Swarovski Butterfly Cake Topper

sari — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 01:44:11 +0000

This butterfly is a great use of the orange toned colors. The Hyacinth added to the Topaz (burnt orange) and Sun (vibrant orange) gives it a fiery vibrancy. When I do custom shapes, I like to use the colors that represent how they’d be found in nature. With a butterfly, pretty much anything goes, but this is especially good to keep in mind for other shapes that are customary to one color scheme.

If you are looking for a Swarovski cake topper and already have a pre-designed logo, send me what you have! I can work with many different formats (including PDF and JPG). More often than not, it can be made into a crystal cake topper!

Harley Davidson Cake Topper

sari — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 00:00:46 +0000

While I can’t turn an image as intricate as a motorcycle into a Swarovski cake topper, which is requested a lot, there is usually an alternative cake topper idea for every theme! The bar and shield emblem is specific enough to the Harley-Davidson brand that it works well AND it allows for a letter to be added. I am always in favor of this kind of unique personalization.

Now Available: Scatter Crystals

My home page receives a lot of compliments and inquiries. I have deduced that it is largely in part to the crystals that are scattered around the letter. What isn’t visible in the picture is the fact that the crystals are the same flat-backed stones that I use to cover my crystal cake toppers and crystal server sets which had to be flipped over by hand, one by one, for the photograph.

What if you didn’t have to flip them over? What if they looked like perfectly cut 3-D diamonds!? Voila: an addition to my product line is born. As the picture below shows, they are only available in “Crystal”. The colored stones are not being made at this time.

I ordered a bunch of sizes and came up with the best looking mixture, which includes 3 sizes ranging from 1/2″ to 3/8″ diameter. I have only begun to play around with the stones and they are MAGICAL. A little goes a long way or you can cluster them together for a very rich, over-the-top look. They are Swarovski so they sparkle like mad and they can be added anywhere: to tiers of the actual cake, the cake table, the sign-in table, gift table, between table settings, surrounding unity candles… I can go on and on.

If there is enough interest I will be adding them to the Accessories page and Order form but for now, please contact me if you would like to know more about pricing and the quantity they are sold in.

Another Great Photo Idea

How cute is this!? Had to share the idea… (thanks Nicole!)

Wedding Rings on "L" Topper

The colors of this crystal cake topper were diligently selected to match a sea foam green pillow case that was used as the inspiration in devising the perfect color palette for this event. I was shocked to receive the actual pillow case in the mail and while I don’t recommend mailing me your furnishings, I also have a “whatever works” mentality towards getting everything perfect for your big day.

A “Touching” Picture

Sorry for the pun but I truly thought this picture was a great idea. It came out great! Thought some of you other brides would benefit from seeing it. This particular monogram cake topper was a 4″. This is worth mentioning since I often get asked for pictures of 4″ letters on their wedding cakes. This is one of the few I have!

Crystal Cake Topper with Partial Coverage

I don’t do as many partially covered monograms but with the right font choice, they come out really well. Most people have a “the more, the merrier” attitude when picking out their Swarovski cake topper, but this is to show that sometimes less can be more. Choosing the fuller curvier fonts is key!

A warmer shimmer for your “crystal” cake topper

sari — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 01:51:44 +0000

A good way to maximize sparkle with a warmer color palette of browns and earth tones, where the stark “whiteness” of Crystal may not blend in as well, is to consider using “Silk” instead. Silk is softer - the whiteness is toned down but it still catches a lot of light. It’s tough to tell Silk from Crystal in a photograph so you are going to accomplish a neutral look regardless but Silk may “go” with your other decor better than Crystal would.

Peacock feather colors

One thing Swarovski colors exude is vibrance. There are a great selection of colors to choose from when trying to tie in with a peacock theme. The outcome is shown here:

Crystal feathers in the same colors can also be used on other areas of the cake, as “cake jewelry” for the cake tiers.
