These days, weddings have become a place to showcase a couple’s unique love story. Modern couples are moving away from cookie-cutter weddings and embracing details that reflect their personalities, hobbies, shared memories, and favorite traditions. Every detail — from tablescapes to attire to desserts — has become an opportunity for self-expression through personalized wedding décor and meaningful handmade touches.
Turning Handmade Ornaments Into Wedding Cake Toppers
It all started when we were filming pieces from our wedding collection and realized we had to try adorning a cake with our felt cuties. Every time we placed a different handmade ornament on top, we squealed with delight. “Why don’t we do this more?” was said more than once.
The more we experimented, the more we fell in love with the idea of using handcrafted ornaments as unique wedding cake toppers. They instantly added charm, personality, texture, and whimsy in a way that felt artistic and deeply personal. Whether your wedding style is cottagecore, modern romantic, boho, woodland-inspired, or colorful and eclectic, felt ornaments can become a playful and meaningful part of your wedding décor.
How to Use Ornaments as Cake Toppers
Using ornaments as wedding cake toppers is surprisingly simple. All you need is a pin or needle and a small piece of plastic wrap or food-safe plastic. Stick the pin through the bottom of the ornament, through the plastic, and gently into the cake. The plastic creates a barrier between the cake and the wool, helping keep your handmade ornament clean so you can continue enjoying it long after your wedding day.
A Wedding Keepsake You’ll Treasure for Years
A wedding day goes by quickly, but meaningful keepsakes help couples revisit those joyful moments for years to come. Unlike traditional wedding cake toppers, handmade ornaments become lasting keepsakes after the celebration ends. Couples can hang them on their holiday tree each year, display them at home year-round, or incorporate them into anniversary traditions.
We love the idea that something used for just a few sweet moments during the wedding can become part of your story for years to come — a handcrafted keepsake filled with memories of your special day.
Choosing a Wedding Cake Topper That Reflects Your Personality
There are so many ways to choose a wedding cake topper that feels personal to your relationship. You can select an ornament inspired by where you met, choose animals or symbols meaningful to your story, or lean into your wedding’s color palette and theme. Personalized wedding accessories like these help create a celebration that feels uniquely yours.
