Many couples view symbols as their bond to each other, like the infinity symbol; representing no end, just like your vows to one another.
A Significant Phrase, AKA: The Hashtag
Often times in society we see hashtags as a descriptions to a key moment. Place your wedding hashtag at one place where you’re sure everyone will look. The top of the cake! Whether it’s cut out of metal, customized to you, or painted on a plaque.

Cupcake Cake Toppers
Why not! Cupcakes are the perfect size for your guests to enjoy, they deserve some recognition too. Cupcakes are simple, but their decor doesn’t have to be. Glitter can make a cupcake really stand out, shimmer dust is perfectly eye catching. Cut-outs stuck on a toothpick are too cute! Cut out a cutesy shape, like a heart, and glue it on a tooth pick; pop a couple in for added depth and you’ll have the most darling cake decor personalized by you.
Banners
Many times they are great for a get-a-way car for after the reception; why not place a banner on the cake! A tiny banner is a cute way to get a message across to your guests and for in pictures later down the road. Writing “Just Married” or if you’re a history buff, “Let Them Eat Cake” across the cake lets you express yourself in a fun and crafty way!
