    Our reception is at Disney's Animal Kingdom. We thought it would be fun to do something different...

    Df's mom laughed and asked if we were serious.

    What about a topper?  Df really wants a topper but I like the way it's pictured here.

    I LOVE it for your venue!  How perfect!  Id go against the flower...it seems out of place.  See if you can find bride and groom giraffes or something!

    KellyV: That's exactly what I was thinking. A bride and groom giraffe or some other animal kingdom animal.

    I think you should for sure do a topper. It's be cute and fit into your theme and make it look a bit more wedding-y.

    Lol Df nicknamed himself a giraffe because he's so tall.  He even has one in his car I bought him.

    I LOVE the cake!  You have to give off just the right vibe to pull something like that off and it sounds like you have the PERFECT place for that. 

    I love the 3rd topper, but personally I would display the topper and leave the cake without one - or put the topper on the grooms cake!

    I think its perfectly fitting for your location.

    Did you check out the wedding at the Zoo on the offbeat bride? They had one of the most beautiful animal inspired weddings of all time.

    An animal theme doesn't need to feel like a kids birthday party when done right! Forget the naysayers :)

    I was so eager to see the cake that I didn't read your message at first. I thought, "WOW, that is a gorgeous cake! But for a wedding, hmmm..." Then, I scrolled up for more info and saw that you're having it at Disney's Animal Kingdom. SO PERFECT! I absolutely adore it!! You should totally do it, I think it would be a huge hit. And I like the 1st and the 3rd cake toppers the best.
