Wedding Cake Toppers

Wedding gifts and decorations

Kate Elford — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:40:21 +0000

I took a quick trip to Dunster this week, to visit my favourite shop in the world.
It is full of lovely gift and home ideas and is beautifully presented. This time I noticed a lovely display of wedding things. There is a lovely selection of ideas and helpful advice is there if needed about quantities and colours etc.

If you can’t make it to Dunster they also have a website – www.the5quarters.com

”The 5 Quarters is a family run business shop based in the picturesque village of Dunster in Somerset. We have been welcoming our valued customers to the shop since Dec 2004 when we first opened.

Our aim is to bring magic, joy love into people’s lives by sourcing beautiful gifts for you, your home or a present for someone special.
Why is the shop called The 5 Quarters?

Our philosophy lies within the beauty magic found in nature, her elements, seasons cycles. Based on an ancient system, the Wheel of the Year journeys through Air, Fire, Water, Earth Spirit, the 5th element. By re-acquainting ourselves with the elements, we begin to become more conscious of the natural world, which can help bring balance harmony into our busy modern lives.

We have carefully sourced items that represent reflect the qualities of each element, in particular our range of crystals fossils, either in their natural form or set in sterling silver jewellery. ”

Dunster as a whole is a wonderful place to visit and is now a place to consider for your wedding, from the planning to the actual day. My photos don’t really do it justice so I would recommend a visit to see for yourself.

Lovely photos by SueJay photography

This isn’t a wedding related post, unless you want to buy someone a very lovely wedding gift!
Its just to tell you about a photographer I met recently, Sue Gutteridge.
What amazed me the most was her ability to capture animals so well,
especially deer, the shots are so lovely. My personal favourite is the smiling donkeys.

There is a selection on the website – www.suejayphotography.com,
and if you get a chance its well worth visiting Sue at one of the exhibitions she will be attending.

Will keep you posted with other lovely work I have recently found : )

New Year and New Cake Toppers

Kate Elford — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 14:53:42 +0000

Well the new years resolution was to blog more, which as it’s now February and this is my first one, I’m not doing so well. The good news is I haven’t had chance to because of all the cake toppers being made for 2013 weddings already, which is fantastic. Most months are nearly booked up already, which is very exciting with some great ideas ready to be made.

If you would like to book for 2013 I would recommended booking asap so you don’t miss out, and bookings are coming in now for 2014 as well.

A belated happy new year!

Christmas is coming!

Kate Elford — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 18:11:29 +0000

I know it’s a bit early but things are appearing in the shops and the ‘C’ word is getting mentioned more and more.

Toppers are a great gift idea for someone special, an ornament of the kids, babies first Christmas, a special pet replica.

Why not treat someone you love to an extra special gift this year x

A Topper Can Be Just The Start

Kate Elford — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:25:41 +0000

Cakes can be decorated in so many ways, and it doesn’t have to stop with just a topper on the top, you can add whatever you like to it, so it is just a part of something creative.

Here are some photos of toppers on cakes with a little bit of something extra. Little wired hearts in the black and white Newcastle wedding theme are a great addition to the cake on the left. Then there is a lovely use of artificial flowers on the forces cake topper, all in the colour scheme and in a really simple way, it looks really pretty. For the sheep topper fresh flowers have been used which compliment the animal theme perfectly. Finally for the Gretna Green topper diamante initials have been added behind the topper, which is really eye catching, and adds some extra sparkle and height.

All of these ideas are great and something that can be added by you to top off your cake perfectly.

All toppers featured are from – www.wedding-cake-toppers.co.uk
