Use Crystal Wedding Cake Jewelry to Create Stunning Holiday Centerpieces

This might sound crazy at first, but if you've got a wedding coming up you can make both your holiday budget and your wedding budget stretch by combining them and ordering your wedding cake jewelry in time to incorporate its crystal beauty into a centerpiece for your Christmas party!

Imagine sprays of swarovski crystals emerging from a display of traditional Christmas greenery. Unless you use the same Christmas display for your wedding cake topper no one will ever recognize it.

Or imagine an elegant sphere of crystals and fine jewelry craftsmanship sitting on the mantle with candle light dancing off the crystals. It's an elegant way to highlight (or even announce) your upcoming nuptials.

Crystal wedding cake jewelry has the advantage of coming in a wide variety of styles - making it perfect for use in your holiday centerpieces. For example, rather than confining themselves to the top of the cake some styles of cake jewelry consist of crystal vines designed to climb the tiers of the cake. Another style that comes to mind consists of crystal flowers again designed to accent your cake, but would look gorgeous as accents in your holiday decorating.

Choose your style. Personalize it. Not only does it help to stretch your budget while adding elegance and beauty to your Christmas or Hanukkah celebration but unlike most wedding cake toppers, wedding cake jewelry will stay beautiful year after year - something you will be proud to feature in your decor as a reminder of the happiest day of your life.

Plan ahead. Using wedding cake jewelry is a gorgeous touch precisely because it is so exquisitly made - meaning that often wedding cake jewelry is made to order and may not be available immediately.

Customizing Wedding Cake Toppers

Wedding cake toppers come in virtually every style, or theme you can imagine. You can find tops that feature the bride and groom on a motorbike or near a wishing well. You can have your cake crowned with a crown made of burnished metals, porcelain, or glass. Many people still enjoy the humorous figurines that depict the bride dragging her groom to the church. Other’s choose porcelain or glass figurines of doves, dolphins, or some other animal. Some go for glamorous and elegant cake jewelry while others prefer themed wedding cake toppers that depict their wedding theme or even their ethnic or religious identities.

Whatever their style preference, most women dream of their wedding day… and they usually have a pretty vivid image of what their wedding cake will be, and one of the most important aspects of a coming up with a wedding cake design is integrating the wedding cake topper to make a single, coherent centerpiece for your wedding.

How to Choose your Wedding Cake Topper

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. In fact, artisans from a wide variety of backgrounds often made cake toppers to order, often coming up with stunning works of art to crown the artistic masterpiece that is your wedding cake.

Nevertheless, most wedding cake toppers were plastic so over time it was not uncommon to find a wedding cake without a special topper. Why? There are probably quite a few correct answers but ultimately, I would like to suggest, it came down to a matter of tastefulness.

The lack of quality was, no doubt, one reason. The ebb and flow of trends within society is clearly another.

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.
