A Selection Of Modern Cake Topper Ideas

If you are looking for an original cake topper to place on top of your wedding cake, this article will give you ideas and inspiration to find the perfect topper to represent you and your sweetheart. Of course, being a florist, I would recommend a combination of a pre-made cake topper as well as fresh flowers at the base of the cake, on top of the cake and any other other prominent location on the cake.

Traditional Cake toppers

Cake toppers have traditionally been a plastic or ceramic bride and groom. Although they are still widely available, many bride and groom toppers are now more modern and less tacky when they are shaped with clean modern lines. Other traditional yet modern ideas include stylish hearts and contemporary interpretations of bride and groom figurines holding each other.

Themed toppers

If you have chosen a theme for your wedding it is a good idea to bind your theme together through your cake decor. From tropical palm trees, to western bride and grooms, to castle themes to Chinese characters, you can most often find the perfect topper to represent your theme.

Customized toppers

Cake tops can now be customized in many different ways such as a glass heart in which you can put a cherished photo of you and your loved one or an etched initial of your new last name or an engraved cake topper with both your first names.

Floral Topper

Your topper can completely be made of flowers. You can make it yourself or hire a florist to make it. Floral cake toppers are often constructed on a cake top Iglu which is a floral foam inside a plastic holder specially designed to fit perfectly on the majority of wedding cakes. Simply coordinate your floral cake topper with the other flowers in your wedding and this cake topper is a surefire hit.

Humorous Toppers

Toppers can reflect humor such as statuettes of the bride and groom in different positions such as: the bride pulling the groom onto the cake, the groom looking at his watch with his golf clubs, the bride fishing for the groom, etc.

Ethnic Toppers

Your topper could also express your ethnicity. You can now choose Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian or African American bride and grooms cake toppers.

Customized Hair and Eye Color

You can customize your cake top to reflect you and your new husband's hair and eye color. For example, if the bride has blond hair and the groom is bald, you can choose those two separate figurines and put them together to create your cake topper. The possibilities are endless.
