Remember the old fashioned wedding cake topper that consisted of a little plastic miniature of a bride and groom on top of an all white cake? The little bride and groom may have been under a little arch or just standing by themselves. Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of wedding cake topper actually used in a wedding, but then again, that could just be me. Brides today are going for different, unique and something different than what their parents and grandparents have done for years. Wedding cake toppers are a great way to add some extra style and grace to your wedding cake. There are many different kinds of wedding cake toppers you can choose from, and here are some great ideas of some popular choices today.
Fresh Flowers
Flowers are always a popular choice for wedding cakes. They add grace and beauty to your wedding cake as well as having the added benefit of giving off a bit of color to match your other wedding colors. Fresh flowers are something you can work out with your florist to handle. You can have flowers on top of your cake as well as cascading down the side, or placed on each layer of your wedding cake. The choices are endless, and if you want to go this way, talk to your florist and bakery, and they will have plenty of ideas of what you can do, and what they have done in the past.
Your New Monogram
This is something that my husband and I used on our wedding cake. I visited several sites on the Internet and ordered letters to create our new families monogram. Then, it was very simple to just push it down into the cake, and the effects were beautiful. The only thing you need to consider here is how wide the letters are, and the circumference of the top layer of your cake. If you look at the picture above, that is a picture of our wedding cake, and what the monogram looks like on the cake.
Miscellaneous
One thing that brides love to do today is to make everything unique to them. I’ve seen firefighter brides stick small fire engines on their wedding cake, and I’ve even seen fruit used as wedding cake toppers as well. Colored leaves for fall, plastic cranberries and pine cones for a Christmas wedding, and even a small cowboy hat for a cowboy wedding.
Wedding cake toppers are beautiful, and they really add a lot to your wedding cake. Many people today are also choosing not to have a wedding cake topper at all. Depending on the kind of wedding cake that you choose, you may not need a wedding cake topper.

Consider your wedding cake, your tastes, and what you love before making your decision. As always, if you need more information or advice, feel free to comment and let me know!

Are you wanting to make a style statement on your wedding day with a wedding dress that is different from what every other bride will be wearing? Have you considered looking at vintage wedding dresses. Vintage wedding dresses can add a real extra touch to your wedding day look. Vintage wedding dresses never go out of style, and they are timeless and glamorous without going overboard at all. One of the things I love about vintage wedding dresses is that they remind you of a glamorous and more romantic era, when things were so much different. These wedding dresses are getting harder and harder to find as they get older, but if you can find one, you’ll see that they are exquisitely made with lace, synthetic linings and veils that are unique in their style and even in their embroidery. So if you’re looking for some great vintage wedding dresses in your area, and need some places to look, here are a few great places to get started.
