If you don’t have glitter paper you can always use cardstock and use white glue to adhere glitter to it. Make sure glitter is spread evenly and you allow time for it to dry.
Instead of a glue gun you can use strong double sided tape.

1 Punch out hearts an even number of heartswith your heart puncher. If you don’t have one, draw hearts on the backside and cut out with smaller scissors. You will need 2 hearts for each cake topper.
2 Place a flat toothpick on the centre of the non glittery side of the heart. Squeeze a lentil sized glue dollop on top.
3 Grab another heart and, non glitter side down, place it directly on top of the heart with glue on it. Make sure all edges line up before squeezing the heart down and gluing it together.
4 Repeat and stick in your cake to make it super pretty and cute!

Before I was engaged I had my wedding colours all sorted out:

  • Each bridesmaid a different colour with a white bouquet of a single flower type – preferably their birth month flower
  • Me in a white dress, perhaps with a multicoloured petti coat underneath, with a colourful bouquet with each bridesmaid colour and their birth month flower
  • Guys dressed in grey and white with their tie the same colour as their coordinating bridesmaid

As you can see that’s not what we ended up doing, but I still love the idea. And if super bright rainbow colours isn’t your style, you can still do this with muted pastels and get the same effect. I think it’s totally gorgeous and so much fun, don’t you?

What was your wedding colours, or if you aren’t married,
what would be your ideal palette?
