No cake topper- opinion?

Meaghan, on October 28, 2016 at 9:23 AM Posted in Planning 0 27

Hi everyone. TGIF- for real!!!! I am trying to purchase a few of the little accessories this month (toasting flutes, cake server, etc) so I looked around cake toppers but my FH doesn't care for any particular one and I don't have my heart set on one either. The photo is the wedding cake I want from Publix. Think it looks just fine without a topper? I'm a cake freak so the more sugar flowers the better Smiley smile I was going to decorate the cake table with a few trinkets that reflect "us" too.

    I don't think toppers are necessary, the last few wedding I went to didn't have them. Our cake has sugar flowers on the top as well so opting out of the cake toppers.

    So I actually bought a cute cake topper, and at the last minute, we both decided we didn't like it and it took away from our cake. Our cake design was pretty simple and clean looking, and I'm really glad we decided against it.

    I think yours will look great without one!

    DH and I didn't have one. But we also just had a small slicing cake for us, and cupcakes for the guests. We just didn't see the necessity of having one.

    If you are getting that exact cake, it doesn't need a topper. It already has those pretty sugar flowers on top. Cake toppers aren't necessary.

    Yes that cake shown above will look fine without a topper as long as you accent the cake with flowers, etc.

    I'm having a cake topper just because I love the topper, but I would be totally fine with not having one.

    I didn't get a picture of my cake- but there was definitely no cake topper- I think it was far more elegant with out it given the style of cake that I chose.

    Toppers on at the top of my cut list if the budget starts wearing thin. I don't think anybody misses them

    This is one of those things that is entirely up to your preferences.

    I'm probably only going to have one because I like making things. If I don't feel like making something, I won't have one and I won't miss it.

    I don't think that you need a cake topper at all if you are going to do flowers, they will be a gorgeous topper in themselves!

    I want to "cheat" and do sugar flowers. Don't want to pay for real flowers on the cake. Real flowers will used on the cake table, centerpieces, bouquets, corsages/bouts.
