Trends in Wedding Cake Toppers
Wedding cakes are more and more important to brides these days. They not only want their cake to taste great, but they want the wedding cake to be the ultimate expression of their wedding theme. The design of your wedding cake is not complete until you have chosen the perfect cake topper.
A lot of couples forgo the traditional cake topper in favor of other designs. One easy way to dress us your cake is with fresh flowers. They are always beautiful, and if you are looking to keep expenses down, fresh flowers are a fraction of the cost of sugar flowers. A bouquet of roses in your wedding colors will look lovely atop a simple wedding cake.
More elaborate cakes call for more elaborate toppers. One of the hottest trends these days is monograms. You can have a custom monogram designed with the bride and groom’s initials to stand atop your wedding cake. Brides love sparkle, and many of these cake toppers feature even more dazzle than the crystal bridal jewelry that they wear. A crystal or rhinestone monogram on your wedding cake is a great tie-in to your bridal jewelry and other design elements. It also just looks fabulous!
Some couples like to pick a cake topper that expresses their silly side or shows one of their favorite things. If you love Disneyworld, then choose a cake topper with Mickey and Minnie Mouse or Cinderella and Prince Charming. One wedding I attended had a little figurine from The Simpson’s where the bride and groom would normally stand on the cake. The cake topper is a fun way to inject your personality into the wedding.
Whatever you choose for your cake topper, don’t forget that tradition says the newlyweds should save the top layer of their cake and freeze it to share on their first anniversary. If the idea of eating year old cake doesn’t appeal to you, then save the original cake to look at, but order a tiny replica from your baker to eat on your anniversary. This can be the start of a very sweet tradition!

The current trend in weddings is to personalize everything. Couples want each and every detail to be unique and to reflect who they are. One great way to achieve this is with monograms.
You can have almost anything (and everything!) monogrammed. Invitations, napkins, matchbooks, favors, wedding cakes, and hankies are just a few of the wedding elements that can be customized. You can even have your initials and wedding date done in crystals on the bottom of your bridal shoes (how fun is that?).
It is great to give your attendants monogrammed bridesmaid gifts (done with their monogram, not the bride’s!). There are many wonderful choices for bridesmaid gifts to personalize. Sterling silver bracelets are a classic gift, as are tote bags (which you could fill with girly treats, like fancy bath products). A unique option is monogrammed shell jewelry. It makes a perfect gift for a beach wedding.
If you can dream it, you can customize it. Couples seeking true drama can even have their names projected in colored light onto the dance floor. This is an over the top way to make your wedding completely personal. It is the type of detail that will set your wedding apart and make it truly unforgettable, which is just what every bride and groom want.
