Butterfly cake toppers are everything unique wedding cake toppers should be. They are fanciful, whimsical and very romantic. Butterfly cake toppers are absolutely perfect for a spring or early summer wedding. Unlike the typical bride and groom cake toppers, which can seem a bit stodgy, butterfly cake toppers seem light as air, playful and sublime!

Butterfly Cake Toppers and Fanciful Details

When it comes to unique cake toppers, it's all in the details. A pair of beautiful butterflies is not enough. You need to surround those butterflies with gorgeous flowers and greenery. The butterflies can dance against a backdrop of ivy or fern, surrounded by tiny roses or other flowers.

Details like sparkling wings, decorative pearls, shiny ribbons or iridescent glitter can really bring the figures to life! They should seem to dance before your eyes, catching the light with golden or glittering accents. You may want the butterflies to alight on a trellis or archway, too.

If the artist you are working with is talented enough, you should be able to have aspects of your cake topper custom made. For instance, you may want the flowers which decorate the topper to match the flowers for your wedding. You may want the archway to match the colors of the bridesmaids' dresses. Look for an artist who is as amenable as she is business-like, and you should be able to get just exactly what you want.
