I’m sure you heard that gay and lesbian couples can now legally tie the knot in the state of California.  A gay wedding, just like a straight wedding, will need to find the right location, band or DJ, invitations, flowers, a photographer, a cake and a great caterer, as well as a pair of wedding dresses or tuxedos.

While many wedding Web sites and planning books cater to a bride and groom wedding, there are a myriad of sites and books that specialize in gay and lesbian wedding planning and related products.  The site GayWeddings.com features planning tips, wedding products, a vendor search engine and real weddings to inspire other couples.  The book Gay and Lesbian Weddings: Planning the Perfect Same-Sex Ceremony by David Toussaint is a great resource as well.

The two gay and lesbian wedding cake toppers featured above are both available at GayWeddings.com.  Each bride and groom is sold separately so you can choose the figurine that matches your ethnic backgrounds – African-American, Asian, Hispanic and Caucasian.  These are also great for straight couples looking for multi-cultural cake toppers.
