While planning a wedding, everyone wants a splendid ceremony with a beautiful reception. One thing that's often forgotten by the to-be-bride's people is the cake topper which they don't realize till after they look at the cake. The cake topper is one of the most important accessories to a bridal package as it is a symbol of the union of two souls. There are a number cake toppers that you can use on top of your cake. From a towering cake to a sheet cake, it is the cake topper that gives beauty to the cake and makes it symbolic of the marriage. You can choose to have the cake topper made by the suppliers of the cake or you can have it custom made.
Custom made toppers are best for theme weddings. You can have a tropical hawaiin couple dressed in hoola skirts. There is an increasing trend nowadays to go for animal cake toppers as these represent purity and nature as compared to the traditional couple cake toppers. If this concept appeals to you, you might want to choose a unicorn or a dolphin. Some popular cake toppers are palm trees and gothic themed cake toppers. The cake you choose is special and you can make it more so by decorating it with a topper that expresses your thoughts and represents your taste.
Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
Cake toppers are an essential component of bridal accessories and brides are getting more daring by the day concerning their wedding cake. Some choose humorous or funny cake toppers while others go for cake toppers on Precious Moments. The bride should get to decide what topper goes on the cake as she is the queen of the day. One idea is for the bride to make her cake topper represent a hobby of hers that she's very fond of. Another idea is to use a candle topper; a way of thanking guests for being there on this special day. There are endless choices when it comes to cake toppers.
A different and unique cake topper that has been used is a newly wed couple leaving the wedding venue in a car to their honeymoon. A wooden deck contains the topper that has your names and wedding date on it. This has come to become very popular with brides all over. Bridal accessories are not restricted to just traditional toppers nowadays. Couples are becoming more open to casual plain weddings, simple i-do weddings and themed weddings.
Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
While choosing your bridal accessories you must not forget the cake topper and ensure that it represents you and your to-be. When you finally do select your cake topper, you will see that it is original and unique and it will be a reflection of your personality and everything that your wedding means to you. The cake becomes special when you get to choose what topper goes on it and all the fun that comes with choosing it.
