Make Your Cake Topper Special With a Monogram and Swarovski Crystals
By Ashley Rader

Guests flock to the wedding cake at the reception. It's a spectacle everyone looks forward to seeing (and eating), so it's definitely important to consider it in your overall wedding decor. Are you having a very formal wedding? Are you having a more casual wedding and putting more of your resources into the reception?

A monogrammed cake topper with Swarovski crystals can add just the right touch. Here's what you need to consider when picking out your topper for your cake.

If you are using a monogram theme in your décor, the cake top can be the real icing on the cake.

What size cake topper do I need?

ˇ Consider how many letters you will use in the monogram. This will help you determine the size of the topper.

ˇ Also, consider the size of your cake. You want the cake topper to be in proportion to your cake.

ˇ Ask your cake specialist what he or she recommends for the topper. You will also want to purchase this early, so they can include it in the overall cake decoration.

ˇ A good rule of thumb is to use a 4-5 inch cake topper if you are using a single initial. If you will include three initials, take the size down a bit to about 3 inches.

ˇ Consider the size of the fonts as well when deciding on a monogrammed cake topper. If you are using a font that has large curls, take the size down a bit to compensate for the width of the topper.

What finish should I use on the cake topper?

There are two types of finish to consider - mirrored acrylic and stainless steel.

Mirrored Acrylic

ˇ This comes in gold or silver finish, which should match most wedding décor.
ˇ The mirrored finish reflects lots of light, so candles set up around the cake can make for a very romantic display.
ˇ Add colored Swarovski crystals to bring in your wedding colors and to make the topper really sparkle.

Stainless Steel

ˇ This cake topper is heavier in weight and provides a more substantial look.
ˇ This option is good if you want to include Swarovski crystals on both sides of the topper.
ˇ The stainless topper is also less shiny than the mirrored finish topper.

Can I make my own monogrammed cake top?
