Do you have to have a cake topper?

We're just doing fresh flowers on top.

I found one on etsy.com, they are super cute http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25830026&ref=sr_gallery_9&&ga_search_query=bear cake topper&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

I haven't found any I really like either so I'm planning on using flowers on top.

I got one for $5 on clearance at party city. Its not the best but my mom got it for me just in case I never find one that I liked better

Check out www.weddingstar.com they have some really unique ones! soo pretty! they range in price. i cant do the picture thing on here. they have wide range in prices

We are doing pies rather then a cake...so not going to have one anyways. But even if we did have a cake...I prolly would have skipped it anyways.

We're getting ours from www.orientaltrading.com. They do personalizations and their prices are very reasonable. They also have a full line of decorations and favors, a lot of those that can be personalized as well.

We are using the pedestals from cakes kissed by light from the knock shoppe.(the celestial collection) So we're not using any cake topper, maybe some flowers around the bottom. I've look at a lot of cake toppers and none of them seem to fit my wedding style.

Its strictly your choice, however if you want a cake topper of a bride and groom that is worth every dime - check out Renellie - detailed and really beautiful. Make sure that the flowers (if fresh) are edible and double check with the baker on what you can use.

If you like any of the wire or metal monograms, you could dress it up with a few flower buds depending on what flowers you are using. I've seen the monograms for a few dollars at places like Micheal's and Hobby Lobby

My FH made ours.. he suprised me with it one day.. and it beautful and means so much since it came from him.. I was in the same boat you were though on looking at some that I could afford and not liking them at all and the ones I did like were way to expensive so I am glad he did that for me

This is mine I got it for 18.95 CAD

We are doing cupcakes so we don't need one, but I found one (etsy I think) that is a bride dragging the groom who is reaching for a football helmet with the Dallas Cowboy star on it. It will be a surprise for him, as well as the cowboy garter!

My cake will look like Christmas presents with a giant bow on top instead of a topper. I found a picture of a similar cake that used bride and groom Pez dispensers in front of the cake but I don't think I'll go that route.

I did originally want a crystal cake topper but now I'm not sure. I may just go with fresh flowers on top. I've seen so many cakes with flowers on top and they look great!!

How about a bow made of fondant

Well my cake topper smashed b/c it wasn't put on right and someone hit the cake table and it fell off and it was replaced by fresh flowers

The cake toppers at https://honeyandcrisp.com are gorgeous, and they do customized toppers!
