Cake topper

Keith bought me two little elephant figurines for our 1 month anniversary and I would like to use them as our wedding topper (as a surprise for Keith).  I envision with with some flowers (that I fear may overpower the little elephants) or a monogram J.  I have found one I like but can't seem to find it for less than $16.  Still searching eBay and Craigslist too.

My first choice: 4 inches high.  The elephants are about 2.5 to 3.  I would like to find one a bit taller but all the taller ones are styles I don't love.  I will keep looking but I'm not expecting to find much more.  (UPDATE: Found it for $14 so I ordered it to see if it will work - input still welcome.)


The second choice for a J would be this script version:
It's taller (5.5 inches) but I don't know that I like it very much.

Then today Christie offered me the use of a cake topper she bought for her daughters wedding last summer and they ended up not using it.  She said she won't be offended if I don't use it but wanted to offer it.  It's a double heart and very nice but not the picture in my head.   (the red tinge is a reflection in the picture)





However, since the budget is going to be the biggest challenge I should probably consider it.
UPDATE:  I will post the 2 pictures of cake styles I am looking at.  I got the first choice J topper but I think it is way to small and understated for the cake style.  I will post a picture in a minute.

Input is welcome.
