Ideas For Wedding Cake Toppers

Wedding cake toppers are the most distinctive feature of your wedding cake. These little decorations add personality and pizzazz to even the most traditional of wedding cakes, and they can really tie your whole cake table together. You can use a traditional bride and groom topper or go with something more sleek and modern. Before you decide what to put on top of your DIY wedding cake or the one that the bakery is making for you, check out some of these ideas.

Flowers for a fresh look

Flowers are ever-popular wedding cake toppers.  They're versatile, elegant and can easily fit with any style of wedding, be it traditional or modern. 

Fresh flowers are the cheapest way to decorate your cake.   A simple arrangement can cost less than £10 or a few petals or individual flowers, less than £5.  You could also use fresh flowers that match those from your bouquet, or if you want a truly unique topper, try using edible flowers like violets.

Iced flowers also make a very pretty wedding cake topper.  Intricate, delicate and always look stunning, you can pay a professional to create a unique arrangement, buy one ready-made or ask an experienced relative or friend to make one for you. 

Monogram for a sleek look

Flowers are pretty traditional toppers, but monogram wedding toppers are very popular right now, and they go well with many of today’s sleek, fondant cakes. You can easily find a monogram of just you and your husband’s last name online, or you could try eBay.

A little more expensive than this is a popular monogram style that incorporates the bride and groom’s first initials along with a larger version of their last initial. You can get these custom made from factories that make a lot of these monogram toppers fairly cheaply. They can also make great keepsakes.

Bride and groom topper for a traditional look

When most people think of wedding cake toppers, the image that probable comes to mind immediately is that of the traditional bride and groom cake topper. These toppers feature a bride in white and a groom in a tux dancing or smiling side-by-side. Because these involve more detail, they’re usually a little more expensive, but they can be worth it if you want a fantastic cake.

Custom made toppers for a chic look

If you really want to invest in a wedding cake topper that is going to last a lifetime, consider getting a custom made topper. Luckily, your cake topper can be just about anything. You can get a wooden sculpture, a clay sculpture, or a bride and groom styled to look just like you and your fiancé. Look around at artsy shops in your area to get ideas about what kinds of artists could make a cake topper for you. This will be the most expensive option for sure, but if you want a truly meaningful cake topper, it’s definitely a good choice.
