Vintage Cake Topper Ideas

Lisa, on March 26, 2020 at 6:12 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 12

Hi Everyone,


We are trying to do a subtle vintage theme and we can't seem to find a cake topper that we like. FH really likes the ones of people, but we can't find 'the one'. We thought about having something made, but they are upwards of $200!! I've searched everywhere, including Etsy and all the wedding sites that pop-up when you google Vintage Wedding Cake Toppers. Any suggestions on what to do or where else to look?


Thank you!

    Maybe this can be good for something at a thrift store? whenever you get the chance after the pandemic orders are eased, thrift stores would likely have some vintage looking cake toppers.

    I didn't think of that... good idea. Right after I hit send, I thought about 'love birds'. Both of FH's grandmothers loved birds (cute, subtle way to include them) and it goes with our theme and color scheme.

    We wanted one that was vintage looking too. We found this one on Amazon and we loved it. Now that our wedding is done we have it in the china cabinet!

    I found this one on Amazon. I was having a lot of trouble finding a topper that wasn't problematic in some cultural way or one that was just over the top. I think this one is classic and timeless c:

    And I only spent $45 Smiley laugh

    I agree with pp that once life "returns to normal" I'd check your local thrift and/or antique shops. Years ago for my parents' 50th anniversary I wanted to find a late-1940s bride & groom topper to replace their original one that was destroyed in an earthquake. I searched thrift stores and smaller resale antique shops and I found several that way. They were typically pretty inexpensive. Good luck!

    I think we'll shop around when that time comes and hopefully find something! If not, I think we'll do teal 'love birds'. Thank you!

    I'm in love with those teal love birds. They are classic, retro and totally something you could use as decor in your home that doesn't scream wedding to anyone but y'all.
