The traditional wedding means long flowing white satin gowns, black tuxedos and tails, pretty pastel flowers, intricately decorated tables with fine linens and china, and a fairytale feeling with all the trimmings. The traditional wedding is elegant, romantic, and maybe even a bit subdued. Many traditional bride and groom cake toppers can also create this classic and romantic feeling as well. They are usually created out of painted white porcelain and the poses are typically of the bride and groom having their first kiss or taking their first dance.

Many couples choose to leave tradition at the wedding ceremony and lighten up the mood a little with funny bride and groom cake toppers rather than traditional ones. The most popular humorous style is of course the image of the groom dragging his feet as his enthusiastic bride drags him to the altar with zeal. While this is most certainly not how the groom actually feels about his new bride, it does add a fun and lighthearted touch to the wedding reception atmosphere and sets to the tone for the fun that should be had in celebration.

Some couples prefer to forego the typical wedding images and would prefer to choose bride and groom cake toppers that are more symbolic in nature. These non-traditional cake toppers go great with any style cake and can add a touch of class to any wedding theme. The most popular styles include the traditional Celtic knot and Claddaugh ring symbols of love and friendship. Even if you're not Irish, these ancient expressions of love are perfect on top of any wedding cake. You might also like the look of a symbol make out of Asian script that represents love or happiness. Both of these non-traditional bride and groom cake toppers are perfect for anyone who is drawn towards minimalist style.
