Choosing a Cake Topper For Your Wedding Day
by Penny Olson
When you are planning your wedding day, a good place to start is to choose a theme or decide on a general feeling for the day. There are a lot of decisions to be made and details to consider to plan a day that will be filled with precious memories for you, your groom, your family, and your guests.
There are many things that you can do that can create an ambiance of class or simplicity throughout the day without having to go overboard on details. A theme can be pulled off by paying attention to only a few of the events that happen during the day. Choose your favorites, and then put your focus and plan your budget around the "highlights" that are most important to you. This will help you save your money and your mind. It is very easy to get in over your head with all of the things that can, but certainly don't have to be, involved in planning a wedding. Remember, focus on what is important to you.
Today, I am going to focus on simple decorations that you can add to your cake that will really make it stand out in the crowd. After all, people don't just pay attention to the cake to see whether or not you smash it all over your beloved's face. I will give you options from understated and elegant, to big and bold. Either way your cake can easily add to your decor and help to make the day complete while keeping you within your budget.
One option that you may decide to utilize is Swarovski Crystal Stems. They are extremely versatile and can be added all over your cake to brighten and add height or pizazz to fresh flowers cake toppers or even monograms. They could also be added to floral designs that may fall down the sides of each layer. The fun thing about Swarovski crystals on stems is that the wires can be bent to mimic any shape. For instance, there is ivy that falls over the top layer of your cake, you can have the stems rise over the flowers that sit on the top and crystals that also cascade over the edges to flow with the ivy dangling down. You may want to have only crystals on stems to create the decorations on their own. This effect would look like you had a firework burst out of the top of your cake and shimmer over the top and down each layer. I have made quite a few cakes with this effect and it is breathtaking!
You may also want to have a representation of the two of you coming together with your new initials. You can do this by choosing to have Swarovski Crystal Monograms on the top of your cake. You can have one monogram to signify your last name or you could have three, the Bride's first initial, the Groom's first initial, and then the last initial that you now share. These cake toppers can be customized by adding colored Swarovski crystals that compliment your color scheme and fonts can be chosen that are formal or whimsical. These are simple and inexpensive ways to personalize your cake to bring lasting memories to your wedding day.
