10 Wedding Cake Toppers for Same-Sex Couples

As someone who has recently planned her own same-sex wedding, I know how hard it is to find decor that isn’t blatantly his and hers. I’m so thankful for sites and communities such as Etsy where independent and LGBT makers can easily sell their wares like this classic Mr. & Mr. cake topper.

Calligraphy-inspired cake toppers are very trendy right now, and I’m in love with this metal wire script design. It’s dainty, a little bit boho and perfect for semi-naked or naked cakes. You could also bend it into an ornament after the wedding for a special keepsake.

I remember the exact moment the news of the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage was made. I was sitting at my desk at the HGTV office and our social media team posted a photo of a rainbow flower wreath on all of our social media channels. That day was so powerful and electric and happy, and today many couples in the US (my wife and I included) choose to include the final paragraph from the ruling in their wedding ceremony. If you want to commemorate that special day, this "love wins" topper is subtle but guaranteed to be your favorite wedding keepsake.

Instead of lifelike figures, try an artsy silhouette. You can order silhouettes of you and your partner from Etsy maker Custom Laser Studio. The design can even include items that show off your personality such as a guitar or your pet.
