You can add a touch of elegance or even unique style for the top of your wedding cake. Traditionally most brides chose to use the bride and groom formal wedding cake topper or even a fresh array of flowers made by their florist. The beautiful bride and groom topper made from fine china or porcelain was the standard. Ornate and often surrounded by fresh flowers and greens, it made for a great keepsake.

In recent times, brides and grooms have looked outside of the box and have begun to personalize their wedding cakes. Monogram wedding toppers have experienced much growth as a topper. Made from gold platter or sterling silver, these initials of the bride and groom are on long picks to push into the top of the cake. A variety of fonts are available. The script lettering adds a clean and crisp design to the cake, making a simple but classy statement. The initials can also have crystals and gems to enhance the look. Brides are using just the last name initial or the initials of their first names with the last name initial larger.
