Planning - About Vintage Cake Toppers Many couples nowadays go for vintage cake toppers for many good reasons. You will love how you can continue tradition within the family when you can use your ancestors' wedding cake toppers. This is, of course, assuming that your family has passed down vintage wedding cake toppers from one generation to the next, which often means that one in the family is either a sentimentalist or a pack rat. And then there is the appeal of vintage things since these hark back to a more innocent time when indeed marriage was an institution that both parties took great measures to protect and preserve, thanks to societal pressure even when divorce laws were already present. After all, there is no harm in hoping that your marriage will last like the marriages of the olden days! Of course, you will love the look of the vintage cake toppers especially the ones where the groom and bride are locked in a romantic pose. It certainly beats the less-then-romantic theme of modern-day toppers. Choosing the Vintage Cake Topper When choosing from among many vintage wedding cake toppers, it is best to remember that you may not get what you want immediately. After all, a true-blue vintage cake topper can be hard to find, much less purchase especially if it is another individual's family heirloom. Still, it will not hurt to scour the Internet for these valued items especially the auction sites. You may even join online groups that love to swap vintage items so as to track down the cake topper that you saw on your great-grandmother's wedding day pictures. You should also look into flea markets and garage sales. You never know what treasures you can find amongst another person's junk. Anyways, the most common of all vintage wedding cake toppers are the bride and groom figurines. Take note, however, that the colored bride and groom sets were not available before the 1950s and the 1960s mainly because of the race issues being hotly debated then. If you are looking for truly collectible cake toppers,
look to Europe particularly Germany for inspiration. You can find 1920s
Kewpie couples and German bisque figurines, 1930s Bakelite couples,
and 1940s porcelain figurines, almost all of which feature bide and
groom locked forever in Indeed, if
you wish to bring back the old traditions into the modern way of
weddings, then vintage wedding cake toppers
are one of the better ways
to go. Think of them as the "something old" in the old rhyme
about brides. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
