In less than a week, I will be another year older. Not wiser, just older. I can't believe it. Normally, I'm not great with birthdays but now that I've only a few years left to celebrate my twenties, I figure I should just embrace them wholeheartedly with parties and more importantly, cake! My change of heart has a lot to do with a trend I've noticed over the past few months that I really do hope will catch on, candle wedding cake toppers.And particularly, the long, thin, and super cute taper candles. In most families, blowing out candles has always been the way to mark an important occasion or celebration so why not continue this on your wedding day? It's so much fun and visually, it's a great alternative to little mini figurines! We have rounded up a few of our favourites as examples that you are sure to enjoy. Pick up your own taper candles at Olive and Cocoa and Everyday Occasions!
