Homemade Wedding Cake Toppers

Homemade toppers can be helpful in order to keep a check on the growing expenditure on the weddings. Fresh flowers can be one of the easiest options for a homemade wedding cake which can give a classic and elegant touch to a wedding cake. Practically any flowers fitting to the cake can be used but one very important thing which should be kept in mind is to check if they are not toxic to health and should also be free from pesticides. If you are not sure about the flowers then in order to avoid any possible health risks you should place the flowers on pedestal. Large garden roses, peonies, daisies or hydrangeas can be good options for a spring or summer wedding in a garden. Moreover grapes and/or homemade marzipan decorations can also be used.

Moreover, other homemade topper can be made from the polymer clay, needle felting or sewn felt. You can make a pair of birds one wearing a bow tie and tuxedo like a groom and the other wearing a veil and holding flowers in its forelimbs’ or two birds each holding a flower garlands in their hands (in some wedding traditions the bride and groom exchange the garland of flowers) or try to make delicate little dolls in wedding dresses. Whatever the wedding cake topper may be but the following points should be kept in mind:

  • The wedding cake toppers should be planned according to the size of the cake. You have to decide whether a large topper would be suitable or several small ones.
  • Wedding cake topper should not be too heavy otherwise the shape of the cake can be spoiled
  • Wedding cake topper should not melt or foam
