Creative Wedding Cake Toppers

Cake toppers are a personal touch that really adds that extra element to your reception. Up until a few years ago, your only options were the traditional bride and groom in black and white.

Luckily, now we have a lot of choices especially for ethnic brides who are looking for something to represent their personal style.

I think I am leaning toward monograms and Justcaketoppers.com has a lot to choose from

They also have a few ethnic wedding cake toppers, like the one featured below.

Another great resource Krishna Sandhu. who I discoverd on etsy. Her shop has some really lovely hand made cake-toppers, and have not stopped forwarding the link to friends since.

Here are a few of her creations:

Unique Wedding Invitation : Cadbury anyone?

I saw this and just thought it was the cutest and most original invite I had seen in a long time.

Inspiration Board: Lovebirds

One of the initial stresses about becoming a bride to be is finding the right way to introduce the two families to each other. In our case, I had met a lot of Mr. Right's family, but he had not met any of mine.

So we are hosting a small meet and greet / engagement luncheon in a few weeks. It'll be a greaty way for everyone to meet each other and start celebrating our engagement.

Keeping in mind the setting, and the guests I started browsing through some images online to look for decorating ideas and have absolutley fallen in love with the images of lovebirds I have been seeing. The graphic can be done in many many ways, stationary, cards the list goes on but I think it's a great visual for an engagement cake.
