Unique Wedding Cake Toppers

Granted, you've made so many decisions by now, what's one more? As you sigh, and think - I don't want to blow this one, it's going to be in pictures -
we thought we'd give you a quick lesson in how to pick.

First, know yourself and your groom. What pleases you both? Are you inclined to the comical side? Or are you a more traditional couple? Is your style contemporary, or cutesy?

Second, you do need to consider the size, and style of the wedding cake. Putting an enormous bouquet on a single tier cake that is meant to feed 12 people, is definitely going to dwarf the cake.

And third, take into consideration the theme for the wedding, if you have one. A snowflake caketopper at a beach wedding (which, hey, if it's what you like...) would look out of place.

When in doubt, research, research, research. Take your time to find the topper that's right for you. After all it's your wedding.

Everyone has their own idea of the perfect wedding day. Some people are very straight-laced, and that's great if that's the real you! (If it is, jump down to Serious Folks Only). But if you're the girl that has everyone laughing, and your groom has the same sense of humor, consider expressing yourselves with a more comical and much less traditional caketopper.

Ok. So Mom and Dad are paying the tab and really want you to have a more "traditional" caketopper. Not a problem. You can still express yourselves as a couple. Consider an engraved caketopper, add your photo to personalize it, or top the cake with your initials! Elegant tradition with a modern twist.

Hmmm. So the traditional is more to your liking and it's not Mom and Dad's idea? Kudos to you for knowing what you like. From the elegant bride and groom, to the cuter Precious Moments bride and groom, we can help you find the traditional caketopper that suits your wedding.

We understand that couples come in all ethnicities, and genders. Mix and Match caketoppers are the perfect solution for the couple that wants a true reflection of their union. Let your cake topper be representative of your union. You know what you want. Don't settle for something less. It's your wedding - do it up right.

The average caketopper can run anywhere from $20 to $50. While we would love to have you buy from us, we realize that isn't the only reason you're on Squidoo. Expenses for weddings can run high - we know. We'd still like to help you with some more creative "homemade" ideas. So here are a couple of cost-effective alternatives.

The first one is from MarthaStewart.com. There are three suggestions - a dove caketopper, a horseshoe caketopper, a quilled caketopper.

A second suggestion comes from AppleBride.com This site is not for specific caketopper, but if you have an inkling of ingenuity, you can put your own spin on these basic directions.

Our last suggestion, which we are certain you've already considered, is to use fresh flowers as your caketopper. Fresh flowers on a wedding cake can be truly beautiful.

We don't profess to know it all, but the better half of this business is really artsy. Kim is Martha Stewart on steroids. If you need an idea, or want an objective opinion (seriously, not your mother's answer) Just ask Kim.
