Ages ago, a baker’s daughter was about to get married. She requested her father to create a perfect emblem that symbolizes her marriage. She wanted this emblem to indicate her love amidst the two of them getting married.
Father tried numerous designs and after ‘n’ number of careful deliberations, he found something best suited for the bride & the groom. He was sure that this symbol would best signify the love his daughter wanted to show to her groom.
On the D-Day, the wedding cake arrived, and at the sight of that emblem the bride’s & the groom’s eyes sparkled with adoration & love. The baker of course was very happy to see his daughter so contented.
There in the middle of that wedding cake, stood two miniatures, two lovely figurines that were perfectly dressed for their wedding.
The baker explained that he thought this was the perfect symbol showing marriage, and it explains that the couple is surely the main attraction for the entire ceremony.
While this might be just a fiction, or it may be a true story, nobody is too sure for this answer; though it perfectly explains the initialization of toppers of the wedding cakes.
Nevertheless, ever since their inception, the toppers of the wedding cakes have long been a traditional symbol for the married couples. These are always symbolically placed on the wedding cake so that everybody can see them.
With the growing demand among the consumers, the toppers of the wedding cakes are now available in varied designs, colors & styles. The couples now have an option to choose among various choices and decide as to what portrays their marriage the best.
Those of you interested to have some tips about the right ways of choosing your wedding cake topers, below are some important tips that you can utilize for your D-Day:
1. Do not ever use wedding cake toppers made of plastics. The cheaper ones are a special no-no.
Actually people do opt the plastic made toppers for their wedding cake when they have a stringent budget, but the problem is that these are available at all department stores. So they are just not exclusive. As a result they do not add any glory to your wedding cake.
The wedding cake topper should one piece that has never been seen before in any other wedding. This might get you a bit over your budget, but it would be all the worth with the guests praising your wedding cake and it being an exclusive for a lifetime!
2. Be creative.
Try conceptualizing some designs & styles at your end. Personalized wedding cake & the topper indeed makes your wedding very creative and adds a sheer layer of romance, glitz & glamour to your wedding at large.
For this you must not pick any traditional & classical designs of the topper of the wedding cake. Try deviating from the usual and design your own style of the wedding cake topper.
Now-a-days there are several contemporary designs being promoted in the market that the couples use in their own unique style. Just put in your own ideas, or ask the baker to make a new concept for you. Then just use it in your topper of the wedding cake.
3. Generation Honor.
Those who have a real consciousness regarding the budget, in case you are lucky and it is still available, try using the wedding cake topper that was used in your parents’ wedding.
This would not only add a lot of emotional value to the decor, but also add a smile on your parents’ face.
The idea is that whatever concept or style you pick for your wedding cake topper, it would symbolize your big day, your marriage, and that already makes it a special item.
The toppers on the wedding cakes are not just embellishments on a cake. They serve as the emblem of love that flows between the two hearts that are being tied together to become one forever!
