Cake Topping Questions

Alexis, on June 24, 2021 at 2:24 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 11

Hey all,

I've been in the midst of a large, almost year-long hunt for a good cake topper. This is something that you can keep for a while (hopefully) and is literally on top of something that draws attention from guests! That being said, I CANNOT find anything that seems like a great wedding cake topper for my wedding. We are going for a kind of nature feel (at a botanical garden) and are open to cake toppers that show our unique style. However, all the toppers I find are just not hitting the mark for me. I also don't like the toppers that go for humor - think the toppers with the bride dragging the groom to the altar. (If that's your kind of thing, no shade. It's just not mine. Smiley smile )

Anywho, if anyone has some recommendations of companies, websites, or solutions I would really appreciate it.

    Flowers or greenery from your florist? If you want a collectible you can browse Etsy but those tend to be completely personal taste.

    Like Michelle suggested, Etsy might have some options!

    I like the florist idea as well. I know there's some companies where you can send the flowers you used on your wedding day and a photo of how they were styled, and they encase them in resin!

    I second (third?) Esty. Probably not what you are looking for, but we are getting a silhouette of us facing each other, reading books over each other's shoulders, and out cats at our feet from an Etsy seller.

    I just ordered ours on Etsy. He's a lineman, so this is perfect for us.

    Wow, that is legit specific, haha, there honestly is something for every possible scenario on etsy. It looks great, by the way, I love how personal it is!

    Alexis, another vote for etsy.

    Here are some cute toppers that have botanical themes. I put the links below each one.

    This is the one thing I'm DIY'ing. I got the font from our invitation, FH 3D printed our last name initial! I'm going to sand it and spray glitter paint it. I'm pretty excited about it! I got the inspiration from Etsy, tons of options there!

    Do you need a cake topper?

    If your cake is aesthetically pleasing, I don't see why some sort of ornament on top of the cake is needed. Our cake was decorated with fresh flowers from our florist and when with our spring nature vibe. Totally fine to have one if you want, but they aren't really necessary IMO.

    I found a Lenox bride and groom on Poshmark. Hopefully it comes without damage! If not, some florals or flowers made of icing up top.

    Not using the bride and groom topper. Bakery suggested using flowers and greenery and he will put our initials on the middle tier. Loved his idea better and went with that.
