Wedding cakes are as varied as the couples who order them. Everyone has different tastes and everyone has a different idea of what they think the perfect cake should look like. Making wedding cakes is probably a very fun career, as there is a lot of variety, and this can not be a bad thing. When making cakes, colors, flavors, and size are always a little different per couple, and this also means that the wedding cake toppers for each cake will be a little different too. This might even be more important to the couple than the color of the cake.
Some people like to have the standard bride and groom wedding cake toppers on their cake. This is most common and most popular. These aren’t really standard any longer, as they come in different designs, and the people on this type of topper can be any color or nationality, which fits in better with the world that we live in today. There are also some that might have children with them if the couple already has children or are uniting children from other relationships into their new life together.
There are many other types of wedding cake toppers though, and they are as special and unique as each bride. One popular one is doves, and this was the one I choose for my cake. Doves symbolize peace, and who doesn’t want peace in their marriage? Others like the wedding cake toppers that have bells, which are a popular wedding theme and decoration item. Flowers are also popular, and many cakes are being decorated with real flowers, and the topper is made with real flowers as well.
The best thing about finding the wedding cake toppers that you might like is that there are hundreds of different ones, and the prices range from cheap to very expensive. There is something out there for everyone. If you can’t find what you want at your baker or in a local store, it is easy enough to find them online. The selection of wedding cake toppers that can be found online is much larger than any local selection, and if you can’t find something online, you probably can’t find it anywhere. There may be auctions on eBay or web sites that sell wedding decorations and other items. These are the best places to begin a search for something unusual or even personalized. Don’t forget to add cost of shipping and insurance to the final price when deciding if it is affordable or not.

Wedding Ceremony
Though some of the traditional wedding ceremony is still being used in many weddings, there are new customs and traditions that are being invented to suit the new way people are relating and even meeting. The world has changed very much since weddings became what they are, and this means the those ceremonies have to change with the times. Though there are some who stick to the traditional wedding in every way, many are making adjustments, whether they are large or small, to fit what they think a marriage should be.
One common change to the wedding ceremony is to change the vows. When I married, our minister gave us a selection of vows from which to choose, and also told us that we were welcome to read our own if we wished. Since we both thought we would not like to read ours, even though it would be neat to write them, we decided to go with some traditional vows. We did, however, made some modifications. Our first modification to the vows was that the word ‘obey’ would not be included. The thought of obeying each other was funny to each of us.
Some people are altering their wedding ceremony to include any children that may be involved. Some have their children in the wedding as flower girls, bridesmaids, ushers, or groomsmen. Others turn their wedding ceremony into a family union ceremony. This is always a brilliant idea, as the children feel that they are being joined in the new family and they feel important and loved. Though not everyone chooses to do this for various reasons, it is becoming more popular.
The basics of any wedding ceremony remain the same however. Most couples make vows and exchange rings with each other. Other than that, what a couple wants to do is up to them. Come faiths will not allow such changes, but many will. The ceremony should reflect the life of the couple, and should be something they will cherish forever. The wedding ceremony should not be built to please the guests, but rather to please the couple. However, it is always a nice touch to keep the guests comfort in mind while planning. They will love you for it. Though people are always honored to be invited to a wedding, some brides and grooms don’t think about them while planning, they sometimes they end up having a very miserable time due to long length of ceremony or time between ceremony and reception.
