Bows, rings, wedding bells, and other classic wedding icons
Church or temple replicas
Animals, birds, or other creatures dressed as a wedding couple

Choosing a Wedding Cake Topper

Several factors need to be considered when choosing an appropriate wedding cake topper.

Cake Size: The size of the wedding cake, particularly of the top tier, must be taken into account. A large, detailed topper would look out of place on a simple cake, while a more generic topper would be insufficient for a one-of-a-kind wedding cake.
Wedding Theme: Many couples choose to match their topper with their wedding theme. A firefighter wedding, for example, would coordinate well with a fireman carrying a bride topper, while a casual western wedding would look best with a western wedding cake topper such as a cowboy and his bride.
Formality: In addition to the theme, the wedding formality should also be considered. A cute couple of bride and groom rubber ducks may be a funny wedding cake topper, but it would be inappropriate for a formal black tie event.
Post-Wedding Use: Many couples keep their cake toppers for years as cherished mementos of their special day. If the topper will be kept, a higher quality, more unique topper may be a better choice than a simple, basic design.
