Cake topper is done... almost... (PIP)

Originally FI and I wanted one of those bobblehead cake toppers, but they were way too expensive, so someone on here (agh, sorry, I can't remember who) suggested Lynn's Little Creations on Etsy. 

Lynn has been great to work with and I just received word that our cake topper is done - well, almost.  I originally sent her pictures of my hair inspiration as an all-down style, but I changed it to an off-to-the-side bun a couple months ago.  I sent her an email to update her about that change and a couple others and she made all of the changes except for my hair.  Needless to say, she's going to fix the hair, but in the meantime I had to share as the cake topper came out far better than I had expected.

The details on the dress on the cake topper are almost exactly the way they look on my real dress, the bouquet is perfect (my bouquet is peach calla lilies), and the soccer jersey she put on FI was done to perfection (FI couldn't believe how perfectly she made it based on the pictures we sent of his favorite team).

In case anyone is interested in taking a look at her shop the link is: http://www.etsy.com/shop/lynnslittlecreations

And here are some pictures (including two pictures of my dress so you can see how well she made it):

    Aww, haha, thanks!  Why aren't you having one?  Are you not doing one altogether or just having your florist put flowers on top?

    The top of the cake is going to be flowers (not real ones, edible ones). So I think the topper would be too much..

    Ohhh, gotcha!  That makes sense.  Our florist said he'll decorate our cake with flowers for free, so I think I may ask him to put a few around the cake topper just so it kind of flows into the overall design of the cake as opposed to just being on top and sticking out like a sore thumb, haha.

    I think it wound up being $75 or a little less once shipping was included.  Definitely expensive, but nowhere near the prices I was seeing for the bobbleheads.  And I'll definitely post pictures after the wedding.  :-)
