The bride and groom wedding cake topper is a true classic that fits into the style of almost every wedding. One of the first examples of a bride and groom wedding cake topper can be found in an advertisement in The British Baker of 1892. A Scottish icing powder firm pictured a cake decorated with a bride and groom.
By the 1920s, bride and groom cake toppers were firmly established in tradition. Also popular were 'cewpies' - which were child bride and groom figures. (These were a mix of cupids and a marrying couple!)
It's interesting that bride and groom cake toppers were usually generalized and symbolic rather than accurate representations of the actual bride and groom themselves.
Today the classic bride and groom cake topper is still hugely popular. However, increasingly, couples are seeking toppers that more closely represent themselves. At the very least, the hair color needs to match that of the couple!
The cake topper pictured is a beautiful example of the classic bride and groom wedding cake topper. It's romantic, exquisitely beautiful, and will remain in the memories of guests for years to come. This is definitely a cake topper to keep to show the grandchildren!
