Wedding cake toppers in the shape of a heart are a classic choice. Many couples choose heart toppers since they're iconic symbols of romance.

While a simple heart can serve as an arch or backdrop to frame a traditional topper with bride and groom figurines, there are many other lovely hearts that can grace the top of any wedding cake design.

A double heart wedding cake topper uses a single classic symbol to represent both the bride and groom.

Bride and groom wedding cake toppers are still among the most popular choices to adorn wedding cakes, but a heart topper doesn't have to be a simple frame for the couple.

Wedding hearts come in a variety of themes to match any couple's wedding motif, even a western wedding complete with cowboy hats and steel-toed boots. The rustic colors of this topper and the braided rope accents give it an elegant western touch.

A heart shaped cake topper doesn't need to have the heart as the central or largest shape in the figurine to convey the romance the shape represents. A simple, elegant couple with a heart balanced between them evokes an innocent appeal and hints at a very private, gentle romance.

A metal dragon themed heart topper is a unique and stunning option perfect for a Gothic or Halloween wedding.

Heart shaped picks with pearls, crystals or rhinestones can add beauty to a cake. What's more, this type of topper is easy to make by hand with some supplies from a local craft store.

White doves are another popular symbol of wedding romance, innocence, and purity, and combining a pair of doves with a heart arch or background is a popular style of wedding cake topper. The doves may be in flight, at rest, or nuzzling one another in a gentle and caring pose.
