Ann Wood Handmade

For those of you taking the bird theme to heart, Ann Wood Handmade creates handmade love bird cake toppers.
Although they are a little pricey (the above Lilly and Purcell is $240.00), each one is individually made of vintage fabrics and materials. Lilly’s dress is made of a vintage wedding gown that has become too fragile to wear, the fabric living on in your wedding topper!
Other varieties:
Pumpkin and Sebastian ($400.00)
Same Sex female Couple, Honey and Joy ($400.00):
Same sex males, Sweethearts ($375.00)
I really love all detail that goes into each one. The base of “Sweethearts” is simple yet lovely. Ann Wood has a minimalistic site full of fun and interesting birds. Ann also has a blog- very entertaining! More varieties are being added all the time, so keep your eyes peeled!

seriously, Miss Bluebell! The cute bird pair is 50% of my cake cost… Oh, to be without a budget.
Those are adorable although ridiculously expensive. 
Maybe DIY-able?
kenziekate featured these recently too i think, and coincidentally oh joy blogged about them today too. i think they’re adorable!
beautiful! thanks for sharing! I can’t imagine spending that, but I certainly appreciate the opportunity to admire, and like wsukarebear, I’m pondering the DIY possibilities.
So really, how can you DIY? I have been looking for the perfect topper (even sent these to my FI) and just cannot imagine spending that much on them!
i think we should find 24 brides who want this cake topper (I’m #1) and chip in $10 each, then pass it around! I almost wish I hadn’t seen this, because I’ll never find anything that can compare to how cute these are. Boo-hoo.
Eeeeee! Those are so cute!! I’m totally going to make something like this for my wedding cake. I forget who posted about the patch nyc cake toppers, but between those and these I have so many ideas!! I’ll send a picture and post some DIY tips for it if I actually end up making one…
My wedding’s not til november though, so it’ll probably be a while til I get to it.
sloe-eyed! - what a great idea!!! haha
although…i doubt it would work in all honesty..
i bet you won’t want to part w/ it once you see it!
they are SO cute!!!
There is a video on Martha Stewart demonstrating how to make something very similar (”needle felted chicks”).

Love it so so so much!
aww… adorable…
the needle felted chicks are just adorable as well… thanks for sharing…
They are very cute….but super expensive. I actually contacted her about making some for my wedding, and she agreed and said I could send some of my fabric to match my dress, then after I ordered the fabric and paid for it, she changed her mind and said she was no longer doing custom orders. Then I asked her if we could work on this order, since I have 11 months till my wedding, and she said no. For someone who charges that much money for two little fabric made birds, you’d think she would be a little more professional. Now I have fabric I don’t need, I am out that money, and have to come up with a new idea for my cake topper. i would definitely try to make these at home.

About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra. I'm currently living in Los Angeles, literally a street over from where I grew up with Mr. Kiwi, my honey of three years. We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
Man those things are sooo cute! I want one! Please send $400 to the Bluebell Wedding Fund!
