Lladro Wedding Figurines
One of the most beautiful ways to symbolize a strong marriage that will weather the storms through the years is
by etching it into stone, or literally carving it into porcelain. Lladro wedding figurines have been a popular
means of expressing a couple's devotion to one another, and also make great presents to newlyweds.
There is a huge assortment of these figurines, which shows how popular these items are. The Black Legacy
figurine was discontinued in 1999, and now fetches a high price of as much as $800 in second hand markets. Some may
make a big deal about how 'ahead of its time' this figurine is in showing a black newlywed couple, while others
will focus alone on the great craftsmanship involved. Either way, this remains a very popular item.
A popular piece that does not show bride and groom but only a bride and the one dressing her up is the 'My
Wedding Day' figurine, which fetches nearly $3,000, amazingly. Chalk it up to the amazing care and detail giving
these characters life, as well as the rarity of the item, after having been produced for about a period of 12
years, until 1997.
The Lladro Wedding Cake figurine shows a couple about to slice their four story cake, and amazingly enough, the
cake is topped by a couple figurine as well! The couple here looks solemn yet genuinely moved by the occasion. This
is now being sold at over $1,500.
A retired figurine that remains very affordable at $350 shows a couple in a more old-fashioned garb, as though
about to take their vows. It is slightly smaller than other figurines, but is nonetheless a beauty to behold.
Apart from Lladro, another wedding figurine that is difficult to find is the Cinderella and Prince Charming
newlywed cake topper. This was part of a Walt Disney Classics figurines series, which also included characters from
'Bambi' and 'Fantasia.'
Another wedding figurine is one of many designed by Giuseppe Armani, and this is the 'Just Married Wedding on
Wheels' figurine, showing a couple having gotten into their car, with the new husband driving. It is pretty large
at 17.5 by 19 inches, and goes for as much as $2,500.
Whether you get Lladro wedding figurines or other brands, the excellent craftsmanship and thought put into each
model is something that the recipient will surely cherish. These items also make for great heirlooms, for future
generations to appreciate.
