Are Cake Toppers Necessary?

Kristin, on November 1, 2013 at 4:00 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 33

I was planning on just having roses on top of the cake. Do people do that or do I still need a topper of sorts?

    I think roses would be beautiful! I HATE toppers but a lot of people are in love with them! I think It's a personality thing. (David Tutera says they're BAD though,,just a side note)

    I've seen a ton of wedding cakes with flowers on top rather than a cake topper. I'm starting to wonder if that is the new norm actually. I will be having a bride and groom cake topper though

    Do whatever you want my dear. Nothing is off limits at weddings anymore... and really flowers on top isn't that strange. It's becoming very common. Unless you have a topper in mind, flowers would be gorgeous, real or sugar.

    You definitely don't need a cake topper -- do whatever you want! I also think roses would be fab.

    All that is 'necessary' is a bride, groom, officiant, and wedding license. Keep that firmly in mind, and you will be much less stressed and save a bunch of money. Flowers sound lovely to me!

    Oh, glad to hear I'm back in style -- our cake had flowers on top -- 26 years ago!

    I feel like flowers are timeless, but I am considering a Rhinestone "C" instead.

    Cake toppers aren't necessary. I'm not a big fan of them personally.

    We had a "couture" cake, and any topper would have ruined the look of the cake.

    My cake from last weekend...

    We originally ordered a fancy customized topper that was going to be a keepsake and displayed in our home but the artist on etsy flaked out. This is what our cake designer made.

    Definitely no need for a topper! I'm not having one, I personally chose to have fondant flowers on the top tier. It's whatever you prefer Smiley smile

    You don't need a cake topper.
