With wedding cakes today becoming works of art by themselves, we are seeing a decline in brides using cake toppers. Although, we still see something sweet in them, sharing some favorites today…

This vintage cake topper was refashioned for the big day by the Mother of the Bride. She had been collecting them for many years at antique stores and on Ebay. She reworked any of the fabric that was damaged or yellowed, and even collected enough as gifts for the bridesmaids as well!

This one by Lettered Olive was done in honor of the Charleston Weddings Magazine 10 year anniversary issue.

These adorable hand painted toppers are from Lil Cake Toppers. There are cupcake size options available (think male/female versions for birthdays or showers) and customization for the wedding. She will make ones to look like you and your spouse for the big day- precious!
