Choosing a Cake Topper For Your Wedding Day
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.
