Wedding Cake Top Ideas
Wedding cake tops are generally very unique to the bride and groom.
They can be purchased or made. If you are considering purchasing online then visit the online for wedding cake tops at bakeshop. They have reasonable quality cake tops a variety of themes and are reasonably priced. If you are trying to save money, then consider making your own.
Consider using a figurine or something you already have in your possession that has sentimental value. Something from a family member or even an antique cup filled with flowers.
IDEAS:
1. Consider have just flowers as a topper, and then have some items placed on the table that have special meaning. Often just the decorated cake knives, ivy or tulle, with a few small candles is just enough to be tasteful and elegant. However, if you choose to have a traditional bridal cake top there are many online options to choose from.
2. Purchase base at a local craft store and make your own! This is easier to fit with your theme. For instance if you are using a theme of butterflies... local craft stores have a number of beautiful butterfly ornaments that can be hot glued on the white plastic base. Adding some tulle, flowers, pearls, etc will make it unique as well as matching any theme of your choice.
3. Another idea if both bride and groom's parents have saved their baby shoes, these could be placed on a small platform, with a small sign that says from the "pitter patter of our feet to the pitter patter of our hearts we found each other" Actually, these don't have to be on the top of the cake but placed on the table. This is a unique idea that would fit with any theme.
4. If your wedding is around a particular holiday you could go with a theme accordingly, and make a small arrangement that fits both the day and the holiday. For instance a military them could have flags and metals.
5. If your wedding is in the fall, consider something made with fall leaves, acorns, walnuts, mini-pumpkins, wheat, etc.
NOTE: Don't forget the absolutely gorgeous ribbons now available that will accent almost any arrangement. Consider letting some ribbons stream down the cake.
