Jewish Wedding Cake Toppers - A Ritual to Remember

 

A major cornerstone is the Jewish life cycle is marriage and
Jewish wedding cake toppers are another special detail. Laws and traditions are associated with Jewish weddings and a series of rituals lead up to the big day. A couple celebrates their heritage by perfecting the ritual of cutting the cake with Jewish cake toppers.

Jewish Wedding Cake Toppers 

A week before the wedding, preparations begin. The groom takes part in the Ufruf ceremony, where he announces his wedding to the synagogue and is showered with sweets. The bride visits the Mikveh, a ritual bath to cleanse herself and enter into marriage pure. Jewish wedding cake toppers should be chosen by now because the bride and groom are not supposed to see one another for a week.

The marriage takes place under a chupa, a canopy that represents the wedding home. On the wedding day, the couple fasts to cleanse themselves of sin and make a fresh start together. A rabbi conducts the ceremony or it is done by a chosen friend or family member with a rabbi present. Men usually wear a morning suit or black tie attire with women choosing a white wedding dress. Orthodox women may be more modest in their wedding selections. A traditional Jewish bride and groom cake topper captures the spirit of the special couple. When the couple cuts the cake and feed it to one another, the Jewish bride and groom will look on approvingly in photos.

The Ketubah is a marriage contract that began thousand of years ago in the Jewish wedding tradition. The Ketubah was intended to protect the dowry of the bride. A humorous Jewish wedding cake topper with a modern spin is an exasperated bride with a surprised groom. Guests will really be amused by a `still shopping` message cake topper instead of the exasperated bride, showing the lady is ready to shop her dowry away.

Seven is a significant number in Jewish weddings, with seven glasses of wine drunk throughout the ceremony and celebration. Seven represents the bride building spiritual walls of the new home just as God used seven days to create the world. To represent this new home together, a fairy tale dreams castle cake topper expresses the moment in a unique way.

During the reception, kosher food may be served. Other popular menu choices include a fish or vegetarian meal. Jewish music is played with dancing to traditional songs called the Hora. During the traditional cake cutting ceremony, Jewish wedding cake toppers make the moment. A fashionable bride and groom cake topper combines style with tradition.
