Choosing a Wedding Cake Topper
Wedding cake toppers have come a long way since the days of the plastic bride and groom figures. And with more and more importance being put on the wedding cake, more importance needs to be put on the wedding cake top. Some different types of wedding cake tops to consider are:
Modern Wedding Cake Toppers:
Contemporary wedding cake tops are available in glazed ceramic and are like a piece of artwork. The styling of linked hearts or a couple kissing as their bodies form a heart create a unique sculpture for the cake top.
Heart Wedding Cake Toppers
Create a modern retro look with an acrylic wedding cake topper. The acrylic cake tops can be square shaped with etched initials or snowflakes and the cake tops are also available in fun shapes like daisies or hearts.
The monogram gets a modern makeover with a large freestanding aluminum letter of the couple’s last name for a wedding cake top.
Traditional Wedding Cake Toppers:
When you think of the traditional cake top, you think of the still popular porcelain bride and groom. You can also do traditional with a twist. A heart shaped cake top with colorful faux jewel butterflies, flower sprays, etched glass and sheer butterfly ribbon and lavender flowers at the base is a magnificent accessory for any wedding cake.
Basket shaped cake top with delicate miniature roses, a pair of white porcelain doves, or rhinestone monogram letters with Swarovski crystals are another traditional way to go.

Funny Wedding Cake Toppers:
For couples with a great sense of humor there are even funny cake tops. A comical couple with the bride dragging the groom, a groom falling over “taking the plunge” or a “gone fishing” cake top with bride catching the groom on a fishing rod offer a comical spin on the cake topper.
Wedding Theme Cake Toppers:
Many couples hold themed weddings and there are many types of cake tops to go along with a variety of themes. Cake tops are available with his and her western boots, the Asian double happiness symbol, shells and starfish, snowflakes or porcelain Claddagh. And for the fairy tale wedding, a glass castle cake top with gold accents and lace or a gold carriage adorned with rhinestones, make dreams come true and your cake look great.
The wedding cake topper is as much a focal point at the wedding as the cake. Shop around to find a style that’s right for you.
