To Top it All Off

I hated cake toppers. It’s true. I thought they were all ugly and cheap-looking, and there was no way I was going to have one on my cake. I’m not big into monogrammed letters, either, so I wouldn’t even consider having bejeweled initials. I was resolved to use real flowers or to make something myself.

Looking back on my naive self, I can’t help but laugh. Not because I’ve changed my mind about monogrammed initials, but because I thought that’s all the wedding world had to offer when it came to cake toppers. Again, this is where I love the internet, especially Etsy, because it opens up a whole new world of opportunities. Granted, I still cringe at the majority of cake toppers (I’m picky about proportions and aesthetics, what can I say?), but there are some reeeeeeally great ones available! So many, in fact, that I’d be hard-pressed to pick a favorite. Let us explore the wonderful possibilities together. Shall we? Yes, we shall.

Love birds have been a popular choice lately, and with good reason. There are plenty of styles to choose from, too:

And of course we can’t forget the ones that feature a bride and groom customized to look like, who else, your partner and you!
