When you are planning an elegant wedding, it is nice to have a classic wedding cake display at your reception. The usual plastic bride and groom may not fit the bill if you’ve designed the rest of your wedding to be classy and sophisticated.

Two different types of wedding cake toppers fit nicely into this style. The first is having beautiful flowers that coordinate with the rest of the flowers at your wedding. You could have your florist create a design with fresh flowers or you could have your cake designer create a cake topper from fondant that would be beautiful as well as edible. You may want to check out the past work of both professionals to come up with ideas and to see if you like what they have done in the past.

Another elegant way to top a wedding cake is with a monogram cake topper. Many couples use their new last name initial with their first name initials on either side. The letters could be in a fancy script font or a more modern typeface, depending on the style of the wedding. There are many choices when it comes to monogram cake toppers. Crystal, acrylic and brushed metal are a few of the options you will see online and in stores.

Before you make a decision on any cake topper, it’s a good idea to have your wedding cake planned out so that you know the size of the top layer and also the colors the topper should coordinate with. Once these decisions have been made, your choice of cake topper will be a lot easier.

A floral or monogram wedding cake topper can fit into any budget since both styles can be very simple or very fancy and expensive. Sometimes it is the little details like the top of your cake that can make a wedding feel like your own special creation.
