Selecting a Wedding Cake Topper
One of the most popular and important components of the perfect wedding cake is the cake topper. I’ve known couples who’ve spent months deliberating over the kind of cake topper they want on their beautiful wedding cake and other just know exactly what they want and go for it. The point is that it’s your decision and it should reflect your wedding theme, the sentiments you and your partner feel are important for the occasion, and a sense of personal style. Let’s look at some options.
The more traditional wedding cake topper depicts a simple bride and groom standing together at the altar, all dressed up and smiling. These are usually full-color and can represent the bride and groom both ethnically and in dress. It isn’t difficult to get a custom cake topper made to resemble the wedding couple, hair styles and all. These can add a nice personal touch to wedding cakes.
Another option is the more elegant, classical cake topper that is stylized and designed to be artistic and classy. Some are all white, others a mixture of colors but they are often more than just two little figures standing together. They can be a sweeping dance pose, where the bodies are connected by a swirl at the base or based more on a shape, like a heart, than on the human figurines. These are beautiful choices and add a sense of class and taste to the wedding cake design.
Many good-natured couples go with a humorous cake topper option, often playing on classic Western stereotypes like the Bride dragging the reluctant Groom to the altar or a Fisherman Groom hooking his Bride with a fishing line. These can provoke a nice laugh at the Reception and offer the guests a personal taste of the couple’s sense of humor. For those who love a laugh and want their wedding to reflect humor and laughter, a humorous cake topper could be the best option.
There are countless wedding cake toppers out there from Hollywood red carpet figures to non-human figurines like deer or cars. You cake topper should reflect the mood and theme of your overall wedding day as well as your personal tastes and style.
