Sorry for the pun but I truly thought this picture was a great idea. It came out great! Thought some of you other brides would benefit from seeing it. This particular monogram cake topper was a 4″. This is worth mentioning since I often get asked for pictures of 4″ letters on their wedding cakes. This is one of the few I have! For a guide to choosing the right size cake topper, please visit my “Cake Topper Types” page.

4" Single Letter Monogram Font: Isabella Colors: Blue Zircon, Blue Zircon AB, Chrysolite

I don’t do as many partially covered monograms but with the right font choice, they come out really well. Most people have a “the more, the merrier” attitude when picking out their Swarovski cake topper, but this is to show that sometimes less can be more. Choosing the fuller curvier fonts is key!

Traditional Monogram Font: Heidi Colors: Crystal, Crystal AB

A good way to maximize sparkle with a warmer color palette of browns and earth tones, where the stark “whiteness” of Crystal may not blend in as well, is to consider using “Silk” instead. Silk is softer - the whiteness is toned down but it still catches a lot of light. It’s tough to tell Silk from Crystal in a photograph so you are going to accomplish a neutral look regardless but Silk may “go” with your other decor better than Crystal would.
