When you are arranging your wedding, there are a million things that you need to think about, not simply for the marriage ceremony, but also for the reception. It hardly needs to be said of course, but one thing which is essential to any wedding reception is the wedding cake itself.
The cake is not simply 'party food', but forms a traditional element of the wedding celebration, with the bride and groom cutting the first piece of cake and offering each other a bite.
Clearly you would wish to think about the style and design of your cake far in advance of the wedding, from the kind of cake you want to the type of frosting and the style of wedding cake toppers you wish to adorn the cake.
Now wedding cake toppers are not of course essential and you could simply omit them. However, adding them to your wedding cake can allow you express your personality and make a considerable different to the impact of what is arguably the centerpiece of your reception.
But just what is a wedding cake topper?
For many years, wedding cake toppers have been the small figures of the bride and groom which are generally placed on top of a wedding cake in order to represent togetherness. By custom, wedding cake toppers depict the couple in formal attire and are often the only part of the cake which can be preserved through the years, apart of course from the photographs and any video of the day. These toppers were at their most popular during the 1950s, though very many couples continue to put them on their cakes.
So, what type of wedding cake topper should I select?
Now, there are far more designs for wedding cake toppers than the simple bride and groom and these range from the naughty to the highly artistic. If you want to use wedding cake toppers then choose something which is appropriate for both the style and theme of your reception and for you. If your wedding is a formal affair then you might consider picking the time-honored toppers or possibly use your initials to create a 'monogrammed' topper. Simple wedding cake toppers such as these can also be the best choice when you and your partner are having difficulty agreeing on the right toppers.
If you want to have a more informal and relaxed reception then you might feel that you would like to pick a comical wedding cake topper or something which appeals to hobbies that you and your new spouse share. Alternatively, if you have selected a particular theme for your reception then go for wedding cake toppers which reflect this theme. For example, nothing can add a nicer touch to an 'aquatic' reception than wedding cake toppers in the form of a pair of dolphins together.
Just ensure that your toppers will work with the design of your cake and, if you are in any doubt then let the artistry of your cake speak for itself and leave off the toppers.
However, with such an extensive range of wedding cakes toppers to pick from nowadays it is difficult to believe that you will not find the perfect wedding cake topper.
