Inspiration

So I read and sometimes contribute to this online community called Weddingbee (is this really the first time I've mentioned it?!) It's composed of a bunch of brides-to-be from all over the US (and Canada, too!) and they share all the stuff about their weddings that we as readers might find helpful. There's all sorts of pictures, DIY (do it yourself) project ideas, polls, tips and other interesting tidbits that keep me giddy to read new entries! I guess you could kinda say it's the reason I started this blog - well, that and because I'm sure I was starting to annoy Jason with all this mindless wedding chatter!

Anywho, there was an entry recently from one of the bloggers (Mrs. Bee herself, actually) about this company called Patch NYC that makes custom cake toppers based on a couple, incorporating things like actual scraps from her wedding dress, or a replication of his tux style. The only problem is, they take four months to go from idea to your hot little hands. Oh, yeah, the $500 PRICE TAG might be a small hindrance, too!

While one of the readers commented that she actually did spend that much money on one, most of us either thought they were hideouly ugly or cute but not $500 cute. But one of the readers commented that she had made her own for about $25 in materials! That's more my price range.
First, the $500 offering:


Anyone here salivating? Rushing out to order one? No? Me either.








And now, for Melissa Sue's contribution:

If you click on her name, it will take you to a page with her instructions, as well as a picture of her and her future husband to show that they really do look like that :)






I smell a project - and one that could be done with other wedding-crazy friends? Of course, these are cute to have even if you don't use them for your wedding cake. Any takers? Anyone?
