There was a time, not too many years ago, when having a wedding cake without a wedding cake topper was unthinkable. Back then toppers ranged from quaint to cute and beyond to wild. Most wedding cake toppers in that era were made of plastic, though they certainly weren’t limited to plastic.

Because of this, brides often chose a simpler topper. Often it was fresh flowers. Sometimes the bride chose to skip the cake topper all together and thereby let the cake stand alone.
