How to Choose a Wedding Cake Topper and Design Suitable for Your Wedding Theme

Before the wedding cake can be checked off the wedding to-do list as being "complete" or even be considered completely perfect by the happy couple, there still needs to be one element to top it all off--the wedding cake topper--which can be either edible or a decorative piece, like a wedding figurine that the bride and groom can keep after the wedding. A wedding cake topper that doubles as a decorative piece needs to be able to coordinate with the rest of the wedding theme and even the wedding cake itself, but how can this all be accomplished?  

Wedding Cake Topper Coordination

A personalized wedding with inexpensive and affordable decor is still going to be just as memorable and perfect as a wedding where thousands were spent on the decor alone. One of the smaller pieces that can really set the theme is the wedding cake topper. Here are the best aspects of a wedding cake topper to consider coordinating with the rest of the wedding as well as the cake itself. For vintage or quirky weddings, consider a different kind of wedding cake topper that includes animals rather than humans. One of the most common animals used in wedding decor happens to be birds, but certain types of toppers can look vintage or absolutely elegant with cats or dogs. Look at the core colors of the wedding cake topper because it can tie the theme together, as well as match the cake itself. Whether the wedding colors happen to be dark brown and blue or yellow and white, pick the topper or have a topper created with the main colors of the big day.  

A Wedding Cake Topper for Every Style

A wedding that is both elegant and minimal can still have a cake topper that isn't seen as "over the top." In fact there are minimal toppers, which happen to be the traditional bride and groom or even the couple's monograms. For a chic and trendy wedding that isn't stuck in tradition, there are wedding cake toppers available! Pictures of the couple can be used and chic designs can also be included to complement the theme. Sometimes it feels as though something is missing on the wedding cake, and usually that's the wedding cake topper that sits at the top of the cake. It can truly make or break the overall wedding decor and theme and thankfully a unique wedding cake topper doesn't have to cost hundreds of dollars either.
