If you're in the final months of wedding planning, it's time to get into the small details. One of those details is the wedding cake topper. This decor element is a fairly inexpensive way to add a touch of personalisation to your day, whether it's showcasing your new married name, your initials, or an expression of your unique personalities as a couple, it can have as little or as much meaning as you want it to!
For me, this was one of the more tricky decor decisions to make, and in truth, I've not made it yet!
