Top up your Wedding Cake with a Fetching Topper

by WeddingCakeCreations.com Wedding cake toppers used to be a very dull and generic bride and groom standing side by side. Regardless of race or ethnicity the topper was always a Caucasian couple wearing western dress. Those days are thankfully long gone! 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. Here are a few popular ideas to help in this fun decision: Monograms Using a custom made monogram cake topper is a very elegant choice. This classy topper serves a dual purpose in that it can also be used to monogram the napkins, table cloths and party favors – creating a simple and unifying theme for your wedding. Individualized Toppers Many cake designers offer their artistry for the creation of personalized 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. Although pricy, these personal toppers can really make a big splash. Themed Toppers Wedding cake toppers can also match the overall theme of the wedding. For instance a western wedding can have two pairs of cowboy boots on them. A medieval wedding can have a knight and his lady on the cake or two doctors might choose to have a stethoscope and thermometer on the cake – the choice really is up to you. Wedding cake toppers are available in as many materials as shapes and themes. There are some very costly toppers that are made with such fine materials as crystal, porcelain and even ceramic while the more affordable ones are generally made out of acrylic. If you have an unlimited budget then you might want to commission a piece made out of jade, silver, gold or bronze. However, before making your final choice talk to your cake designer as some cakes may be unable to bear the heavier toppers.
