Wedding cake toppers

Laura, on February 13, 2011 at 9:59 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 17

My fiancée and I are not so traditional and after hours of googling I can't seem to find a cake topper we like. I don't like the stereotypical two figures on top so I looked into the comical ones and what not. He is army so I browsed through those. I'm not a fan of purely floral toppers either. I've been tossing the idea around of getting army dog tags engraved as a surprise for him one for me and one for him to keep along with some floral. Does this seem like a good idea? Or any other suggestions?

    Dunno about your budget but there are some etsy vendors that make cake toppers and would probably do a custom order for you. I'm using annacrafts.

    she seems pretty reasonable and has sent me pictures of what she's come up with so far and I LOVE them. You can also post an "alchemy" on etsy so that vendors will sort of 'compete' and then you can try to get the best price. Good luck!

    Here are a few that I liked when searching etsy:

    Again, its really easy to ask a vendor on etsy to custom create something for you. The cake topper we were looking at for inspiration was $130 and we asked for a more simple one and it was $70 and we love it. Smiley winking

    We are going with a monogram topper. A little L and J on the sides and a bigger D in the middle for our last name.

    My FH and i are so not traditional. We opted for hand made goldfish toppers to fit with our venue, theme and that we both love fish! I dislike the 2 figurine ones as well!

    This is our topper. We were trying to find one that went with an old hollywood feel, so I got this one in black. Found it on Etsy too!

    Lol I made some cake toppers out of poured ceramic moulds, I painted them myself... I don't know if they're "The" toppers, but they're cute none the less lol.

    We are Lego fanatics, and FH is a fireman. We are doing a Lego Firetruck, with a Lego bride and fireman for our cake topper.

    Are you into Legos? I have some Army lego stuff- so I'm sure you can find something similar...

    Has be been deployed- maybe you can do coins?

    What is his MOS? Maybe you can get a recreation of his patch or something to symbolize his unit...

    What about some other hobby you two share?

    Honey is in charge but I know he wants Legos. We both love them and they were key to our childhoods.
