Fairytale Wedding

You love your cake design.  You spent hours browsing and time working with the baker – there’s just something missing.  A perfect cake is complete with a perfect cake top.  Sure, your baker can create something from scratch, but what if…

You can’t loose with a romantic cake figurine.  In fact there’s Romantic, Vintage, Modern, Traditional or even Humorous all rolled into a line of new wedding cake tops by Wedding Star.

Sometimes a humorous wedding cake top just out of place at a classy, elegant or traditional wedding reception.  In this case, a humorous cake top may be the perfect addition to a bridal shower cake or the groom’s cake.

There are so many humorous and theme related wedding cake tops to choose from that there is sure to be one perfect for the bride or groom-to-be.  But please don’t get carried away!  If you are a friend or relative putting on the pre-wedding party it’s not a bad idea to get a general consensus on the cake or topper.  For instance, “naughty” cakes or a pregnant bride cake topper for the bachelorette party may not be the most-liked choice, especially by the guest of honor.

If your fairy tale wedding will be based on a fairy tale theme than you may be searching for the perfect wedding accessories and decorations.  Depending on the fairy tale of your choice, there are many items available for purchase, or of course, you can always choose to make (or have made) a custom item.

There are many fairy tale wedding cake toppers such as the princess kissing a frog or the frog prince figurine, not to mention the many styles of royal cake tops ranging from crowns and tiaras to majestic castles.  There are a couple of complete collections by Lillian Rose and Wedding Star that will compliment any fairy tale theme wedding with their simplistic, romantic style and “Happily Ever After” statements.

Even though a fairy tale wedding day may be every little princess’ dream, it can still be a grown-up Princess’ reality without leaving the impression of a little girl’s birthday party.  It’s all about the style of your event.

Let’s say you want the castle in the sky, fairy tale theme wedding.  A castle cake topper is a great idea.  But how do we guarantee a classy adult event?  White or ivory and glitter are invited, but stay away from pinks, purples and yellow.  Even if your wedding colors include these (that’s fine!) but generally an all white or ivory cake will be more appropriate for a wedding.  i think the pictures above say it all!

I expect there are thousands of cake topper styles to choose from any given wedding season.  Of course, this doesn’t count the uniquely hand-made  or original designs out there.  I’m talking about the cake toppers manufactured by such companies as Wilton, Wedding Star, Cathy’s Concepts, Hortense B. Hewitt, Lillian Rose…the list goes on.

If you are looking for a cake top that will coordinate with your theme or wedding colors, don’t expect that you won’t be able to find what you are looking for.  Classic and traditional tops still exist with some very unique modern twists, Themes in Western, Fairy Tale, Butterflies or Seasonal, Humorous and Sport related… If you are able to take the time to find the perfect cake topper, it is out there to be found!

Depending on the fairy tale wedding theme of your choosing, there are so many cake toppers available. But every princess bride-to-be knows that it’s not just the theme that needs to coordinate though, right?  What’s the style and colors of your fairy tale wedding?

Fairy tale wedding cake toppers can be made from porcelain or plastic or delightful confectionary.  If your baker designs or creates the cake top from fondant it will most likely coordinate with the cake the best.  However, it will boost the cost of your cake – and there is an alternative.  Why not choose your perfect cake topper, give it to your baker (along with your cake budget) and let the professional go from there!

As beautiful and perfect and romantic as your wedding day may be, there are only so many things that you can take with you to keep One of the most obvious and important are the photographs and guest book.  Aside from these things, is your wedding cake top – and I don’t mean the top of your wedding cake that traditionally should be consumed on your one year wedding anniversary!

Nope, I’m talking about the wedding cake topper.  The one that you chose for it’s beauty, humor or because it coordinated perfectly with you wedding day theme.  Display one of your favorite wedding day photos right along side your wedding cake topper with this wooden keepsake.

Cathy’s Concepts has created an all new style to their personalized cake toppers.  Before, they were personalized.  Now, these cake toppers are bold and vibrant and personalized!

Complete your wedding day look by adding matching wedding decorations including window and vase “clings”, dance floor decals and table runners!

Classic? Romantic? Theme oriented? Humorous? How about a couple’s hobby cake top?  Wedding cakes toppers come in all shapes and sizes (and then some)!  Thinking about what you want on the top of your wedding cake can seem like a daunting task.  Perhaps you let the cake baker design one or perhaps you’re thinking none at all may be easier?

The best thing to do is to start browsing.  Like everything else wedding-related; when you see your inspiration you’ll be unstoppable!  Your wedding cake top can be pretty much anything you want it to be, the only thing to watch for is size and style in relation to at least your cake if not your wedding style as well – vintage, country, modern, elegant, traditional, etc

Depending on the intended placement of the centerpiece and how eleborate you would like to get with the heigth, inexpensive wrapped pieces of styrafoam or cake stands make a good starting base for your arrangement.  A simple yet elegant arrangement includes a cake stand, a cake topper or figurine, floral or ivy strands and or wide ribbon.

Rather than more flowers arrangements, a theme coordinating  cake topper centerpiece or two can save you quite a bit on your decorating budget.  Possibly more important though, it will certainly create a unique twist to your wedding day decor.  Leaving your guests with even more to “aw” about
