Wedding Cake Toppers

No wedding can take place without a wedding cake – in fact, it is a central attraction in most cases. But wedding cake toppers are usually not given that much attention. It remains an insignificant part of the entire wedding process.

With time everything changes and weddings are also not an exception. Wedding cake toppers of today are thus also different – they can be used creatively to fun up the marriage. Today you will find comic scenes, nontraditional couplings, and highly stylized sculptures instead of the traditional miniature bride and groom that was quite dull frankly.

Wedding cake toppers are available in a wide variety

These days there are various types of weddings – same sex marriages including gay and lesbian weddings. You will notice that when ‘same sex marriages’ are reported on television, the graphics displayed are not the traditional wedding cake toppers. Both the partners are either male or female. Gay partners getting married also use wedding cake toppers as part of the ritual. Wedding websites have also started to change from heterosexual couples to also include this change in society.

nother growing trend is interracial marriages, and here too the couples use wedding cake toppers to celebrate the ‘coming together’. And according to www.theknot.com, wedding cake toppers should look different because the bride and the grooms are also different. In such cases, the bride and the groom can be changed – the African-American bride can be changed in the cake and made an Asian-American groom. So much has changed over time!

OK it’s a wedding – but what about the party?

Though interracial or gay marriages almost always are revolts and make a statement in the subconscious, but that does mean that the bride and the groom cannot make it a fun occasion. After all, let us not forget that it’s their marriage. So instead of the traditional (bride and the groom standing stiffly), these days many wedding cake toppers have funny scenes such as the bride dragging an unwilling groom who is screaming. One such popular topper shows both the bride and the groom looking away without any bliss, and their backs are turned to each other.

‘The Tiff,’ a popular alternative among novelty wedding cake toppers can be very witty. Or there can be absurd wedding cake toppers – you will find them in www.weddingaccessories.net Here you will come across some where the bride and groom look as cows or dolphins and carry a hat and bouquets. There are many couples that like such silly wedding cake toppers – but even they can be great fun and can effectively decorate the wedding cake.

So what is right for you?

Though wedding cake toppers are less important compared to the major event, but it is also true that small touches can make a big difference. There are those who will remember for long the unique wedding cake toppers that were present. Yes, unique wedding cake toppers can be a central attraction. But the options are many. What kind of wedding cake toppers you prefer depends purely on your taste. So pick one carefully – do you want something traditional, or something that is funny, abstract or cute?
