Pearls on the topper tie in beautifully with the pearls on the cake and the high contrasting fonts and color sets make for a  highly legible monogram. A few flowers are used to soften the look.

That doesn’t mean the topper has to be a solid color.  Would you have guessed that four colors were used on this one?  The topper can be multi-tonal but the idea is to have it appear to be one color from far away by picking shades that are close to one another.  It’s still interesting — the closer you get the more dimension you start to see.
