Seriously, Do I Live in A Freakin' Cave or What!? This Gal is from Asheville!!!
You all know I totally heart Asheville and I'm a big fan of local vendors. Well I was in town yesterday and popped my head in to see Amanda at Palettes of Perfection (POP) and Shay of Shay Brown Events. Amanda told me about Star House, a custom cake top maker. Then she showed me the custom cake toppers!

Wha-wha-what! Holy crap, I said, those wedding cake toppers were on A Broke Ass Bride last month! And indeed they were. Now I feel a bit sheepish because I should have been writing this like, um, a month ago. Oh well. I'm writing it now. And I'm telling you this. Asheville rocks! We have some of the coolest, most creative people here. It very much reminding me of the SF Bay Area. Very hip.

Anyway, I totally love that all of her cake toppers are customizable.You can include your dog, your kids, or other such pets you may have running around the house. You can have the people look like you with your dress.

The best part of this for me is that this is a local artist. I'm a big fan of supporting the local economy. And for you destination brides, this is a nice way to take home a mountain made keepsake that's not cheesy. Star House has also been featured on the Indie Bride, and the Natural Wedding Company. Woohoo, you go Star House.
