Wedding cake toppers didnt used to be as popular for weddings as they are today. More and more they are becoming as vital as the wedding cake itself and are one of the quickest growing areas for the wedding gift market.
Once over, wedding cake toppers just used to be in the form of a generic bride and groom couple. Now, though a wedding cake topper can be custom designed to the bride and groom's requirements which really makes the wedding cake even more unique. Personalised wedding cake toppers that are constructed from sugar paste or clay can be crafted to look like copies of the happy couple even including their wedding day outfits. Grooms can be styled wearing kilts, military uniforms or their favourite football team kit! Brides can be made wearing their wedding dresses, tiaras and veils and even down to hair styles and the flowers used in their bridal bouquet.
They can even be themed around the time of year that they are getting married such as Christmas or Valentines Day or if it is a beach wedding in some far flung exotic location. Family members and beloved pets can be added for that extra special touch. Many of the more popular cake toppers seem to be funny and humourous to reflect the bride and groom's personalities.
Once the wedding cake is eaten a cake topper can be kept as a wonderful keepsake and memento of one of the most special days two people will ever have. A new trend for 2010 is for monogrammed wedding cake toppers. This kind of wedding cake decoration started in the USA and very few British and European retailers seem to have them available yet although one of my favourite gift retailers is at the forefront for this again! They are normally made from brushed steel or acrylic and all of the alphabet and some numbers are available. Monogram wedding cake toppers usually include the initials of the bride and groom i.e. M & P.
What makes them really special though and what I believe is driving their popularity is that they are hand decorated with Swarovski crystals which match your wedding day theme. These crystal cake toppers really do create the wow factor sat on the top of your wedding cake to really add some bling!
There is a wedding cake topper to suit every taste and every budget!
