Ensure That Your Wedding Cake Toppers Reflect The Two Of You

When you are planning a wedding, there are a thousand things that you have to think about, not simply in respect of the marriage ceremony, but for your reception as well. It goes without saying of course that one thing that no wedding reception would ever be complete without is the wedding cake.

The cake is not merely 'party food', but forms a traditional part of your wedding celebration, with the bride and groom cutting the first piece of cake and symbolically 'feeding' each other.

Naturally you will wish to think about your cake design far in advance of your wedding, from the kind of cake you will want to the type of frosting and the style of wedding cake toppers you will wish to adorn the cake.

Now wedding cake toppers are not of course essential and you could do without them. However, putting them on your wedding cake can be an expression of your personality and make a marked different to the affect of this focal point of your reception.

But precisely what is a wedding cake topper?

For a very long time now, wedding cake toppers have been the little bride and groom figures that are generally placed on the top of a wedding cake to signify togetherness. Traditionally, wedding cake toppers show the happy couple in formal attire and are generally the only part of the cake that can be preserved through the years, apart from photographs of course. These toppers were at their most popular during the 1950s, though the majority of brides and grooms continue to put them on their cakes.

So, what type of topper should we select?

These days, there are a lot more designs for wedding cake toppers than the plain old bride and groom and these range from the humerous to the elegant. If you wish to have wedding cake toppers then choose something that is appropriate for both the style and theme of your reception and for you. If you are having a formal wedding then you might consider choosing the time-honored toppers or possibly use your initials to create a 'monogrammed' cake topper. Simple wedding cake toppers such as these can also be a good choice if you and your fianc� are finding it hard to agree on the right toppers.

If you would like to have a more relaxed and informal reception then you might feel that you would like to pick a comical wedding cake topper or something that appeals to hobbies or interests that you and your new spouse share. Or, if you have picked a particular theme for your reception then look for toppers that support 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.

Just make sure that the toppers selected fit with the design of the cake and, if you are still in doubt then allow the artistry of your cake to speak for itself and leave the toppers.

This said, with such an enormous range of wedding cakes toppers to choose from nowadays it is hard to imagine that you will not find the perfect wedding cake topper.
