Stylish Cake Toppers T he traditional wedding cake topper is of course a bride and groom, but today the bride and groom are no longer the same as what your mother may have had on her wedding cake. For instance if the couple is biracial, the wedding cake topper can reflect that. Highly personalized wedding cake toppers are frequently being offered. A good example of this is a “geek” groom, complete with dark rimmed glasses, and a geeky tux. Some of the more comical ones have both the bride and groom talking on a cell phone, or the bride giving the groom's buttocks a friendly pinch. Some of these wedding cake toppers relate to who the couple really are, such as those showing the couple fishing. There are even beach themed wedding cake toppers, and for those with a truly great sense of humor there are some that show the groom being tied down with a ball and chain. However, if you are more romantic than anything, today wedding cake toppers can be made of clear acrylic showing a couple kissing or dancing that is bound to bring oohs and aahs over your wedding cake topper. For those who like the glitter more than anything you might look into genuine Swarovski gems as you wedding cake topper. No matter what you choose it will be something totally unique that represents you both on your special day. HM 2012/2013 Harsashen.com ñ 37
