Wedding Cake Toppers
categories: cakes and sweets, reception ideas

Cake toppers range from completely boring to downright odd. When I see boring cake toppers, I think that the couple must have run out of time to find something more interesting and when I see the odd cake topper (please do not mistake odd for ugly), I assume there is a story behind it. It’s a couple’s inside joke on display. Right there on top of their cake. For all their guests to ponder.

With that being said, I thought I could share with you some of the fun, silly, adorable, and stylish cake toppers available to you. Most of these are found on Etsy so if you do not know about this genius site yet, shake hands and prepare to shop!

 The LOVE Sculpture is a familiar sight, but not quite like this! How fun to have your very own (custom color matched) LOVE sculpture.

 Work the “lovebird” angle. You can go stylish and a bit modern with something like this

Or a tad more subdued but still sweet with this pair:

If you are going to stick with me on this post, realize that we might share a chuckle. Agreed? This topper is not for everyone, that’s for sure, but I now admit to you that my brother (by blood) might get married all over again just so he could have Mr and Mrs Roboto on top of his cake. (To see what else I will admit to, click here)

There are some uber-crafty people out there. I am not one of them, but this is the kind of stuff they generously offer to the world: send in a picture of you and your love and they will create a spot on likeness . That’s taking “personalizing your wedding” to a whole new level.

Oh, the things you can do with paper (and many other tools, I am sure). I really really love this topper. It’s simple and elegant without being boring. Not to gush too much about RS but this reminds me of the paper projects created by Real Simple paper constructionist Matthew Sporzynski.

I love these little sweetie pie birds that are made from wire, cotton and dupioni silk.

And for the Grand Finale, I give you…PEACOCKS and LOBSTERS! People do get married at zoos you know. And animals need love too. And these reflect the pure joy of their creator which goes a long way. Can you tell I was delighted by these toppers? They just scream fun and I have to appreciate that.

 Let’s see, I promised: fun, silly, adorable and stylish. I think I completed today’s mission!

Oh, and here’s an Etsy video to get you even more excited!
