it’s a 3 layer cake and the bottom part is the sheet cake is that a good thing to do the bride/groom cake on top of that!?
I think the details in one’s wedding are such fun. Everything about your personality and your fiance’s personality come out in all the little things, from the invitations to the cake toppers. With that being said…The Tour de France is starting on Saturday! (Go Garmin and Astana–and Lance!) . So what does this have to do with my wedding? Nothing, except that Mr. Charleston and I are huge cycling fans (more him than me—he’s the one who actually rides with a group every week) and I wanted to incorporate his love for bikes and cycling into our wedding somehow. One of my students did our save the dates:I loved it so much (as did Mr. Charleston) that I wanted to make the graphic of the girl and boy on the bike our cake topper. Since I have done most of the big things (venues, dj, photog, etc) I am now working on all the details, like cake toppers and centerpieces. I found this awesome vendor on Etsy, Mountainbrook, who makes these awesome wood silhouette cutouts. I sent him a picture and he made our cake topper for us! Here is what it looks like:It came a few weeks ago. It looks super great and I cannot wait to see it on top of a cake! Now all I have to do is find a cake! So what are your details? I have had friends who have done D.C. totes since they were DC natives. Some have organized “DC Food Stops” for a wedding weekend where did they a tour of fun dc eateries like Ben’s Chili Bowl, Five Guys, and Art and Soul. One idea that someone had was serving their mom’s chocolate chip cookies and milk during the cocktail reception. I think anything that you can do to really make the day special is worth the extra effort. Good luck with all the planning! Oh, and have a happy 4th of July weekend! Have fun and be safe:-)

Hi everyone!
My fi and I are both game nerds and love a game called maplestory. Well we’ve been discussing it and both thought it would amazing to have our game characters as our toppers (since it’s a real time RPG game, and we actually had our characters get married in the game!)
I’m having a LOT of trouble finding a place to order these. The ones that make cartoonish ones don’t look very professional…
Ive been looking at those clay figures that are made of people to go on top of their wedding cake, it is almost a replica of the couple but out of hard mold-able clay, any suggestions of where to get them?

I’m having a teal, beach theme type wedding on a cruise ship, but I am having a lot of trouble picking a cake topper.
I bought this one, the groom reminds me of my fiance (but the bride doesn’t look like me): http://westaussiewedding.typepad.com/.a/6a00e554a1ee588834011279133b6528a4-320wi
But I like these two:

Wedding cake toppers provide the final finishing touch to wedding cakes and for many brides their choice of topper is a personal one. You will find many choices available when it comes to toppers and your wedding cake designer should be able to guide you to the best choice in terms of the style and decoration of your wedding cake and the style of your wedding.
Here are just a few of the choices available to your for your cake topper:
Flowers are possibly the most popular choice and the cheapest. It is often the case that your florist will throw in small wired flowers for your wedding cake for free when you purchase all your other floral requirements from them.
Sugar flowers are another popular alternative to fresh ones, however, these can be very expensive and you could need a lot to decorate your cake, as you would often include flowers on the other tiers as well as on the top.
Just make sure that the flowers you use on your cake match those used in the rest of your floral decorations and your bouquets. A cake covered in exotic orchids will look odd if the rest of your flowers are roses and stocks.
Monogram cake toppers are the newest kids on the block and are fast becoming a popular choice. They are available in brushed metal and clear plastic versions and can include embellishments such as crystals. For a wedding cake it is customary to use three letters - the brides initial, the grooms initial and your surname initial in the center. An alternative option is to use two letters representing your intials, some couples also choose to add the ‘&’ symbol as well in the center.
Traditional cake toppers are figurines of the bride and groom standing proud on the top of the cake. In recent years there has been many whimsical variations on this which include figurines of the bride dragging the groom; the groom carrying the bride and versions which have the groom climbing up the cake tiers.
For many the traditional topper is still king and some even use their parents cake topper on their wedding cake which makes a lovely gesture and can count towards the bride’s ’something borrowed’ or ’something old’.
