Wedding Cake Toppers

Wedding cake toppers are the icing on the, well... on the icing on the cake!

Wedding cake toppers may be an edible decoration incorporated into your wedding cake design by the hands of a skilled designer. They may also be figurines or other creations formed in glass, crystal, porcelain or a variety of other materials. These cake toppers can become permanent keepsakes of your wedding day and many are beautiful enough to warrant prominent display in your home.

Theme Wedding Cake Toppers

If you are planning a theme wedding, your cake topper can contribute to the atmosphere.

For a medieval theme wedding, consider a knight and maiden atop your cake.

Fairytale theme wedding cake toppers can feature castles or intricately formed pairs of dragons.

Cake toppers can be in the form of the Irish Clauddagh, the Scottish Lukenbooth and the Celtic Cross.

Are you wearing a Cinderella wedding dress? Then a replica of the Cinderella coach or glass slipper can help carry your theme.

Beach and nautical theme weddings leave myriad options for coordinating wedding cake toppers, such as seahorses, dolphins, lighthouses, sailboats, scuba divers and even mer-maids/men.

Western wedding cake toppers can range from a whimsical cowboy and cowgirl bride and groom, to intricately wrought icons of the west, such as wolves and horses. Western boots may also be used as western wedding cake toppers.

Winter Wedding Cake Toppers

A winter wedding offers fabulous opportunities for cake toppers to reflect the time of year, from intricate glass and crystal snowflake toppers to whimsical snow people as bride and groom. Glass seems especially suited to this theme, capturing and reflecting light like icicles. If you plan on having ice sculpture at your wedding, consider a glass cake topper to match your carving (or having a sculpture made to match your cake topper!).

Military Wedding Cake Toppers

Military and naval weddings call for extra special cake toppers, such as crystal or glass sculptures including dress uniform with two sabers crossed and mounted behind the couple or, for the naval wedding, an anchor mounted behind them. Double anchors are also en elegant topper.
