Seasonal Wedding Cake Toppers

If you're getting married during the Fourth of July Weekend you might consider using flags and sparklers for a wedding cake topper. For Valentines Day, perhaps romantic red roses or a heart design will best reflect the day. If you're getting married on Easter, why not have an edible chocolate bunny or some tulips a top your cake?

Collect some brightly colored leaves for a fall leaf display or use a candle and some faux evergreen boughs (fresh greens may be poisonous) to celebrate Christmas.

Use Your Imagination

Your wedding cake topper doesn't even have to be something that was made to top a cake. Perhaps there's a particular sculpture, music box or knick knack that's near and dear to your heart? As long as it's not too heavy, it would make a great wedding cake topper.

The point is, wedding cake toppers should be chosen with a little thought. Remember, pictures of your wedding cake are going to be gracing your photo album for a very long time.
