's right. Maybe this would be a bit much.
Thoughts? Opinions? What are you doing for your cake topper?
Funny...if you asked me last year I would have said "100% yes, we are having a cake topper"...but now I am not so sure. I can't find any I like...and they are also SO over prices. I love the look of a cake with flower petals on it, so I think we may do that.
ReplyDeleteWith one little twist.. ;-)
We love love LOVE outr dog and James thought he would like to have his sis (very talented) make a clay version of Izzie for our cake. Is that weird to not have you on your cake and just your dog??? LMAO!
Anyway...short awnser long....no..we are not going to have a topper I think..must pretty pink roses and a cute dog
Hey soon-to-be sis. Have you thought about putting fresh flowers on the top of your cake? Just an idea.
ReplyDeleteI think they're nice and it's a nice thing to keep afterwards!
ReplyDeleteWe're using a precious moments figurine with Mickey and Minnie bride and groom ears!
I am not a fan of the classic bride/groom topper. but i did want something. we chose to have the letter "B" on top, with flower petals scattered around it.
ReplyDeletei like the figurines you posted! very pretty. since your cake it not traditional, and sounds on the smaller side. an option is to place a figurine on the cake table, next to the cake, rather than on top. you would have to do a mock-up to see if it would look nice. but that way you can have a "topper" as a sentimental piece, but you wouldn't have to put it on the cake.
keep us posted on what you decide!
awe, i looked at those cake toppers too when we were getting married. (they're kinda tall though)we ended up having to buy two cake topper couples just so i could get a black groom and a white bride ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe used little fondant people on the top of our cake. We wanted something that represented us that couldn't be bought in a store and used on anyone else's! If I'd been more creative, I would have tried to make something elegant, but instead, Lyndsy at Pastries By Design in Lakewood Ranch made a mini-me and a mini-husband as we looked on the wedding day (I'm in my dress and he's in his grey tux).
