Humorous Wedding Cake Toppers

On her wedding day, a bride wants her dress to be unique and breathtaking, and to showcase her taste and figure in the most beautiful way possible. She hopes her floral arrangements will be dramatic and symbolic of the type of life she wants to live. She plans for her attendant's outfits to complement her gown and provide the dash of color to create the mood for the day. And the cake; it must tie all the elements together and set the tone for the entire reception. Wow, sounds like an onerous task to create a beautiful, unified theme for your dignified wedding. Why not allow yourself a little whimsical outlet with a humorous wedding cake topper?

Your cake topper can make any statement you wish for it to make. Many couples are turning to artists to create miniature versions of the bride and groom. Some of these may show the couple dressed exactly as their real outfits are. Others may choose to dress the mini-me in a playful outfit more typical of their everyday lives, or in outfits that highlight a favorite hobby or pastime.

More humorous toppers depict the bride dragging a reluctant groom to the altar, or a groom who is sweating and fidgeting with his tie. Some couples like to play up the idea of "tying the knot," and have small figures tied together. Of course, the image of a "ball and chain" is timeless for weddings, and a tongue in cheek way to recognize the commitment of marriage. "Runaway Bride" is a clever theme, indicating that the bride would flee if the groom weren't standing on her train. A really daring couple with little regard for convention might have three figures on the cake: the bride, the groom, and the bride's father holding a shotgun. A typical scene from after the wedding-- the groom carrying the bride over the threshold-- may be altered to show the bride carrying the groom. The couple may also decide to mine their favorite hobbies for humorous, unique cake topper ideas. A couple who breeds dogs, for instance, might have a poodle and a schnauzer in bride and groom garb. A couple who enjoys biking may have female and male bikers, the woman wearing a veil with her bike shorts, and the man wearing a tie and a corsage with his biking gear. Or picture a bride waiting on the shore while her surfer-dude husband-to-be catches one final wave before the ceremony.

You can surely find an artist or a company online willing to create a wedding cake topper to provide a chuckle or an insight into your unique relationship.
