19th March 2012 – Albeit Monogram Cake Toppers are increasingly becoming popular but if you do not give a thought to some important factors, you might ruin the whole effect. Such cake toppers are characterized by letters which may be one or more in number. They are generally initials i.e. the first alphabet of any person’s name. The monogram pieces sit on top on the cake and the initials often serve to signify some special traits of the groom and the bride.
Such toppers are widely in demand by modern day brides and grooms and come in two broad patterns; contemporary and formal. These two are equally popular lettering styles and are commonly seen in wedding cakes. While the quondam is less fancy and more modern in appearance the latter is more effeminate and slightly bends towards the style quotient of the bride.
Although formal style is both fancy and elegant yet contemporary style looks more apt for wedding cakes. They can be easily read and formal style elements can also be incorporated in them. Most often the letters are seen to be designed with curls hanging down from one end which impart them elegance and beauty. The letters are not in any scripted or formal style but the curls and other specific designs make them look very attractive and eye-catching.
The contemporary style is more preferable than formal style for wedding cakes because they help to represent not one of the couple but both the groom and the bride on an equal frontage. The personal style of the groom and the bride need to be well assessed prior to finalizing either the contemporary or the formal style of monogram toppers.
The next most important thing that needs consideration with regard to monogram cake toppers is choosing the letters and their number. You also must be clear about the reason for wanting such and such letters in so and so numbers. You could be innovative in this regard and could even think of including the initials of the date and year of your first meeting. For instance, if you met each other for the first time on 14th February, 1999, you can use F 1499.
