Etsy.com is a fabulous place to search for wedding toppers. If you're not familiar with Etsy, it's a website where you can purchase handmade or vintage items. You can search by region, so you can buy locally. You have to register before you purchase an item, but it's fairly easy. Click here to learn more.
A handmade or vintage cake topper means you're not going to see your cake topper at any other weddings you may attend. Check out this fall couple sold by EnchantedYou54449 for $99.99 or these adorable love birds sold by CountrySquirrelsRUS for $39.00.
The Small Object offers custom clothespin people wedding toppers. These cute brides and grooms come on a round stand. You can customize skin color, hair color, clothing color and even the bouquet color. They are $135.00 and the website suggests you order 3-4 months in advance.
Little people aren't your thing? How about wedding bells? This topper by Martha Stewart is only $12.00! If you are Christians, perhaps a decorative cross might be a good wedding cake topper for you. This one from Amazon.com is just $9.99. Did you meet at the park? Find a doll house size park bench to perch on your wedding cake. For a winter wedding, this beautiful snowflake from Marilyn's Keepsakes would be lovely (allow 6-12 weeks for delivery).
If you're crafty, you could make your own wedding cake topper. Origami or a sculpture would be so pretty and meaningful. Try searching for things that aren't labeled "wedding". This will save you so much money, and ensure a unique wedding cake topper. If you want to keep it simple you could stick with ribbons and flowers that match your dress or bouquet.
