A cake topper is just a cake topper right? Well, no. All brides have different expectations from their cake toppers and you should ask yourself what you want to get from your cake topper before you buy.
Price is obviously a big factor when making a selection. So let's be clear here: it's very difficult to find a cake topper for under $20. The average price is around $30 to $60, although you can pay up and over $200 if you want a high quality brand made from precious materials.
The question is – how much does the topper mean to you? Cheaper cake toppers will still look fantastic on the cake and in the photographs, but they probably won't look so fantastic on the shelf as a wedding keepsake. On the other hand, a beautifully glass-blown creation worth several hundred dollars can be a lovely reminder of your special day – you may even wish to pass it on to your daughters for their weddings.
You then need to consider the theme of your wedding. Do you envisage a classic wedding reception of sumptuous white table clothes, the soft glow of candle light and fat bunches of roses? A traditional bride and groom wedding cake topper would add to this picture perfectly.
Perhaps your idea of the perfect wedding is a relaxed affair on the beach. You are wearing a pretty, flowing dress and the guests are all in bare feet sipping champagne and nibbling on barbequed seafood. In this case, you may wish to choose a cheekier version of the bride and groom cake topper such as the one pictured. Or perhaps you imagine a design handcrafted with shells and pieces of fabric from the dress?
