The mature wedding cake topper market has definitely expanded, and there's something for every style and aesthetic (look out for a same-sex mature wedding cake topper - they're gaining in popularity as well!). A mature wedding cake topper also makes a great gift for a couple you love who might be celebrating a wedding, anniversary, or vow renewal. A mature wedding cake topper is just the right accessory for decorating a home that is new or familiar to the happy couple. There's always room for a mature wedding cake topper.   Your mature wedding cake topper is a wonderful addition to a party space regardless of the occasion.

Rustic Wedding Cake Toppers

A Romantic Cake Topper: As Love Is

Finding the Right Romantic Cake Topper

Romantic Cake Topper

A romantic cake topper is just what a wedding needs to give it an intimate, lovey feeling for the entirety of the evening. A romantic cake topper doesn’t just feature a bride and groom (or a bride and a bride or a groom and a groom) standing next to each other stoically and dutifully – it shows two people in love. Whether it be through holding hands or small, gentle caresses, a romantic cake topper is what it really means to be in love. If cake toppers are supposed to portray you and your significant other as you really are, a romantic cake topper is the only way to go.   A romantic cake topper shouldn’t be hard to find, either, as cake topper varieties have gone through the roof. Your romantic cake topper options are as varied and vast as your wedding design options, and you can find the right romantic cake topper for you. A romantic cake topper is also a wonderful addition to your home one the wedding festivities are over. Because a romantic cake topper is often positioned in a unique way (hanging off the side of the cake, or maybe positioned horizontally instead of vertically), they add dimension to your mantle or other display surface. A romantic cake topper makes a great addition to your wedding, your home, and your life.

Culture and Elegance with Pewter Wedding Cake Toppers

Pewter Wedding Cake Toppers for your Day

 

Pewter Wedding Cake Toppers

Fans of the Renaissance Faire know exactly what the importance of pewter is. Pewter is found in models, figurines, drinking cups, and in every little accessory in between. Pewter is a wonderful material in its ability to appear old and weathered when it’s band new – it lends a feel of age and fantasy to something that would ordinarily look… well… ordinary. So why not order pewter wedding cake toppers while you’re pewtering everything else?   Pewter wedding cake toppers add a hint of age and elegance to your pastry topper territory, and they always fit in at any sort of wedding – especially those in costume! (but they don’t have to be). Add pewter wedding cake toppers that fit the theme by finding styles that include dragons, creeping vines, and notable characters of the lore (Robin Hood and Maid Marion, Romeo and Juliet, etc). Even if you can’t hold your wedding at the Faire like you really wanted to, pewter wedding cake toppers bring the spirit of the culture to the top of your wedding cake (or escort card table, or dessert buffet). Also, imagine how beautiful pewter wedding cake toppers will look beside the rest of your pewter figurines! Let pewter wedding cake toppers be a part of your life!

Art and Versatility in Abstract Wedding Cake Toppers

Abstract Wedding Cake Toppers for an Adventurous Wedding

Abstract Wedding Cake Toppers

Some couples don’t really want traditional cake toppers: toppers that feature what you might expect from the top of a wedding cake. For more adventurous couples, abstract wedding cake toppers are what really embody the look and feel of a truly artistic wedding. What are abstract wedding cake toppers? Well, much like many works of modern art, abstract wedding cake toppers chose to represent love in new and exciting ways through interesting aesthetics and symbolic expression. Abstract wedding cake toppers experiment with color and shape to show you the union of two people in a way you wouldn’t expect on top of your cake. In a way, abstract wedding cake toppers are a whole new kind of art. What’s really wonderful about abstract wedding cake toppers (aside from their departure from the mundane) is their versatility. Abstract wedding cake toppers are more “figurine” than topper, and they won’t look out of place anywhere at your wedding – or in your home. Abstract wedding cake toppers fit in wonderfully on a sweetheart table, at the bar, or right where it was intended – the top of a beautifully decorated wedding cake.   Your abstract wedding cake toppers will fit beautifully into the décor of your modern home as well – be sure to give it a place of honor!

Your Traditional Wedding Cake Topper

A Traditional Wedding Cake Topper for your Nuptials

Traditional Wedding Cake Topper

You don't have to be engaging in a typical wedding or a "traditional" marriage in order to enjoy a traditional wedding cake topper. A traditional wedding cake topper is perfect for any wedding occasion, and is "traditional" only in the sense that it makes a nostalgic and elegant touch to your big day. A traditional wedding cake topper could feature a same-sex couple, couples of different and mixed ethnicities, and every other grouping under the sun. A traditional wedding cake topper often refers only to the pose and style of the figurine. A traditional wedding cake topper will feature a bride and a groom (or a groom and a groom and a bride and a bride) embracing in a tactful manner atop a beautifully decorated iced confection (or dessert table or otherwise). Be sure when you order your traditional wedding cake topper that you've already talked to your wedding cake baker and you know what to expect. Make sure the surface you're placing your traditional wedding cake topper on is sturdy and solid - no one like a topper sinking half way into the top tier of German chocolate!   A traditional wedding cake topper is "traditional" only in style and aesthetic - all couples can enjoy and employ them!

Reflect your Personalities with Casual Cake Toppers

Casual Cake Toppers Work for Any Style

Casual Cake Toppers

Want a cake topper for your special day but you’re not sure if the typical hand-holding bride and groom are really your style? Many brides who are hosting more casual affairs sometimes have this problem. Luckily, there are many casual cake toppers for the laid-back couple who aren’t looking for anything fancy on their wedding day.   Casual cake toppers go great for the couple looking for a piece for their cake that doesn’t have quite the stuffiness of some traditional cake toppers. Casual cake toppers often feature couples in laid-back positions with their shoes off engaged in a little PDA (but nothing that would give grandma a heart attack!). Casual cake toppers might still feature a bride and groom in their traditional wedding garb (suit, white dress, etc), but that doesn’t mean that you have to match outfits on your big day. If you’re having a fancy to-do with some casual cake toppers to show your chilled side, that’s cool too. Casual cake toppers are more about the spirit of the couple than the actual reflection of the day’s garb. Casual cake toppers reflect who you and your new spouse are as a couple: chilled, relaxed, and ready for a lifetime of married bliss!

Symbolism and Tradition: Your Claddagh Cake Topper

Get Your Irish on with a Claddagh Cake Topper

Claddagh Cake Topper

The Irish “Claddagh” ring is rooted with deep symbolism and meaning for those who wear it. It has come to not only denote friendship and love, but a strong sense of Irish pride. You don’t have to be Irish to wear a Claddagh ring, however – and the same goes for the popular Claddagh cake topper.   For your wedding, consider the beautiful meaning and symbolism of a Claddagh cake topper. Though the ring originated in Claddagh, Ireland, the symbol has permeated cultures around the world. Let your Claddagh cake topper mean as much as your wedding rings – why shouldn’t it? A Claddagh cake topper, much like the ring itself, is a symbol of marriage, love, and friendship. The heart of the Claddagh cake topper represents love, while the hands denote friendship and the crown symbolizes loyalty. All elements of a wedding are deeply rooted in symbolism, and your Claddagh cake topper fits the bill. Though you won’t be able to position it to the specificity that you might be able to do to a ring (I’m afraid that the heart points to where it wants – there’s no finger to position it on to denote your relationship status!), it works just the same. We’ll just assume that your Claddagh cake topper is on your left hand, pointed toward you – you are taken, after all!
