In today's environment of multiple choices, wedding cake
toppers are now as unique and varied as your wardrobe or
style of toothbrush. People in general, and Americans especially,
love to add their own personal touches to wedding cakes,
not just the traditional plastic figures of the groom in
tux and the bride in a white dress.
The importance of the wedding cake, and the topper, are
second only to the Bride and Groom. All weddings have a
big, delicious cake to celebrate the union between man and
woman, this being a tradition dating back centuries. All
guests who attend expect to see, photograph and devour the
special dessert, and some may even want the topper!
The modern couple can spend hundreds, or even thousands
of dollars on their wedding cake. It is easily justifiable
that the modern soon-to-be-newlyweds desire uniqueness when
it comes to the wedding cake topper. There is no reason,
except tradition, to use the same old wedding toppers of
yesteryear.
The wedding cake topper is really an extension of the bride
and groom's personality and taste. It's their special day,
and what better way to remember that day than to have an
unorthodox topper.
Here are some varied and unusual Wedding Cake Topper ideas
-
1. The bride and groom's favorite football team. Maybe
a big helmet, or maybe, if they have opposing teams, two
big helmets.
2. Cinderella's groom putting the Glass Slipper on her
dainty foot.
3. How about a Nascar scene featuring the couple's favorite
racecar and driver? Of course, this could also have two
opposing racecars, maybe Ford vs. Chevy, if the couple has
differing tastes.
4. Or a Patriotic theme wedding cake topper with the bride
and groom in their military uniforms.
5. Animal lover? Wouldn't it be great to have Molly the
cat and Rufus the dog alongside their owners on the top
of the cake? Or a mare and stallion made of candy?
6. Ethnic/Cultural wedding cake toppers are in today as
well. Not just the Christian themes, but also Jewish, African-American,
Hispanic, Lesbian and gay are great examples of modern wedding
cake toppers.
7. Maybe you and your mate are huge fans of Harry Potter,
or are into Horror films-imagine Freddy Krueger and his
trademark knife-clad glove?
8. Some couples who already have children might have Spongebob-Squarepants
or even Big Bird as their cake toppers.
9. Add some bling to your wedding cake by topping it with
a big faux diamond wedding ring set, or even a model of
the home your going to be enjoying your honeymoon in!
10. Holiday toppers would be a terrific choice also-Christmas,
Thanksgiving, or gasp!-Halloween! Valentine's Day cake toppers
would be the sweetest of all!
Conclusion
Odd and unique wedding cake toppers are fast becoming the
norm in today's Age of Individuality, so why not have a
topper that you will remember and enjoy always? Most cake
shops should have many varied options nowadays, so shop
around; because both the cake and the topper are items that
will show off your tastes and personality. Consider those
things that are important to you as a couple, no matter
how odd they may be. It's your wedding, make that day as
memorable as possible by brainstorming through all the choices
you can, and then consider the costs and how you can lower
them by using your imagination so that you can afford a
cake big enough for all your guests! |
