Muslim wedding cake topper

Most toppers sold for a Muslim wedding carry words. "Nikah Mubarak" is common, and so are the couple's names in Arabic.

A few shops sell stock figures of a bride in a headscarf. You pick the one that comes closest. An Islamic wedding cake topper made from your photo shows the two of you instead, her hijab and his sherwani or suit.

The nikah is the marriage contract. A walima, the wedding meal, often follows. A groom may wear a plainer sherwani for the nikah and a more embroidered one for the walima. A suit is common for the walima too. Each figure wears one look, the one in your photos.

Her red dress and hijab, his gold sherwani.

Her white gown and hijab, his navy suit.

What a Muslim bride and groom wear also depends on where the family comes from:

• South Asian brides often wear red, with long sleeves and a matching dupatta. Many grooms wear a sherwani.
• In Indonesia, a bride often wears a kebaya with a hijab or veil.
• In the Gulf, a groom may wear a thobe, often with a bisht.
• In Malaysia, a groom may wear the Baju Melayu. In West Africa, he may wear an agbada.

Our upload page has 3 areas. The photo of the two of you goes in the middle. We build your topper from it. Each side takes one outfit photo, one per partner, worn or on a hanger. Add one only to change that partner's clothes, for example to your walima look. Skip it, and we keep the clothes from the middle photo.

The two of you, head to toe.

We never use your photos to train AI. We never use them in marketing without your written permission. Check the middle photo before you upload:

• The bride wears her hijab the way she will on the day.
• Both of you head to toe, side by side, facing the camera.
• Sharp and bright, with room around you.
• Sleeves and hems in view.

1. 1. Upload your photos

   Put the photo of the two of you in the middle. Add an outfit photo on a side if you want to change those clothes.

2. 2. Pick a style and a pose

   See the two of you in 7 styles. Keep the pose from your photo or pick one of 3 others.

3. 3. Approve the 3D model

   We sculpt the 3D model and show it to you.

4. 4. We print and ship

   We 3D print the figure and ship it to you.

Turn the 3D model and hold it next to your photo. Check these details:

• The hijab covers the hair and neck as in your photo, with its color and the way it falls.
• The long sleeves and the hem of the dress.
• The groom's collar and embroidery.
• Both faces, from the front and from the side.

Check the side too, because when we bought 8 toppers, every proof we got showed only the front.

If a detail is off, ask for a new sculpt. Changes are free until it looks right. You pay only after you approve the 3D model.

Is a figure of us OK for a nikah?

Scholars differ on figures of people. If you are unsure, ask your imam. If you would rather not have figures, a topper with words only, such as "Nikah Mubarak", is common. Our toppers show both of you, faces included.

Can I order one as a nikah gift for a couple?

Yes. You need a photo of the two of them, head to toe. One you already have works, for example from their engagement.
