Wedding couple bobbleheads? Cake toppers have come a long way since the traditional bride and groom, cherubs, doves and wedding bells. Now they are full of charm and romance and are a delightful new collectible whose popularity is on the rise. They can be made out of plastic, paper, hand-blown glass, metal or polymer clay, and are usually between 6" to 7.5" to fit on the wedding cake.

Most online websites offer Caucasian, Hispanic and African-American brides and grooms, as well as inter racial couples. They also offer various Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy, and Marine groom cake tops. Baseball, basketball, football, fishermen, golfers and hockey players (as well as pro and college teams) are well represented. And for professionals, there are cake tops for firemen, airline pilots, doctors, mail carriers, cooks, plumbers and many more.

These are some of the more comical cake tops we found while searching the Internet:

o Frankenstein Bride and Groom
o Naked Couple
o Bald Groom
o Ball and Chain
o Groom on a Short Leash
o Cow, Frog, and Dolphin Bride and Groom
o Pet Attendants

A new type of cake topper collectible is hand sculpted from polymer clay to resemble the bride and groom. You will need to send pictures (full front, full profile and full body) so they can make the personalized clay figures in your likeness. The price for this service is approximately $169 but is sure to be an attention getter as well as a cherished keepsake.

Another custom made wedding cake topper that is carefully created from your photos is the Wedding Couple Bobbleheads. Each one is specially made including 3D modeling of the face and head, including hair, eye and skin color. Currently one company offers the traditional bride and groom, a dancing couple, fireman couple, and military couple. They are 7-8 inches tall and cost $189.

Fun in the Sun - Unique Beach Bride Cake Toppers

There's just something about getting married on the beach. Waves crash along the shore, children giggle in delight as they dig the sand for seashells, and barefoot couples stroll arm in arm gazing at far off horizons. Dear beach bride, if such scenarios play out in your mind's eye then choosing a unique topper for your wedding cake is a detail you don't take lightly.

Cake toppers come in all shapes and designs. If you love seashells you might opt for a scallop embellished with sea stars and crystals, or how about a coral cake topper nestled with pink and white shells and starfish, a beautiful combination. Sail boats and light houses are more intriguing ideas. Find a sail boat with colorful sails and the motto, "set sail for love". Perhaps you are getting married in an old light house or near one, decorate your cake with a barber pole light house and use the saying "shine a light on love".

For a bride who has decided on a classical figurine couple then how about a handsome barefoot groom gazing down adoringly at his beautiful bride as he stands inside a heart drawn in the sand. If you have a fisherman groom then the choice of a comical bride who has snagged her man by the seat of his pants just might play on the strings of your heart.

Beach bride if you are getting married in Hawaii or on a tropical island you might brainstorm the idea of using orchids, hibiscus, gingers, bird of paradise, anthuriums, and other exotic flowers as toppers.

Anthuriums in red and pink are so striking you might want to be careful they don't steal the show when arranged with other flowers. Speak to your planner and bakery about adding balance and playing up one or two tropical flowers as a dominate theme for your topper.

Now that you have been given some interesting ideas for topping off your cake, take into mind what kind of cake you are having, the flavor, theme and most of all you and your beloved's personality traits. Remember, have fun and make this a time you will never forget.
