Elephant items are fairly rare too, so you have to be creative. One idea is to scour baby shower retailers, where the elephant is more popular. We found elephant cookies and elephant chocolate pops made for baby showers, but totally suitable for weddings.

Here are some of the ideas and items we’ve found for elephant theme weddings:

  • Have your wedding at the zoo. Many zoos have elaborately decorated “Safari” or “Dark Continent” banquet halls, which makes acquiring that exotic air a snap.
  • Rent elephant gray or animal print tablecloths, and fill the room with large tropical ferns and ficus plants.
  • Buy a high-end elephant serving set and other decorative accents from Arthur Court.
  • Use a blown-glass elephant cake topper on a mirror base. Although these cake toppers are beautiful, it’s rare to find the exact kind most brides want, which is two elephants with trunks intertwined. You’ll probably need to have this custom-made, but we think the cost will be reasonable.
  • Another beautiful cake topper choice is the Tuskers resin product.
  • As the elephant motif slowly makes its way into the wedding industry, you’ll have more choices. For now, we found Find Nautical Themed Favors.
