The embossed words add a touch of class to the cake and ornament the confection beautifully.
Animals
This quirky idea has been recently doing the rounds at many weddings. This is especially for you if you’re an animal lover and want a twist on the usual. These figurines are often made from wood or china and we’ve seen a couple of birds, dogs, cats and even deer representing the wedding couple.

A Pair of Photos
This cake topper is extremely easy to DIY, a pair of photos, one of the bride and one of the groom, stand atop the cake beside each other. This is perfect for an artsy, laid back event with no extra frills- and not to mention, much more affordable. While you can use any type of photograph, Polaroid is the most popular.
Wooden Cake Topper
Whether it’s a barn wedding or one that’s out in the woods celebrating nature, this wedding cake topper is ideal for you. Messages or names are burnt or carved into wood, or twigs are shaped into shapes or letters.
