Wedding Cake Toppers Ideas And Tips

By Tao Yacanna

There are a number of style choices to be considered. When selecting the monogram cake topper there are three things that must be decided on to be sure the couple has a very personalized, fantastic, and unique wedding cake.

The font style will have to be chosen. There are basically two font styles that are favored by couples for use on their monograms. Couples that tend to prefer more traditional weddings and ceremonies will probably learn toward the formal styles such as the calligraphic script that is used to engrave wedding invitations. For couples that are a little funkier and hip, they can choose from the more contemporary styles of creative fonts. These tend to be a straightforward arial or similar font that sits on a cursive base. The fonts that are more traditional will tend to look more formal and feminine and the contemporary styles are adventurous and often flexible enough to add some masculinity to the celebrations' look and feel.

The material and finish is important when choosing a monogram cake topper. Lettering that is silver or metallic looking is a basic choice that adds elegance. There are also a number of other decorative choices. Some couple will choose to have stunning Swarovski crystals on their monograms. These will add a very elegant look to a cake that was otherwise very simple. These crystals sparkle like diamonds catching lights, with each of the angles showing a prism of colors. Some couples choose basic crystals of different colors and further adorn the monogram with edible flowers.

Choosing the letter combination can often be challenging. While challenging it is still a fun part of choosing the ideal monogram cake topper. The couple will need to decide which letter will sit on top of their wedding cake. Since there are no hard and fast rules regarding this, couples are free to make any decision they like.

Creative Ideas for Letters on a Monogram Cake Topper Initials. This is a common choice for most. Some do with the first letters of their first names; others may use the first letters of their last names as a symbol of the union. Others prefer the romanticism of putting together their initials with their new common last name.

Sometimes significant dates are used and would display as an alphanumeric code of some kind. This is any date significant to the couple - the date they first met, their first date, first night together or their first holiday trip together. This is often fun as a monogram like N208 raises everyone's curiosity and would be an excellent opener to a conversation.
