Weddings are lavish affairs that take pride in details. Every facet is thought about when planning a wedding, from invitation styles to one of the stars of wedding decor, the wedding cake. Wedding cakes are in all sorts of styles and trends now, and wedding cake tops have followed suit.

It gained prominence in the 1950s and is still done today, although the designs vary wildly based on the couple's tastes. These figurines may be kept after the festivities have finished as a reminder of the great day. Traditional models have the bride in a stately, white bridal dress, while the groom is wearing a formal black suit.

Designs that Show Occupations


A playful idea for wedding cake tops is designing the top so that the bridal couple appear in their work uniforms. This is a interesting way to show pride in your or your spouses careers. A good example of honoring someone's accomplishments would be having the bride or groom be dressed in military, army, or other service clothes if either or both served time protecting their country. Police, Paramedics along with many other occupations can also be shown.

Tailor made, Special Designs


Designs specific to the wedding couple make the tops special. The couple figurines are able to be modelled to look the same as the bridal couple. There are a number of businesses offering this type of customization, so it is a popular option. It will always be amusing to observe wedding guests recognizing faces on the cake topper.

Themed Ideas


There's been a surge of wedding design recently. With this are intricate themes that are expressed in anything from napkins, chairs, tables, and even bridesmaid's and bride's dresses. With cake toppers it is possible to take your wedding theme even further, and tie absolutely everything in. As an example, if you have an ocean or sea theme, you might have the bride as a mermaid and the groom as a pirate. The ways to be creative are endless.
