Unusual Wedding Cake Toppers
From LoveToKnow Weddings
If you're tired of the traditional bride and groom sets that adorn so many cakes, you should check out the selection of unusual wedding cake toppers available. The unusual types canaccomplish many different goals and may tie the cake to the wedding and the couple much more intricately than others.
What Unusual Wedding Cake Toppers Say
For one thing, they say that you definitely pay attention to detail when planning a big event. In addition, they say that you don't go with the traditional bride and groom topper just because most of the other couples out there choose something similar. Choosing something unique says you even want your cake to celebrate you and your spouse as a couple in a more determined way than the no-brainer tops found at almost every wedding store known to man.
An unusual topper choice could tie your cake into your theme. For example, if you choose dolphins as a topper when you're having a beach wedding, the cake isn't just a cake; it's really part of the whole scene.
Finding cake toppers that look like you and your spouse will evoke a combination of awe based on the art and giggles from seeing the bride and groom effectively as caricatures on top of their own wedding cake. If you like traditional with a slight twist, this may be the route for you. Your cake topper will get plenty of double-takes throughout the course of the reception.
