Viking wedding cake topper

The dressed clay couples you find are made to a stock design, not to your faces.

We make a 3D printed figure of the two of you. It has your faces and the clothes you wear on the day.

Viking women wore a strap dress, often called an apron dress, over a long underdress. Each strap was held at the front by a shell-shaped brooch, often with a string of beads between the pair. Few clothes from that time survive, so copies of the dress differ.

Men wore a tunic and trousers, with a cloak fastened by a brooch. No Viking helmet with horns has ever been found. The horns may come from an opera staging in 1876. Some couples today pick a looser take. She wears a gown, white or black, with a fur wrap and braids. He wears a suit or a fur cape.

The same faces, in a mixed look and a modern one.

Gown with a fur wrap.

Will you wear your Viking clothes only on the day? You do not need a photo in them. Our upload page has 3 areas. An everyday photo of the two of you goes in the middle, and we build the figures from it.

The two of you, head to toe.

His outfit, on a hanger.

Her dress, on a hanger.

Each side takes one outfit photo, on a hanger or worn. The left side is for the partner on the left of your photo. Add one only for the partner whose clothes change. Without it, we keep the clothes from your photo. So one of you can be a Viking and the other wear a gown or suit.

• Both of you stand side by side, head to toe, facing the camera.
• Each outfit photo shows the whole outfit, brooches and cloak included.

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.

See how close a figure from a photo gets to your faces.

You see the two of you in your outfits in every style. Then you turn the 3D model and see it from every side. Before you approve it, check these:

• Her brooches and the color of her apron dress.
• His cloak from behind, and how it is fastened.

If a face or an outfit looks off, we sculpt it again at no cost. You pay only after you approve the 3D model.

Can the figures hold hands, like at a handfasting?

Yes. Holding hands is one of the poses. You can also keep the pose from your photo.

Can it look carved from wood?

One of the 7 styles is Wood Carving. It is a look. The figure is printed, not carved.

Can the figure hold a sword or an axe?

We make the two of you in your clothes. We cannot promise a sword or a shield on the figure.

I will braid my hair only on the day. Will the braids show?

Hair comes from the photo of the two of you. For braids on the figure, wear them in that photo. A flower crown stays too.
