Let Your Wedding Cake Toppers Reflect You
When planning a wedding, there are a million different things to choose from, not only for the ceremony, but for
the reception as well. One thing that no wedding reception would be complete without is the wedding cake
itself.
The cake isn't just party food, but a traditional part of the wedding celebration, with the bride and groom cutting
of the first piece of cake. You would want to consider your cake design well in advance of the wedding, from the
kind of cake to the type of frosting to the wedding cake toppers you will want to use. Out of all these things,
wedding cake toppers are the only ones you can do without, but adding them to your cake can be an expression of
your personality.
What's a Topper?
Wedding cake toppers are the little bride and groom figures that are sometimes placed on top of a wedding cake,
representing togetherness. Traditional wedding cake toppers depict the bride and groom in formal attire, and are
generally the only part of the wedding cake that can be preserved through the years, apart from photographs of
course. These toppers were the most popular in the 1950s, though many people still put them on cakes.
What Should I Pick?
These days, there are more designs for wedding cake toppers than the simple bride and groom, ranging from the silly
to the elegant. If you decide to get wedding cake toppers, pick something that's appropriate for the style of your
wedding reception and for you. If your wedding is a more formal affair, consider just the typical topper, or for a
stylish touch, go for the first initials of you and your new spouse and make your wedding cake toppers look like a
monogram. Simple wedding cake toppers such as this are also the best choice if you and your fiancée are having
difficulty agreeing on toppers.
If your aim is for a more relaxed, informal reception, you may want to choose from humorous wedding cake toppers or
something that appeals to common hobbies you and your new spouse share. Or, if you've picked a theme for your
reception, look for wedding cake toppers that support that theme. Nothing adds a nice little touch to an
aquatic-themed reception like wedding cake toppers depicting a pair of dolphins together, for example. Just be sure
that your toppers will work with the design of cake you use; if you're still in doubt, let the artistry of your
cake speak for itself and leave the toppers. Whether you choose to go with the toppers on not, just be sure to let
your cake represent you on your special day.
