Hand Painted Indian Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper*
When you get married it is more than the union of two people. It is the unification of two families, their cultural heritages and the ancestors of each merging together into a new and hopeful family that will carry those traditions on into the next generation. Portraying that heritage at the ceremony itself is a way of showing your commitment to your past, and the Hand Painted Indian Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper does it on the most photographed table of the day.
This set is an Indian take on the traditional tuxedo and white dress wedding cake toppers that are iconic as part of the traditional wedding ceremony. It allows those with an Indian ancestry to indulge the tradition of the wedding cake topper while still staying true to who they are culturally.
The groom is dressed in a traditional Indian sherwani, pure white, draped across his form. The bride wears a rich bright red dress with exquisite details painted into it, and she carries the traditional henna and bindi adorning her body. Guests lean in over the cake and the brushwork is what holds them: the fall of the sherwani, the pattern worked into the red, the fine marks of the henna on her hands.
The two pieces are separate, so they can be posed on the cake top in whatever position you desire. Stand them facing one another, side by side, a step apart on a tiered cake, or spaced along the top so both read clearly from the camera.
The groom is 5.5" tall and 2.25" wide, and his figure weighs 3.2 ounces. The bride is 5" tall and 2" wide, also weighing 3.2 ounces. Give those numbers to your baker before the top tier is designed, because porcelain with real weight to it needs a tier built to carry it.
The figures are crafted with exquisite quality and detail, and the hand painted features found on each of them only serve to make them more unique and life like. When the cake is cut they come off the dessert table and onto a shelf in the couple's first home, still telling the same story to anyone who asks about them.
Choose your quantity and let the top of the cake say who this couple is.

- On the sweet or mithai table beside the cake when the cake design has no flat top tier.
- As the centerpiece of the couple's display at an engagement party or a sangeet months before the wedding.
- On a shelf in the couple's first home once the reception is over, brought out again each anniversary.
Which one should I choose
Couples choosing a cake topper are really deciding whether the top of the cake should show who they are, or simply decorate the tier.
| Hand Painted Indian Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper | Choose it when the sherwani and the red bridal dress belong on the cake: hand painted porcelain, two separate figures you position yourself. |
|---|---|
| A traditional tuxedo and white dress cake topper | Choose it when you want the classic western couple, the iconic shape this set was designed as an Indian answer to. |
| A monogram or floral cake topper | Choose it when the cake design calls for something lighter and more abstract; it will not show a guest anything about the couple. |
If the wedding is meant to carry the couple's heritage into every part of the day, the hand painted Indian bride and groom say it without a word.
