Out With "Something Old" In With "Something New"

So far, in 2010, I've shot twenty-six weddings.  At those twenty-six weddings almost 100% of those had the same cake topper.  Ahhh, the classic monogram cake topper.  Sure, we've come a long way since the "Precious Moments" toppers of the 1990's, but not far.  While the Sans Serif letter is classic and clean, they've become a bit predictable.  My friend Lea has come up with a fantasitcal idea.  Yes, mom, I know that's not a word.  So great, "Bride's" magazine was interested in running a piece on her new idea.  She takes a simple silhouette picture like one of these.....

and turns it into a custom cake topper/keepsake like one of these.....

Away with the same old same old.  This is a perfect way to capture that day that you were young and skinny.  OK, so age does not really translate, but it does wonders for your legs!  She can personalize them to suit you and your interests.  She recently cut a topper for a client that wanted to incorporate their love for beach cruisers. 

After the wedding, set out your cake topper as decoration.  It will be a permanent reminder of your big day......and how skinny you used to be.

Oh, look how cute that little baby is off to the corner.  Can't believe that little chunky monkey will be 8 on Friday!
