Scottish wedding cake topper

Search for a Scottish wedding cake topper and you find a few kinds:

• A kilt in outline, cut from black acrylic.
• Toy-brick figures with your tartan printed on them.
• Highland cows in clay.
• Clay figures made to order from your photos, to match your outfits.

Ours is a 3D printed figure of the two of you, kilt included. We build it from your photo: your faces and your clothes.

The two wedding jackets are the Prince Charlie and the Argyll. The Prince Charlie is a dinner jacket with short tails at the back. It suits a formal wedding. The Argyll is less formal, like a good suit.

Which tartan? Traditionally, people wear the clan tartan of their surname. You can search the Scottish Register of Tartans by name. If yours has none, look for a district tartan from where your family lived, or one made for anyone to wear.

The bride often wears a tartan sash. It is pinned at one shoulder. At some weddings, a family member pins a clan tartan sash or rosette on the partner in the ceremony. It welcomes them into the clan.

Is one of you Irish? See our guide to the Irish wedding cake topper.

Here is one couple with each jacket. The kilt and her tartan sash stay the same.

Our upload page has 3 areas. The photo of the two of you goes in the middle, and we build your topper from it. It can be an everyday photo.

The two of you, head to toe.

The outfit photos go on the sides, one for each of you. Without them, we keep the clothes from your photo. Check these 4 things:

• Each outfit shows whole, head to hem.
• Shot clean and straight-on, like a shop page.
• Kilt hired? Ask the shop for a full photo of the outfit. A close-up of the cloth is not enough.
• His kilt and her sash in the same light, so the colors match.

For another wedding with its own customs, see our Jewish wedding cake topper page.

1. 1. Upload your photos

   Put the photo of the two of you in the middle. Add outfit photos on the sides if you want other 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. You pay only after you approve it.

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 photos. Check these details:

• The tartan colors on the kilt and on any sash.
• The sporran at the front and the pleats at the back.
• The jacket: Prince Charlie or Argyll, as he will wear it.
• Both faces, from the front and the side.

If something looks wrong, ask for a new sculpt. Re-sculpts are free until the likeness is right. Pick Full-Color so the tartan prints in color. Single-Color prints the whole figure in one color.

Can both of us wear tartan, in two different tartans?

Yes. Each of you adds your own outfit photo, so each can wear a different tartan.

Can it be two grooms in kilts, or two brides?

Yes. We make any couple, two brides and two grooms too.

Can you add a Highland cow?

No. We make toppers of the two of you, from your photo.

Can he wear a kilt if he is not Scottish?

Yes. There are no laws about which tartan you may wear, just traditions.
