Ideas for Choosing Themed Wedding Cake Toppers
| Published in Wedding Drinks & Food
Choosing themed wedding cake toppers can be one of the most important and fun decisions a couple can make for their special day. Many couples today are transitioning beyond the standard plastic bride and groom topper and being creative in their choice of a cake topper. Have you ever noticed how everyone lights up when they look at a cake? Why not make a memorable and lasting impression and highlight the wedding cake with a unique topper that reflects both the bride and groom’s personality.
It is a good idea to begin your search by speaking with your baker about what might look best. Take into consideration the size and shape of your cake. Your topper should enhance or set off the finishing touch of your cake and not stick out like a sore thumb.
The use of flowers makes a beautiful touch and are an excellent way to top a cake. The bride and groom can speak with their florist to match the flower garnishes to the bride’s bouquet for a perfect finishing touch. Artificial flowers may be the best way to go if you decide to use flowers on your cake, especially if some of your wedding guests are prone to seasonal allergies. If you do decide to use live flowers, make sure to use pesticide-free flowers.
Many brides are coordinating the theme of their wedding into their cake topper. For couples who have a beach wedding, seashells are a popular choice for a topper. Autumn leaves can adorn the cake for a fall wedding. For weddings performed around Christmas, small ornaments or Christmas trees are a good choice.
For couples having a western themed wedding, there are many western wedding cake toppers available to choose from. From a simple horseshoe to a small cowboy hat to the more traditional Sweet Western Wedding Embrace topper which depicts a charming cowboy and his lovely bride embracing for their first dance, your choices are limitless.
When deciding on a wedding cake topper, couples should let their imaginations run wild and enjoy choosing this wedding element. It can be a fun memory to last a lifetime.
