Let’s meet the cast!
We loved exploring and designing our inclusive cast of magical wedding toppers. Here, we’ve built an array of characters in an attempt to represent love in as many races, identities, and orientations as possible.
Because love doesn't discriminate. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Allyson’s Bakery
Once a charming little patisserie heaven full of love and baked goods, Allyson’s bakery has become neglected over time after the passing of her husband, Peter. His absence left Allyson worn out and jaded. Her shop became a reflection of that.
But underneath the surface of grief and dust, there was still color and joy waiting to be rediscovered. With a change of heart and perspective, all the beauty comes back when she lets love (all kinds of love) into her heart again.
