Fall Wedding Cake Toppers

Well, I sure have been creating a lot of new Wedding Cake Toppers recently, and have listed most of them in my Etsy Shop already.  (You can click HERE to see the Wedding Cake Topper section in my shop.)  I'll be posting each of my new toppers here, on my blog, as well.  I love creating wedding cake toppers, it is such fun to 'bring to life' the ideas my customer's have for their cake toppers!  My customers are AWESOME, and I am so thankful for each one of them!!!!

Today I thought I'd start off with two toppers that are for Fall/Halloween inspired weddings, and one new Dog Topper.  I haven't had the chance to list the three of these in my shop yet, but will be listing them soon.  

First is a topper with the bride wearing 'Dorothy shoes' and the groom in a Frankenstein mask...  Maybe the couple met at a Halloween party, dressed as these characters... Or maybe this is how they will dress up for their first Halloween as a married couple...  Either way, it's a fun wedding cake topper, and I had such fun creating it.  I love how her dress is hiked, up so you can see her Red Ruby Slippers!!  Of course, every time I make a new topper, SO MANY ideas start popping into my head, inspiring many new clay creations!!  When I made this one, I thought it would be really fun to make a bride, with her dress hiked up, revealing her cowboy boots...  Hmmm, yes, that would be very cool, must make that one!

.¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥  This next topper is a Superhero themed topper... The couple's favorite Superheros are dressed in their wedding attire.  Flames are all around the Firestar Bride, and she's holding a bouquet of fire as well.  The Green Lantern Groom is holding his lantern and wearing his ring. There are a lot of different Superheros out there... So many different possibilities for wedding cake toppers...

.¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥  A Red, White and Blue Wedding... These adorable puppies are sitting on a red, heart shaped base, with their tails entwined... He has a red poppy in his mouth, looking so cute in his top hat!  She has a blue flower tucked by her ear.  Instead of a likeness of the bride and groom for a cake topper, the bride and groom's pets, or favorite animals, always make great cake toppers too!!

 

All of my wedding cake toppers are designed and hand sculpted by me, based on pictures and descriptions of hair color and style, eye color, wedding attire, etc., sent to me by my customers.  I list them in my Etsy Shop as examples of wedding cake toppers that I can create for that very special wedding day!!  They're toppers for wedding cakes, groom's cakes, and even anniversary cakes.  They are special keepsakes from such a special day, to be treasured always!  Each one, in their own unique way, represents the bride and groom... Who they are as a couple, their interests and hobbies, their pets... The possibilities for unique wedding cake toppers are endless!!!

An Autumn Walk...

As we step into October... (Oh, I just CAN'T believe it's already October, can you?) The colors are beginning to change, here in our part of Michigan, and it's so pretty!  I love driving around and taking walks this time of year, there's so much beauty to take in.  In fact, I went for a little walk around our yard today, and found all kinds of really cool things to take pictures of... Nature's inspiration!!!  I thought I'd share a few pictures here with you.  

Happy October to all!! 

 Side view of our front yard... 
And part of our long driveway that is such fun to shovel in winter! lol!

  This is the tree stump I want to make a flower planter out of... 

 We have a perfect view of it, when we look out our front window,

and I think it would be so pretty with cascading flowers 

falling all around it in the springtime!

Our Apple Tree... We sure had a lot of apples this year!

And behind it is our pear tree... Lots of pears too!

A better view of the tree stump, wouldn't it make a cool planter?

This Willow Tree in the front yard is looking a little bare already... 

Love this tree!

The Funi sure grew all over this tree stump, didn't it?!

Pampas Grass... Grows like crazy in our yard...

Mushrooms and Moss...

I think it looks so cool, how the fungi is cascading down like this...

Yes, I do believe that beauty and inspiration is ALL around!!!

I always have my camera, and my eyes open, for those shots that inspire me!

I hope these pictures have inspired you!

On a different kind of inspirational note...
