Unusual Wedding Cake Toppers

Wedding cake toppers provide the extra special touch to a couple’s big day.

Some couples show the sentiment behind their love story with a digital photo frame showcasing their special moments. Other couples choose to honor their parents or grandparents by giving the older couple’s vintage wedding cake toppers the place of honor. A new base is usually all that is required unless some confectionary repair work is needed. 

Hitting neighborhood garage sales or flea markets are a great source for finding cheap porcelain figurines like animals or dancing couples.  Again, when cleaned up and with a new base they can provide romance or fancy at lower prices.

To keep a youthful spirit childhood toys, like rubber duckies and monkey sock puppets, wispy haired trolls and cute teddy bears, can be turned into fun reflections of the couple’s contagious sense of humor. Some raid a kid’s toy box or better yet ask a junior Picasso to create a cake topper through several handfuls of colorful Legos.

For weddings melding two families into one unit a group Russian nesting dolls can represent every family member.  Not every doll has to wear a painted floral patterned babushka. Robot, ninja and even Russian political nesting dolls are also available.

Depending on the wedding cake’s size sport fanatics can place sporting goods, from a ping pong to a volley ball, atop the cake. Regardless of the cake’s layers custom made bobble head dolls, ordered online, become whimsical wedding cake toppers for any confectionary creation.

Other custom cake toppers include origami, fashioned into fanciful shapes such as stars or flowers in varying patterns. Glass artisans can create unique toppers that can be used later as a beloved Christmas tree ornament.

 

Like the ceremony and reception - a cake topper demonstrates a couple’s individual style.
