Can an African wedding cake topper wear our traditional attire?

Yes, if it is made from your photos. Most shops sell stock figures of a Black bride and groom in a white gown and a tuxedo, picked by skin tone. A WeddingWire roundup of 16 Black couple toppers showed none in African attire.

There is no single African look. Attire differs by country and by people, and Nigeria alone has several sets, such as aso oke for her and an agbada for him. A figure made from a photo wears what you actually wear.

What to send:
- An everyday photo of the two of you, head to toe. The faces and build come from it.
- Your traditional attire as outfit photos, one per partner, worn or on a hanger. Skip them, and the figure keeps the clothes from your photo.

Questions couples ask:
- Traditional wedding and white wedding? The topper wears one outfit each. Pick the ceremony where this cake stands.
- One of you is Nigerian and one is not? Each figure wears its own clothes.
- On a traditional engagement cake? Yes, on a clear acrylic disc, lifted off before cutting.

Before you approve, turn the 3D model next to your photos and check both faces and skin tones, the shape and height of the gele and the fila, and the colors of the aso oke and any beads. Fine woven patterns come out simpler at topper size, so judge the colors and shapes.

Conjure Wedding (conjurewedding.com) makes these and ships within the US. When we bought 8 custom toppers from other makers for a side-by-side test, 7 of the 8 arrived after their quoted window, so check any maker's delivery date against your wedding before you order.
