Wedding

The top of a wedding cake is the focal point of any cake. It is also where you can decide how unique you want your wedding to be. You can choose to do you and your fiance's initials, figurines, or monograms – the options are limitless. When it comes to wedding cakes in present day, less is more, but you don't want it to be overlooked. It should symbolize something meaningful to you and your husband and wife. Even if you're having a classy wedding you can choose something out of the funny wedding cake toppers group as long as it means something to you and your significant other. Perhaps a cake topper that is reminiscent of a joke or memory that you share. Anything is possible. Have a little fun and be creative.

Typically wedding cake topper ideas don't vary that much from one cake to the next, unless the wedding has a distinct topic. For the oceanside receptions there are beach-themed wedding cake toppers such as seashells or dolphins that are absolutely authentic looking. From fall wedding themes to forest themes, your choices for wedding cake toppers are only as limited as your imagination! One movie star who chose to go with an enchanted forest theme had an Alice in Wonderland cake made complete with a crazy top hat decorated with their initials.

From glass to ceramic, there is nothing you can't have put on the top of a wedding cake! So here's a tip, choose the wedding cake first and then think about the wedding cake topper. Most bakeries who have elegantly designed cakes will have a nice collection of wedding cake toppers to choose from that correspond the best with the cake of your choice. They most likely will not carry something more personal than monograms and figurines, so if you're thinking of something more special you'll have to check out some of the places we have listed here on Chicago Bridal Site. Just keep in mind that you don't want something that looks awkward with the rest of the cake; the entire piece should harmonize, from bottom layer to top layer.

A more meaningful and personal cake topper could be using the same one your parent's used when they tied the knot. This would connect both generations in together and give that part of the wedding a transcendent feel. Some funny cake wedding toppers are figurines of brides dragging the groom, or the groom trying to run away. These are humorous and at the same time do not detract from the elegance of the wedding ceremony.

Unique wedding cake toppers are ones that are more individualized that you can have sculpted from scratch. These are great cake toppers because the figurines look like the bride and groom and you can customize their actions. It doesn't have to be the stereotypical husband and wife holding hands or kissing, and it can still be romantic. Customized wedding cake toppers end up being way more romantic than the standard; you will want to keep them for a lifetime. It will give you a story you can pass on and tell your kids and family.
