Military Wedding Cake Toppers

-- Military Wedding Cake Toppers --

If you or your spouse (or both of you!) are in the military, you can give a nod to your service by finishing your cake off with a military style topper. Some couples choose to work the military into all aspects of the wedding theme, such as camo-print wedding dresses and camouflage inspired invitations. You can add a militant touch to your wedding cake whether you’ve gone all-out with the military theme or not.

Getting Personal

Your cake topper can be a real reflection of you as a couple. For something that is really special, consider having a personal cake topper created in your honor. Search the internet – some companies even specialize in creating unique military toppers, customized to your needs. The figurine can have a specific rank, branch and uniform to truly reflect your groom – or bride!

How is it done?

If you are considering a customized military cake topper, be sure to plan ahead! Your artist will need time to create your special piece of memorabilia. Toppers are most often made of poly-resin, and can be hand-painted to match your details and create a real likeness. The topper might not look exactly like you, but race, hair color, eye color, etc. will be recognizably yours. The cake-topper creator will likely ask for photos of uniform, awards, and the happy couple to create a real replica. You can also purchase pre-made military inspired cake toppers, which might not reflect your army apparel perfectly, but will still carry out the theme nicely! Look for a porcelain set of figurines – and be sure to transfer them to your china cabinet after the wedding as they will likely become a real family keepsake!

Details, details

Order your cake topper about 6 months before your wedding to ensure you have ample time to receive your finished product (and if there is a problem you will have time to deal with it!). Remember to find out how big the base of the topper is, and how much it weighs, so you can let your cake baker in on these important details.

A Man in Uniform

You can have a cake topper to reflect virtually any career – and if you’re marrying a man in uniform, why not use your cake topper as a way to show your appreciation and love of all his hard work? From men in the navy to firemen and sailors, there’s a cake topper to “suit” any man in your life!

Get Patriotic

Hosting a wedding that shines with patriotism is a lovely way to show your love for each other – and your country! If one, or both, of you is enlisted, your cake topper is the perfect way to finish it all off. Your cake can have a military theme to it as well, either made up of red white and blue, ribbons, or a camouflage print. Topping it all off with a military topper is the icing on the cake – almost!
