10 Unorthodox Wedding Cake Toppers

Who says a wedding cake has to be topped with the standard bride and groom standing right next to each other? In the age of alternative wedding vows, customized cakes and unorthodox wedding sites, there's no reason for bland wedding cake toppers.

These unique wedding cake toppers are uniquely suited to the couples for whom they were designed. Each tells its own story about the relationship and interests of the bride and the groom, and no two are alike. With wedding cake toppers that look this good, who cares about the boring traditional kind?
