Every bride wants to have a perfect cake since it is usually the focal point in the wedding reception. But not everyone has the money to pay for one. So if you are a bride with a limited budget, how will you be able to afford the perfect wedding cake without breaking the bank?
You can shave off a few hundred bucks from the cost of your cake by using an
inexpensive yet elegant wedding cake topper.
Custom wedding cake toppers can be very expensive, with some pieces even running
$500.00 and up.
So do not rush into buying that
expensive cake topper even if it is recommended by your baker. If you are serious about saving some money by
selecting the toppers yourself, there are several ways to do it without compromising quality, individuality and aesthetics.
You can start by finding an unforgettable event or experience that you could use as an inspiration for your topper.
Try to think about your first date, a romantic vacation, or the day of the proposal. Where and when did it happen? Do
you have a picture?
A photo wedding cake topper is inexpensive and serves as an elegant cake topper.
You can buy pre-made ones or use a cute set of picture frames to display a favorite photo. Make sure that the picture frame/s
blends well with the color scheme of your cake.
You can also think about specific things that uniquely defines your relationship. Do you share a passion for travel,
sports, books, art, food, or pets?
Now that you have found your inspiration, it is now time to start looking for that perfect wedding cake topper.
If you and your groom are into whimsical stuff, visit a toy store or model shop and look for items that fit your theme
and inspiration such as a
beach (tropical)
or
western . Friends of ours used a beautiful model sailboat
as their cake topper because they met at an outing with a
sailing club.
You can dress up a Barbie and Ken doll or other smaller dolls to
fit your theme. Decorate with appropriate items from the store. Model shops have small replicas of automobiles and other interesting pieces that you may want to incorporate in your cake topper.
Whe went to a beautiful wedding where the cake topper was a corvette
with a bride and groom in it.
You can also check out the discount section of your local home furnishing store for glass and ceramic figurines. Look for figurines of couples that you and your groom can identify with. Fresh flowers can also be used as a wedding cake topper. Scatter fresh petals, attach a few blooms, or place a full arrangement of flowers on top of your cake.
For an interesting twist, crystallize some edible flowers in sugar before using them as a topper. Violets, pansies, roses, lilacs, and geraniums are just some examples of edible flowers that can be used for your cake.
You can also check out your local craft and hobby store and look for beads and other materials that you can use to monogram your initials or to add interesting details to the cake.
A little creativity goes a long way.
Even without a big budget, you can still have a personalized wedding cake topper for around $30.00 that can impress the guests and add to creating lasting memories of your wedding.
