Hi Ladies,

I am getting married one week from today! I decided to tackle only one DIY project for the wedding, so I made a custom wedding cake topper. It took a very long time due to the intricate details, but I am happy with how it turned out.

I was inspired by Ann Wood, an artist who creates amazing fabric birds and creatures (she has a great website). My lovebirds are made out of satin and stuffing, with wire-covered clay legs and beaks. I added a veil, beading and a tiny top hat for details. The base is a ribbon-covered styrofoam cake round, and all of the flowers are vintage millinery flowers.

Here are some photos of the cake topper. Enjoy!

That is so cute, congratulations and good luck for next week!! :D :D :D

How darling!! :D What a wonderful
job you have done making this
cake topper. It couldn't be cuter.
Have a HAPPY WEDDING.
:D :D :D

Now that is just one darned cute pair of love birds.

Wishing the real life pair much happiness!!
