Choosing a Wedding Cake Topper - What's the Best Kind for You?

Wedding cake toppers have come a long way from the flower adornments of yesteryear. Today's brides have a plethora of wedding cake toppers to choose from. With so many choices, which will you choose? Which cake topper style reflects your personality?

Traditional Bride

Brides with a traditional bridal style tend to gravitate towards wedding cake toppers that are, well, "traditional" such as bride and groom figurines, dove cake toppers, and heart cake toppers. These types of toppers are often made of porcelain.



Whimsical Bride

The whimsical bride loves to share her sense of humor every chance she gets and her wedding day is no exception. She has no problem poking fun at the fact that she's succeeded in getting a reluctant groom to the altar. The choices available to her include a bride reeling in her groom with a fishing pole or dragging the groom to the altar. There are even cake toppers that show a bride carrying the groom over her shoulder.

The whimsical bride also opts for cake toppers that show off either her or her new husband's hobbies or quirks. If the bride is expecting to be a "sports widow" she can select a cake topper that shows her exasperation with her new husband's obsession with golf, soccer or hockey. There's even a cake topper for the bride who's a self-proclaimed "shopaholic".



Modern Bride

Brides with a modern bridal style look for cake toppers that are trendy and sophisticated. They often find traditional cake toppers boring and lacking in style. What kinds of toppers fit the bill for these girls? Toppers with clean lines and a bit of sparkle are likely to be found atop a modern bride's wedding cake. These can include personalized toppers such as the couple's initials in jewels, silver, or tin.



Princess Bride

For the bride who has found her Prince Charming and wants her wedding reception to be reminiscent of Cinderella at the ball, there are castle cake toppers, and toppers that resemble a tiara. The princess bride will choose a cake topper that says "fairy tale".



Cultural Pride Bride

For the bride who wants to celebrate her Big Day as well as her heritage, there are culturally themed wedding cake toppers. Many of these toppers contain the traditional symbols associated with the culture.



Whichever type of wedding cake topper you choose, be sure to consider the overall theme of your reception, including your color scheme. The topper should also complement the design of your wedding cake. Although you want your cake topper to stand out, you don't want it to do so for the wrong reason.
