Choosing your wedding cake topper
Once upon a time, wedding cake toppers consisted of a little plastic bride and groom that didn’t have much personality nor quality about them. The custom of having a bride and groom statuette atop a wedding cake began back in the 1950s in the USA. The figures were said to represent togetherness and distinguised a wedding cake from being any other celebratory cake.
Since the early days of plain, little black and white plastic figurines with painted on bright pink faces much progress has been made. Well, times have changed and nowadays you can purchase wedding cake toppers in thousands of different styles and materials and you are truly spoilt for choice….in fact maybe today there is far too much choice – making it very hard to decide on just the one!
These days, choosing the right wedding cake topper is important – maybe not as important as choosing the right dress, flowers…or spouse! However, with the wedding cake being the centerpiece of a wedding reception it does receive much attention. Wedding cakes are also in full view of all guests for a few hours before it is cut and the topper will be immortalised along with you and your spouse, when the photographs are taken of you both cutting the cake. It is therefore very worthwhile to opt for a cake topper that truly reflects your personality, or one that mirrors your wit and sense of humor.
Maybe you’d prefer one that illustrates your hobbies or perhaps one that just ties the whole theme of your wedding together. As wedding toppers for cakes are such a visual element – the first step to deciding which type to go for is to browse many images of wedding cake toppers that other couples have chosen to see what catches your eye.
You will be amazed at what is available in the marketplace and online. Figurines are available that depict couples in mountaineering gear, of various ethinic background, walking hand-in-hand on a beach, riding a motorcycle or sitting gingerly on the edge of the cake. Monogrammed wedding cake toppers are also very popular and add an air of elegance and personalised heart shaped toppers that feature a photograph of the couple are gaining in popularity too.
If you’d like to browse an image gallery of wedding cake toppers, make your way to sites such as Wedding Cake Toppers where you’ll find many images of some of the best wedding cake toppers as well as links to the suppliers that stock them. As your big day fast approaches I wish you Shakespeare’s wedding wish – ‘May heaven give you many, many merry days!’
