A Cake Topper for a Wedding or a Civil Partnership?

When I saw a tutorial for a bride and groom cake topper, made from a clothespin, on the website Brooklyn Bride , it was so cute I had to give it a go and make some! I have designed and made my own pom pom fairies , but they were made from the one piece wooden pegs now I have to try a two piece!

I have to admit It was a bit fiddly painting the clothespins, I only had normal sized pegs, in the tutorial they used oversized, but I still think they look vaguely presentable!
I can see potential in this idea not just a cake topper, as the tutorial suggested, but also attached to a gift or card or even just given as a memento of a special day.
It would be a nice touch to paint them to (vaguely!) resemble the 'happy couple' it would make it more personal and could be given as a keepsake for an engagement, wedding, civil partnership, or wedding anniversary.

You know how much I LOVED the pompom fairies - well I cannot believe HOW brilliant these are too. You could (and should!) really run with these ..................... very, very wantable and quirky.

Fan- tas- tic! Now you need one with two brides.
They'd be ace as place card holders, maybe? Loads of little dudes (or gals) all over the table, and for each guest to take home afterwards.
Yup, love it!

Place card holders, that's a really good idea and to be fair and balanced I should have shown two brides, but you get the idea.
