places, everyone!

Here's a big custom project I have been working on for the past few weeks--one of my happy wedding cake topper customers asked me to do place card holders for the tables at her reception based on her favorite characters from the Beatrix Potter books. I loved these books as a kid too, so it was really fun to revisit them.

A new challenge for me was to add the place card wires to the stands--I added cards of the imaginary guests at MY imaginary wedding reception to show you how they will look when they're performing their intended function.

Hey Beautiful Person!

I recently got a commission to make a special set of wedding cake toppers for a lesbian couple. It was a surprise gift from a friend of the lucky couple, and she thought that one bride and one with a bird on its back seemed like the right way to portray them. I was a little perplexed about how to make the veil work with a turtle body, but was really happy with this solution. The customer bought my little wedding cake too, and seeing this trio makes me really happy.

The customer was so pleased with the results when they arrived on her doorstep, that she took it one step further and asked if it was okay if they designed turtle wedding shower t-shirts for all the bachelorettes. I was so impressed with the results (it actually reminds me of the graphics on a card line I designed too!) To see more work by Freshwater Design, click here.)
