The bridesmaids and best woman get assigned different tasks to do in prepration for a wedding. More usually if they are very close to the bride and groom they will take it upon themselves to be responsible for such jobs as researching and finding wedding cake toppers suitable for the bride and groom´s wedding style.
The internet is a great starting point for finding all the different kinds of cake toppers that are available for weddings. Becoming more and more popular are the jokey type of cake toppers that are fashioned to look like the bride and groom. They can be made to represent how the happy couple will look on their wedding day or fashioned to look like a snapshot in time of how the couple look like when they are having a good time together.
These type of cake toppers are hand made by individual cake makers and artisans.They are usually hand crafted from clay and photographs and descriptions can be given to the crafter so that they create a memento that can be treasured for many years to come. If looked after clay cake toppers will preserve well into the tenth wedding anniversary and usually beyond.
I have seen some fabulous personalised wedding cake toppers made for customers in the past. Grooms wearing uniforms from the army, navy, police and fire service. Brides fashioned to look like how they will and did on the big day with copies of their hair style, bridal gown, tiara, jewellery and many other things that have been requested.
When gifts are hand made there is usually no limit to what can be added. For extra charges I have seen people have their pets stood in the middle of them. If they already have children many couples have requested these to be added to. Even a wedding group showing the bridesmaids.Grooms on surfboards. The bride and groom waving from their honey moon camper van. You can literally have whatever you want if you are willing to pay for a piece of craftmanship.
The one thing I would advise though is to make sure that this type of cake topper suits the bride and groom´s personality and wedding theme. Funny cake toppers aren´t everyone´s cup of tea but I have yet to find anyone be disappointed with one. However, there are some brides who will prefer a more contemporary, classic kinds of wedding cake toppers and these can always be catered for too.
