The Evolution of Wedding Cake Toppers

yhst-96972159295690_2083_14936695.gifTraditionally, a simple bride and groom figure was typically used as a wedding cake topper. This is mainly due to the lack of choices that used to be available. Fortunately, today’s bride has a much better selection of cake toppers that include a variety of elements.

These days, unique toppers can represent the ethnic background of the couple, blended families with children from previous relationships, letters that spell out poetic phrases or initials, as well as interests of the couple. Monogram or letter cake toppers are part of a popular new trend in decorating wedding cakes. With all of the letters of the alphabet available, composing a special message through this type of topper is very easy.

First off, the aesthetic element of these toppers can be found in the material that they are made. They can be decorated with things like plain or brushed metal (usually available in either silver or gold), rhinestones, or Swarovski crystals. Furthermore, adding written expressions to the visual appeal of a wedding cake through monogram toppers can also be done in a variety of ways.

Monogram cake toppers usually include the initials of the newly married couple, such as the first letter of both the bride and groom’s first name with the first letter of the newly married couple’s last name, which is usually centered in between the two first initials. This kind of topper can also be used by placing only the first letter of the newly married couple’s last name in the center of the cake to stand alone and make a bold statement.

Some couples enjoy involving their personality within various elements of their wedding. A great way to expose one’s hobbies, interests or personal styles is by using theme cake toppers. They provide an excellent way to portray and represent you, as a couple, on your big day.
So before deciding, make sure to check out different options and do your research on what toppers are out there. You will be sure to find something that matches your personal tastes and needs!
