Allow Your Wedding Cake Toppers To Reflect The Two Of You

With an enormous variety of wedding cake toppers available today it is not too difficult to choose just the right topper to mirror both the theme for your wedding and your own personalities.

When you are planning a wedding, there are a thousand things which you have to consider, not just in respect of the ceremony, but for the reception as well. It hardly needs to be said, but one thing which is essential to any wedding reception is the wedding cake itself.

Your cake is not simply 'party food', but is a traditional element of the wedding celebration, with the happy couple cutting the first piece of cake and 'feeding' each other.

Clearly you would wish to consider the design of your cake well in advance of the wedding, from the sort of cake you want to the type of frosting and the style of wedding cake toppers you wish to adorn the cake.

Of course wedding cake toppers are not strictly required and you could simply omit them. However, putting them on your wedding cake can allow you express your personality and make a significant different to the impact of what is arguably the centerpiece of your reception.

But exactly what is a topper?

For many years, wedding cake toppers have been the small figures of the happy couple which are sometimes put on the top of a wedding cake representing togetherness. By custom, wedding cake toppers depict the bride and groom in formal attire and are frequently the only part of the cake which can be preserved through the years, apart from photographs of course. Wedding cake toppers were most popular in the 1950s, but the majority of couples continue to put them on cakes.

So, just what type of cake topper should we pick?

Today, there are far more designs for toppers than the plain old bride and groom and these range from the silly to the elegant. Should you wish to use wedding cake toppers then pick something which is going to be appropriate for the style of your reception and for you. If you are having a formal wedding then you might consider picking a time-honored bride and groom toppers or possibly use your initials to create a 'monogrammed' topper. Simple wedding cake toppers such as these are also the best choice when you and your partner are finding it difficult to agree on toppers.

If your aim is for a more relaxed and informal reception then you might want to go for a funny wedding cake topper or for something which reflects hobbies or interests which you and your partner have in common. Alternatively, if you have picked a theme for your reception then go for wedding cake toppers which reflect this theme. For example, nothing can add a nicer touch to a reception with an 'aquatic' theme than wedding cake toppers in the form of a pair of dolphins together.

Simply ensure that your toppers will work with the design of your cake and, if you are in any doubt then let the artistry of your cake speak for itself and leave off the toppers.

However, with such an extensive range of wedding cakes toppers to select from nowadays it is hard to imagine that you will not be able to find the perfect wedding cake topper.
