With the rise in popularity of vintage-inspired weddings, it can be hard to make sure your wedding stands out from the crowd. Add something a little different to your big day with a vintage wedding cake topper to match your vintage theme. Here’s a run down of the best from fashion’s most fabulous decades.
1920s
The 1920s were all about art deco, and art deco is all about rich, bold colours, geometric lines and intricate patterns. Choose classic his-and-hers models standing under an art deco arch in black or white with a touch of gold to get a taste of that Great Gatsby opulence.
1940s
If you’re going for a 1940s style vintage wedding theme, look out for antique toppers in antique shops and auctions. You’ll often find the couples in whimsical, romantic tableaux, with the brides in feminine dresses standing below arches of flowers.
Ask your hairdresser to style your hair in victory rolls for that post-war celebratory feel and add streams of bunting to your venue and, of course, lashings of ginger beer and victoria sponge to the spread!
1960s
In the 1960s, fashion got a little bit groovy, with shorter hemlines, higher beehives and a whole palette of bright colours. Reflect this in your wedding with a cake topper to match. While toppers are traditionally in pale colours, don’t be afraid of adding colour.
Alternatively, track down some of the cute doll-like toppers that were also popular in the 1960s. These chubby-cheeked toppers resembled cherubs all dressed up in classic top hats and tails, and they will add a dash of fun to any wedding.
