Where did you get your cake topper?

Do you even need one?

Re: cake topper

I didn't have one - the top of my cake already had a design to it - so it would have just ruined it.
I attached a picture so you can see it. We did get the Lenox swans and as you can see we put it in front of the cake.

Re: cake topper

I ordered mine online, it's part of the circle of love collection by enesco. I'm not planning on putting it on the cake, but it will be on the table w/ the cake.

Re: cake topper

I don't think you absolutely need one. Lately I've been seeing where people aren't using them. If your going for traditional then I would say yes.

Re: cake topper

we made ours as we wanted a Star Wars cake topper (its the least i could do for my DH as he's a HUGE fan)

I don't think you have to have one if you don't want - i've seen flowers on top of the cake in lieu of a cake topper and it looks really nice.

Re: cake topper

We bought ours from theknot.com. They had a jewish bride and groom one and it was really inexpensive.

Re: cake topper

I can't decide yet what I am going to do. I am leaning towards using flowers on top of the cake or a really cute monogramed acrylic cake topper. Who knows I may do both...

here is a pic of the cake topper that I like from jean m and is $29

Re: cake topper

Mine is the same as L&M2006 but they aren't totally necessary; I got mine at the Commack Wedding Center.

Re: cake topper

i have salt and pepper shakers shaped like a groom that my great grandmother left me. we were very close. they are kind of 1950s kitschy.

Re: cake topper

We haven't bought it yet but we're thinking of the topper below. Everyone keeps telling me that I'll regret a Disney topper when I look back. I can't decide. I just don't like the toppers where the bride and groom as so skinny and perfect. That is just not me and FH.

Re: cake topper

I am going to do the monogram cake topper but I'm not sure if I will do one letter or 3 yet.

Re: cake topper

Where did you all get this topper? We have been searching everywhere for it and only ones we can find are mini anime looking ones (the only kind we don't want!)
