There are a lot of factors that go into your perfect wedding cake, not the least of which is the topper. Traditionally wedding cake toppers were simply a representation of the bride and groom standing side by side, but now there are many more opportunities to show your unique personalities.

Many brides these days are opting not to go with the traditional topper at all. Fake pearls, fruits, or flowers can all make a lovely addition to your cake. You can use your wedding flowers if you'd like the cake to match, or find a new set of flowers specifically for the cake. If you have a particularly skilled baker or prefer simpler lines, you may just want to let the icing work speak for itself and forgo toppers altogether to give your cake a modern look.

If your wedding is going to be an elegant affair, there are a number of toppers that will tie you cake in with this theme. There are many single color toppers that depict a bride and groom in simple, elegant lines that will fit nicely with your theme. You may also want to look at monogram toppers or figures of intertwined hearts or doves.

Of course the classic style toppers are still available if you wish to be more traditional. A simple side by side bride and groom might be just what you are looking for. If you feel like taking this look further, you can also get bridesmaids and groomsmen for your cake to represent the entire wedding party. Usually there is a small staircase set up on the cake or at the side for these to stand on, if you choose to go that route.

If you casual is more your style, there are quite a few casual and even comedic cake toppers. You can find toppers depicting you reeling you groom in, the two of you victoriously climbing your cake and any number of other humorous options. What better way to depict the casual nature of your wedding than to have the cake topper figurines sitting barefoot on the edge of your cake.

If you have a particular theme in mind, you may want to tie your topper in as well. Almost anything you can imagine is available. Western themes, precious moments, and Disney character toppers are all options. In order to find your perfect topper, get an idea of what your looking for and do a google images search. Among the results you will certainly be able to find something you like. Most of these wedding cake toppers are available online rather than in stores, so you may have to purchase over the internet to get exactly what you want. If you have more of an exact picture in mind, some companies will custom make toppers to your specifications, whether you had a particular design in mind, or just wanted them to look more like you and your groom. Your wedding cake topper has the potential to be as unique as you are. It is limited by nothing but your own imagination.
