Cake Toppers with Character

Cake Toppers with Character

One day while trying to find something to satisfy my need for Gator Bride-ness I typed “gator bride” into Google images to see what would come up. After rummaging through several pages of images I came across a super cute image of two wood carved gators, one with a top hat and the other with a veil made by bunnywithatoolbelt over at Etsy.

They were the cutest Gator themed cake toppers I had ever seen. Only one problem arose…

Mr. Dolphin isn’t actually a gator. Ohhh, the HORROR!!!! In fact, Mr. Dolphin is a Knight. Mr. Dolphin graduated from the University of Central Florida (where the mascot is a Knight). He simply could not have himself personified as a gator atop our scrumptious wedding cake… so off I was to message bunnywithatoolbelt to see what she could come up with, and boy was I impressed…

She sent over an initial sketch for approval. Umm… how cute is this sketch?

And… voila! Our beautiful and character-iffic cake toppers!!!

Don’t you just love Miss Gator’s mini veil?

I can’t wait until these cute little toppers stand tall and proud (and did I mention cute?) on our wedding cake. Hillary at bunnywithatoolbelt was super easy to work with and did an amazing job. Be sure to check out her Etsy shop here for more handmade wedding cake toppers.

This was just another unique and super fun way to incorporate some sweet Gator lovin’ into our wedding!Are any of you planning on having your college mascots/favorite college teams represented at your wedding?

@Miss Scissors: Yah, I seriously love Bunnywithatoolbelt. I’m always trying to think up other reasons to have work made by her. I even thought of having a figurine made of our cat to sit on a lower tier of our cake… at that point Mr. Dolphin said I had gone too far. lol.
