Wishing my blogland friend Crystal from Vintage by Crystal a glorious wedding day today! At her request I made her a cake topper to grace one of the cakes that she will have at her celebration.
She told me her wedding colors and I went to town. I pulled out old flowers from my stash and an old cake topper base. A couple of spun heads and old crepe paper were transformed into a happy couple. Ben has a beard and moustache which could only be crafted from a pipe cleaner!
I hope you have an amazing day Crystal. Congrats and many happy years to you and Ben!
Simply gorgeous. I love the colors and all the vintage charm. What a wonderful keepsake of such a wonderful day! Congrats...Renee

I am in love with this little couple -- what a wonderful memento she'll have forever. Did you tuck in a note explaining who made it and why? You know, for the person who comes across it a hundred years form now. :-)

How special and exciting! I made a cake topper for my best friend's wedding too. I didn't even mean for it to be. I made a couple for her shower and she said, "That's my cake topper!"
Isn't it wonderful to think she'll have it forever and pass it down through generations to come?!

I knew Crystal's wedding date was approaching, but I didn't know the exact date. I loved her recent blog posts of some of the wedding decorations, etc. I can't wait to see her pictures. I'm sure she was a beautiful bride, as she is so pretty. I love your handmade cake topper - adorable (as usual)! Carol
