Beach Themed Wedding Cake Toppers

Ideas for Beach Themed Wedding Cake Toppers

What do you think of when you think of wedding cakes with beach themes? Chances are, if you're thinking of having a beach cake, you may not have considered all of your options yet. There are so many! No matter how whimsical or serious your ceremony is going to be, you can find the perfect topper for your cake—with a beach theme.

• Seashells (chocolate, if you wish!)/Sand dollars
• Bird figurines
• Palm trees
• Adirondack chairs
• Dolphins
• Seahorses
• Starfish
• Sailboat

Your Color Scheme

If you want to go with something other than all white for your wedding cake, consider accents of blue and tan to complement your beach theme. These can be in the form of bows, colored icing, or whatever else you'd like. If your beach wedding is during the summer, you could incorporate bright floral arrangements into your cake topper; springtime weddings could use pastels.

Where to Look for Beach Toppers

Since anything untraditional is not likely to show up on the aisles of any old arts and crafts store — or even a store that caters more to the special events collections — here are some places to start looking for the perfect beach themed wedding cake toppers for you:

That's My Topper Beach Cake Tops

That's My Topper has fantastic beach-specific toppers like

• Barefoot on the Beach
• Tropical Bliss
• Tropical Dreams

They also carry more traditional cake toppers if you prefer that type.

Beach Toppers from Wedding Whimsy

Wedding Whimsy is another great place to start your search. Their styles include:

• Starfish and Seashell
• Seashell Wedding Bride and Groom
• Seahorse Soulmates
• Beach Wedding Sandcastle
• Dolphin
• Sailboat (with Bride and Groom)

All of these styles are made of neutral, blue, and tan colors, so they're perfect for a beach theme. If you're having a daytime wedding on the beach, they will pick up the colors of the surroundings beautifully, and emphasize the serenity of the scene.

Fun and Tradition Beach Cake Topper from Favor Ideas

Favor Ideas has an option that's especially perfect for brides and grooms that like to fish together. Under the humorous options for cake toppers, there's the Hooked on Love Interchangeable Cake Topper Set that features the bride "hooking" the groom with a fishing pole. The fishing line length can be adjusted if needed.

This site also has more traditional bride and groom options that you could use in addition to colored icing that looks like waves and sand on the top of your cake. Be creative!

Sherry Sells Seashells

• Seaside Cake Top: This includes a white plastic stand, pearls, white shells, tulle, and your choice of starfish or pink murex shell.
• Seashell Dove Cake Topper: Shells make everything beach-inspired, as is evident with this traditional dove topper adorned with seashells. It includes two doves, a large scallop shell, smaller shells, and pearls.

Don't forget to visit the site to check out the other many, many beach themed toppers they have. The list is surprisingly long, and all of the pieces look exquisite.

The Styles

While you may have set out thinking that you wanted your cake to have "a beach theme," one look at the options above will tell you that you can choose from so many styles and moods. If your ceremony's a casual event — possibly even set up like a luau — you could opt for a palm tree or Adirondack chair atop your cake.

More serious? In that case, you can choose one of the more traditional settings with doves or a bride and groom set against a background of shells and pearls. Or you can find a treasure in a beach themed wedding cake topper of starfish, shell, and pearl mix for the perfect finishing touch.
