@Julie I LOVE Nightmare – I saw it like 7 plus times in the theater, and I hate going to the movies (can’t sit still). But I sat for that. I love the last toppers, the girl who made it did a fantastic job.

@Peggy did you go see the others? It was hard to choose just one to show here, because really I liked all her work. I’ll check out that etsy link.

@Diana – welcome to tree hugging family. And yes, we always push actual edible flowers here – poison just has that way of ruining special occasions.

I had a friend who was obsessed with PeeWee, he’d have loved your wedding topper idea. Your cake sounds great!

We had flowers on our wedding cake almost 20 years ago. Just make sure the’re edible flowers, you don’t want to poison the wedding guests! There are lots of edible flowers including roses, nasturtiums and violets. I really wanted to put little action figures on our cake. I found the PeeWee Herman action figure but alas, Miss Yvonne was not to be found. We do have great pictures of a swallowtail butterfly on the flowers while we’re cutting our yummy lemon blueberry poundcake with buttercream frosting (obviously an outdoor wedding.)

How cute! I love the bird couple. It’s just too adorable. There are also some cute birds made out of recycled materials (like stamps or maps) on Etsy:

That last picture reminds me of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Something I’d totally do on my wedding cake.

I love the edible plants idea. Candied flowers are easy to make, too.

Our wedding was almost as green as you can get, we went to the courthouse. The planned wedding wouldn’t have been green, but the end result was a justice of the peace because we didn’t want to wait any longer.
