The initials of the bride and the groom are usually engraved in the glass. This type of topper looks absolutely stunning, and definitely gives your guests something to talk about.

As bridal couples start to deviate from the traditional, they have started to like the idea of customized wedding cake toppers. Today, toppers can be custom-made to suit every need, as well as personalities of the bridal couple. Some couples combine the fun and uniqueness into their topper by having a specially-made topper in their likeness and depicts the bride carrying the groom.

Surprisingly, it’s not just a “groom thing”, many brides have had their favorite college teams represented as well.

Whimsical

There’s nothing more that makes a statement than whimsical toppers. Imagine a topper that with a bride dragging a groom, or a groom sweating and fiddling with his tie, or a “runaway bride” with the veil being stepped on by the groom –these are playful ideas of the “I do” scenario that most couples have found to be a great pick for their topper.
