From themed toppers to funny toppers and crystal monogram toppers to personalized cake toppers, wedding cake decorations come in different sizes and shape imitating everything you can imagine in a western wedding. There are a million different things that you can consider when it comes to a wedding cake arrangement. Different things need to be arranged not only for the wedding ceremony but for the reception too.
Plan in advance:
Without the wedding cake, no wedding or reception can be complete. The happy couple first cuts the wedding cake and symbolically offers each other a bite of the elaborate tiered extravaganza. The cake is a traditional part of the western wedding celebration, and not just some party food. The design of the wedding cake has to be planned in advance. If you wish to have a unique design then you have to start planning way in advance, for the topper too.
The type of wedding cake topper, frosting and the size and shape of the cake are all important aspects of the wedding. Depending on your choice if you do not want to add a personalized wedding topper, it is absolutely your call. But considering that this is a once in a lifetime event, by adding them you can flaunt your personality and create a considerable impact on the centerpiece of the wedding ceremony reception.
Appropriate and to-the-theme:
For many years now, wedding cake toppers were little figures of a happy couple. These figures represented togetherness, which were normally put on top of the wedding cake. Most of the cake toppers even today depict the couple in formal attire who are to get married. Besides the photographs of the wedding, the cake topper is the only part of the cake that is retained over the years. A large number of people today still put cake toppers on the wedding cake and carry on the traditional way of celebration.
In contrast to the plain old bride and the groom displays today, there are more designs than what were seen earlier - bolder and more thought provoking. These range from elegant toppers to the funny displays. If you decide to have a wedding cake topper then have something that is most appropriate to the theme and style of the wedding reception needs to be picked. To create monogrammed personalized cake topper you can possibly use your initials or you can consider picking cake toppers that are traditional if you are going to have formal wedding grandeur.
If at all the couple disagrees on the type of cake topper for the cake then the best choice would be to have simple, ready-made toppers instead. For those interested in an informal wedding reception you can pick something that reflects the hobbies of the groom or the bride. There can be nothing better than adding a pair of playful dolphins depicting an aquatic theme to the wedding cake and the wedding reception. The other options are the 'going green' theme, equality for all and the 'house of our dreams' themes.
