Glass Wedding Cake Toppers

While routinely being one of the last items attended to on the wedding list, wedding cake toppers are one of the first things that stand out to guests. Positioned atop the cake, they’re hard to miss. Hence, they should be a stand out wedding accessory.

Glass wedding cake toppers fit the bill. This is a unique alternative that will serve as a treasured keepsake for years to come. Following are some common themes of glass wedding cake toppers from which to choose.

Common Themes Found in Glass Wedding Cake Toppers

Like traditional wedding cake toppers, glass wedding cake toppers cover a wide variety of themes. Following are a few.

Lovebird Glass Wedding Cake Toppers: Lovebirds are common wedding cake toppers. However, they really pop when done in glass. The variations on this theme include swans and doves in various poses: eg, holding wedding bands, kissing, sitting atop flowers, etc.

Personalized Glass Wedding Cake Toppers: Because glass blowing is an art, you can have personalized glass wedding cake toppers made featuring anything you want. For example, your names can be spelled out in a heart-shaped pattern. Or, your wedding date can be featured. Or, a glass plaque can be made with a quote that’s special to the two of you featured.

The beautiful thing about personalized wedding cake toppers is that you are limited only by your imagination (and, of course, your budget).

Humorous Glass Wedding Cake Toppers: Glass wedding cake toppers depicting humor are usually awe-inspiring, for they capture – in glass – a moment in time. Imagine the “ball and chain” anecdote depicted in glass. Not only is it hilarious, it’s nothing less than art on display.

Religious Glass Wedding Cake Toppers: These come in various themes. Crosses are extremely popular, as are angels and the Star of David. Added adornment commonly features the star elements covered by a heart or a canopy, for example.

These religious elements are overwhelmingly powerful when depicted in the clean lines of clear glass.

As wedding cake toppers are treasured mementos of the day, glass wedding cake toppers that depict humor will be cherished for years to come, and probably much-sought-after collectibles as well.

More about Glass Cake Toppers

You can have glass cake toppers engraved, mounted and/or trimmed in various accents like gold or silver. The bases are very carefully designed for stability to prevent tipping and breakage.

How to Care for Glass Wedding Cake Toppers

You care for these as you would any other piece of hand-blown glass art. Following are a few tips.

Handle with care: This is the first rule in caring for your glass topper. Always pick it up by the base.

Showcasing: If you choose to showcase your topper, don’t set it out in the open. Place it in an enclosed case, preferably in the center of a shelf.

Storing: Use the same box and packaging it came in when you bought it, as this is usually the best way to protect it.
