About Mrs. French Bulldog

Editor’s Note:  Mrs. Penguin here!  I posted Miss Frenchie’s last post on her cake topper decision (since taken down) out of order, and this post was meant to precede it. My apologies!

Ever since I saw The Penguins’ cake topper, made by their friend Jenny Louwheeeeze, I’ve wanted birds on top of our cake!

I Want Birdies on My Cake too! :  wedding cake decor Mrspbir mrspbirds

The Frenchies LOVE birds! Really, what doggies don’t? Mr Frenchie calls me his birdie, and we quote that line from The Notebook all the time - “I’m a bird, if you’re a bird.”

I stalked several Etsy shops, eyeing their birdie goodness, and I decided recently it was probably about time I make a decision and order one, because if I was going to custom order some birds, I’d need to give the artist enough time for her (or his) creative process.

Since the best way to get the Mr’s opinion on something is to send him my research, I put together a Word document of all my favorites his choices and emailed it off.

Here are the birds it included…

1 - Karingrow’s Mr & Mrs Lemondrop (we could get this one, or order a custom one like it)

Well ha I know you picked 4, and it would be my top choice. But I also think that 5 is a nice alternative.

#4 does look sharp, but I’m glad that you also chose–SPOILER ALERT!–#7. They’re so round and cute…like penguins ;)

I think you went with #4, because the suit matches Mr. Frenchie’s. but I think maybe #7 was a possibility :)

All really cute — but I especially love the flower headpiece and adorable pink leaf accents on and around #3!

Again, very cute idea! I like #’s 4 or 7. It would be hard for me to decide between them and it would probably come down to which one is cheaper so I would say #7.

My fiance and I went with Red Light Studio and loved working with her! The service was great, she completely customized them (flower in my hair, skinny Tiffany blue tie on the groom) and I even got a pretty little pair of thank you earrings with the final product!
They are all adorable though!
Can’t wait to hear which you picked!
