White Filigree Cupcake Wrappers
While this might not be a cake "topper" per se, it's certainly a nice way to pretty up your cupcakes if you decide to go with them instead of a standard cake. These wrappers (which are easy to assemble) feature an almost too pretty laser-cut filigree design - perfect for adding an extra little dose of personality to a cupcake tree!
For presentation only - don't bake in these!

First Love Couple Wedding Cake Topper
I chose this topper because it's not like the bride and groom cake toppers you see out there (most of which feature a bride somehow trapping her poor, unsuspecting husband into marriage. Blech). This one is sweet in that it's reminiscent of first love. The couple is so innocent and loving. Even though they don't have faces, you can just imagine them looking into each other's eyes lovingly. Perfect for high school (or college!) sweethearts!
7.5 inches tall.

Not feeling a traditional topper? These pretty butterflies, which symbolize a new life and a new beginning (how perfect is that?!), let you decorate your cake with a bit of bling in an unexpected way. Put a few on each tier of your cake and watch the gorgeous Swarovski crystals sparkle and catch the light. These would also work really well if you decide to go with cupcakes instead of a traditional cake.

Photo Cube Cake Top/Centerpiece
While bride and groom figurines can be cute atop your cake, why not put actual photos of you and your sweetie there instead? This weighty glass cube doubles as a vase (you can also use it as a centerpiece!) that you can fill with fresh flowers (or pop one of your bridesmaids bouquets in there and save a little cash!). Very pretty and personal, you can totally reuse this topper in your home!
Weighing in at 3.6 pounds, you should work with your baker to ensure your cake can support it.
4 inch cube holds four 3.5 inch square photos.
Option of engraving your first names and wedding date.

I Do Cake Topper
"I do" are the words you will speak to seal your promise to one another. I think it's kind of adorable to use this sweet reminder on top of your cake. The metal set is two separate pieces ("I" and "Do") which can be arranged however you'd like. Surround them with flowers, have your baker encircle them with decorative icing, or just leave them clean and modern. Whatever you decide to do, this topper is a fun, unique way to decorate your cake!

Exotic Environments Kissing Goldfish Heart Aquarium Ornament
This hand-painted topper is for those of you who want to step outside of the box and stray away from typical wedding cake toppers-- in fact, this one isn't a topper at all! It's an ornament for a fish aquarium. I just wanted to show you that a little creative thinking goes a long way in wedding planning. Honestly, you can use just about any lightweight, flat-bottomed trinket you find to decorate the top of your cake. This one is sweet and romantic, but it's also totally unexpected. Love it!

Celtic Claddagh Cake Topper
Whether you're Irish or not, the symbolism of a claddagh ring is really fitting for a wedding. The hands symbolize friendship, the heart symbolizes love, and the crown is for loyalty. I don't know about you, but love, loyalty, and friendship are certainly things I wish for in my marriage. That's why I love this glazed porcelain topper! Aside from being oh-so pretty, it's meaningful.
Features an Irish wedding blessing on the bottom of the base: "May your hands be forever blessed in friendship and your hearts joined forever in Love."
Measures 4.75 inches tall.

Love Birds Cake Top
How cute are these?! Two very modern-looking love birds are nestled together in a loving embrace, as if they just can't bear to be apart from one another. Simple and elegant, they are a great way to add an extra dose of sweetness to dessert.
Added bonus: these pretty birds can certainly be used as a decoration in your new home-- unlike those ubiquitous "bride dragging begrudging groom to the altar" toppers.
