Toppers for Your Wedding Cake

Posted: 03 August 2010
Toppers for Your Wedding Cake

A cake topper is the finishing touch of your wedding cake. Choose your wedding cake first and then choose a topper of the right style, colour and size for the cake. Today wedding cake toppers come in so many different sizes, shapes and styles that choosing the right one can take as much time as choosing the right cake.

Monograms

Using a custom-made monogram cake topper is an elegant choice. This sophisticated topper serves a dual purpose in that it can also be used to monogram the napkins, wedding stationary and wedding favours – creating a simple, unified theme for your wedding.

Individualised toppers

Many cake designers offer their artistry for the creation of personalised cake toppers made to resemble the bride and groom. These custom figures can be realistic, impressions or fantasies of what the couple would like to be. You can even choose a humorous topper. Examples of this type include a bride and groom racing to the top of the wedding cake or one that show the couple on cell phones. Although pricey, these personal toppers can make a big impression.

Flowers

If you have a “wow” cake and want to finish it off with a small topper that doesn’t overpower the look, then opt for flowers that match your wedding bouquet and have your florist make a little posy for the topper.

Themed Toppers

Wedding cake toppers can also match the overall theme of your wedding. For instance, if you are having a beach wedding then you can opt for a cute pair of sandals or starfish. Alternatively, if both of you are in the same profession (such as medicine) then opt for something adorable like a stethoscope or thermometer on the cake - anything goes and the choice is yours!
