Posted on March 29, 2010 | Category: Wedding Trivia

When planning the final details of a wedding such as the wedding cake, many couples find they are also reaching the end of their budget. There are ways to create a beautiful wedding cake display without spending a lot of money. Here are a few ideas for great wedding cake toppers that are inexpensive.

One classic and elegant way to top a wedding cake is with flowers. Fresh flowers are a wonderful choice, especially if your favorite flowers are in season. A simple floral arrangement that sits upon the top layer of your cake will not be very expensive. Your florist may even provide a small bouquet at no cost if they are providing all of the other flowers for the wedding. You may have to spend a bit more if you decide on a display that cascades down the side of the cake and around the base.

Some couples may prefer flowers made from fondant or icing for a wedding cake topper. Cake designers can usually create roses and other flowers that look real and are edible too! This is an easy way to tie your wedding cake into the same color theme as the rest of your reception without spending a lot of money.

Monogram cake toppers can also be an inexpensive way to top your wedding cake. There are contemporary style monogram toppers starting at about $10.00. Couples often display their new last name initial and sometimes add their first name initials on either side. Hundreds of sizes and styles are available to coordinate with most any wedding cake.

For wedding couples that want a traditional bride and groom cake topper, inexpensive options are also available. There is a growing cottage industry of personalized wedding figurines, but these tend to cost quite a bit more since they are custom made, based on a photo of the bride and groom. The price will start at around $12.00 if you can select a cake topper “off the shelf”. The good news is that there are now hundreds of these figurine wedding cake toppers to choose from, including humorous poses as well as figures with different hair and skin types.

Enjoy your wedding planning and follow these tips to find a cheap wedding cake topper that tops off your cake with style.
