Choosing Themed Wedding Cake Toppers
The wedding cake topper reflects the overall theme of a wedding and puts the finishing touches on the cake. Traditionally, the usual topper for wedding cakes have been the plastic bride and groom. Today, many couples are moving beyond the traditional plastic topper and letting creativity inspire them in their choice of a cake topper.
Vintage wedding cake toppers always go well for traditional style weddings. These nostalgic and sweet toppers feature figures such as doves or lovebirds, swans, hearts, wedding bells, arches, humming birds, or butterflies.
Nowadays, many couples are choosing novelty cake toppers that reflects a more whimsical flare. Humorous wedding cake toppers in which a determined bride hooks her groom and drags him to the alter are becoming very popular. Also, toppers that reflect a favorite pastime such as fishing, hunting, or golfing are a nice change of pace from the norm and certainly catches the eye, not to mention chuckles, of your guests.
The cake topper also plays a big role in fantasy style weddings. Pumpkin carriages and castles work well as a fanciful creation for this style of wedding.
For a beach themed wedding, the possibilities are virtually endless for cake toppers. Exotic flowers, chocolate seashells, miniature palm trees, or a cute pair of Adirondack chairs are just a few options you could use.
New to the market of cake toppers is cake jewelry. Cake jewelry really makes your cake stand out and truly adds sparkle to your reception. A tiara filled with flowers is a beautiful choice that your guests will not be able to take their eyes off.
It is important however for brides and grooms to talk with their baker about what might look best and take into consideration the size and shape of the cake. Most of all, couples should let their imagination run free and enjoy choosing this fun wedding element.
