Wedding cake toppers are a tradition that was started in the 50s. These began with a small model representation of the couple which were placed on top of the wedding cake. Today’s traditional wedding topper of the bride and groom is usually seen in formal attire, with the bride in a white wedding dress and the groom in a black tux.
However with changing times, and cultural diversity in weddings, wedding cake toppers have evolved to keep pace. These day toppers include flower arrangements, crystal or acrylic pieces, monograms and cake jewelry.
Traditional Ethnic Cake Toppers
If you and your beloved find a traditional wedding topper doesn’t adequately represent your diversity, have no fear. Today you can get toppers such as African American, Hispanic, Mexican, Indian, Asian, and even flexible interracial designs.
Glass, Crystal & Acrylic Cake Toppers
Hand blown glass, cut crystal or etched acrylic. All these materials can help you choose a unique shape to top your wedding cake, and have something to place on your mantel for several years to come. Bells, hearts, swans, dolphins are all popular themes and some designs will even allow you to add a touch of personalization to it.
Monogram Cake Toppers
Monogram Wedding Cake Toppers enable you to personalize your cake with your initials and come in a wide range of materials like Swarovski crystals, gold plated, crystal, rhinestone encrusted and more.
Flower Arrangement Cake Toppers

Humorous Cake Toppers
