Wedding Cake Toppers: Cute or Tacky?

wedding5

Apart from the fact that I’d burnt a huge hole in my dress an hour before Stephanie and Addison’s wedding, to me, their reception was a major success! The beautiful bride wore 4 amazing dresses, the groom seemed to keep it together quite well, as did the bride, everything was very well-organized, and we all had a blast! I really loved that they showed a video of the couple’s morning and the church ceremony for those of us that missed it. Congratulation, Stephanie! I wish you and your new hubby an ocean of love and happiness together!

For a few of my other friends that are getting married quite soon, these few finds on Etsy might be of interest to you! As well as to any wedding guests that want to make a personal gift to the newlyweds! These wedding cake toppers are adorable, sometimes cringe-worthy, and at times scary, but I think they are worth a look.

About a year ago, I attended a wedding in which the couple had bobbleheads made to resemble themselves on top of their cake. As a sort of The Office tribute, I thought the idea was totally cute! So for those of you that are looking for cake toppers, the ones below are all from Etsy and range from about $50 to $200, depending on the level of customization. Some sellers will take care of the smallest details to ensure that your topper meets your high expectations, and most ship internationally. Next wedding is in about a month, so Jo, you still have time to get one of you and Gabe made on Etsy! I think your figurine should be trying on a shoe, while Gabe is buried in a pile of shoes with only his head sticking out. What do you think?
