Today's bride and groom have an abundance of choices when it comes to cake toppers for their wedding cake. No longer are they limited to just a bride and groom sitting atop a cake - although this is definitely still the most popular choice. The modern cake gives you the option of fully customizing your topper to match your wedding party, your wedding theme, or you as a couple. Let's look at some topper choices that you might choose for your own wedding cake.

Simple Toppers

Some of the most beautiful and memorable toppers are simple and feature just the traditional bride and groom in an updated version. Another simple choice is the initial of the last name of the couple or a bride and groom in a monochrome color. These simple toppers provide just the right touch to the traditional wedding, and many couples opt to keep their wedding cake and their wedding low profile. Simple toppers are also a safe choice if you are unsure about what you want.

Unique Toppers

If you are a bit creative and want to try something different and more memorable while giving your guests something to think about - you might go for a more unique topper for your cake that is far from traditional. As an example, if the two of you share a particular fondness for a cartoon character, you can find cake toppers that feature that character - like Marge and Homer Simpson of the hit television series The Simpsons, or Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and dozens if not hundreds of others. Some brides have even incorporated a theme from a movie into the cake and the topper, or even a theme that goes with their intended wedding, like a Hawaiian bride and groom. Unique toppers can basically be anything that you like - or may not feature people or characters at all. Some people prefer a floral arrangement of fresh flowers to top their cakes with, with petals incorporated in the display. Some die-hard sports fans have a unique topper that represents their team allegiance, like a Cincinnati Reds wedding cake. The choice is yours and the memory is yours to make when it comes to cake toppers for your wedding.

Custom Toppers

A growing trend is to use a custom topper for your wedding cake. An artist will craft a miniature bride and groom based on photos of the two of you - which also provides you with a nice keepsake that will sure to be appreciated for years to come.
