Nightmare Before Christmas Wedding Cake Topper

Why Use a Jack and Sally Topper?

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, initially released in 1993, quickly became a unique classic. This highly original film found fans among a broad range of ages and lifestyles and continues to be a favorite among many. The animated musical has an original love story at its heart - Jack Skellington, the King of Halloween and his admiring friend, Sally, embrace and kiss at the end of the movie to the final line: "for it is plain, as anyone can see: we're simply meant to be."

Jack and Sally are the perfect couple for Tim Burton fans, fans in particular of The Nightmare Before Christmas, couples planning a Halloween wedding or bridal shower, or just those looking for something a bit more fun and unusual to add an interesting twist to their wedding cake and reception theme.

Styles and Where to Buy a Nightmare Before Christmas Wedding Cake Topper

Black toppers add a spooky but sweet touch to a black and orange or Halloween wedding, while a Jack and Sally topper with white tulle and background can be a fun way to incorporate this theme into a wedding with more traditional colors.

More Nightmare Before Christmas Cake Ideas

If you want to go all out with a designer wedding cake, the award-winning cake designer Colette's Cakes has a gorgeous, original, and spookily whimsical Nightmare Before Christmas cake that will be certain to be a focal point of the reception.

Another idea instead of having a wedding cake and topper would be to have a cupcake wedding cake. Cupcakes could either be arranged to form a depiction of Jack and Sally, or have a simple Nightmare theme decorating each individual cupcake. For an informal wedding, sheet cakes with screened or airbrushed Nightmare images would also work well. Arrange themed candles or candleholders around the border for a spooktacular effect.

Still another idea is that a tiered cake with a topper might be a series of individual cakes, each with a different character or plot depiction, and culminating with a Jack and Sally cake that the couple will cut for the cake cutting ceremony. Keep in mind that although it may be a bit more costly, many bakeries and wedding cake designers are willing to work with you and make a custom cake based on your specifications.

Whichever Jack and Sally or Nightmare Before Christmas wedding cake topper or cake design you choose, it's sure to be unique part of your wedding reception that's not quickly forgotten.
