Ah, Poland – where the vodka flows, the pierogi melt in your mouth, and the wedding cakes? They wear crowns, not just frosting! Yes, we’re talking about cake toppers – those little treasures that make your sweet masterpiece stand out and tell YOUR love story.
So, what’s trending on Polish wedding cakes in 2025? Grab your coffee (or champagne) and get ready for inspiration, fun, and maybe even a pinch of madness.
Personalised Cake Toppers – Polish Couples' #1 Choice 🥰
If you think a cake topper is just decoration, think again. In Poland, couples are going wild for personalised toppers with names, initials, romantic quotes, or even their favourite phrase. Think delicate wooden, acrylic, or metal finishes, usually combined with boho or rustic vibes – two styles dominating Polish weddings.
I once photographed a wedding in Pałac Mała Wieś where the couple used a wooden topper saying “Miłość jest słodka” (Love is sweet) — and let me tell you, guests couldn’t stop snapping photos!
Minimalist Toppers – Simplicity Is Chic ✨
Minimalism is anything but boring. A simple handwritten “love”, geometrical shapes, or delicate monograms fit perfectly with modern Polish weddings held in industrial spaces like Forteca Kręglickich or urban lofts.
Less is more? Totally. Especially when your baker goes crazy with fresh blooms, figs, and macarons, and the topper gently peeks through like a quiet but confident guest.
Storytelling Figurines – Love, Pets & Quirky Moments 🐕🎮
Polish couples are ditching tradition for storytelling toppers. Figurines are no longer just brides and grooms standing stiffly. Expect:
- Couples hiking (yes, in full gear),
- Miniature versions of their beloved pets,
- Funny scenes like a groom chasing the bride or playing PlayStation.
I once captured a topper with the couple and their golden retriever in hiking outfits — everyone was laughing, and the photo still makes me smile.
Floral and Natural Magic 🌸🌾
Polish nature has always been a source of inspiration. Couples love fresh flowers, dried blooms, and eucalyptus toppers, which blend beautifully with rustic barns or garden weddings at venues like Dwór Many or Folwark Wiązy.
Bonus tip: Combine flowers with a subtle personalised sign or initials. Pure magic – trust me, your guests will swoon, and so will your photographer. 😉
Edible Cake Toppers 🍪🍩
Why look at it when you can EAT it? Polish bakers are embracing edible toppers – gingerbread versions of the couple (hello, December weddings!), sugar cookies with calligraphy, or mini fondant figurines.
Imagine guests realizing mid-toast they can eat the topper. Priceless. Just make sure Uncle Marek doesn’t devour it before the official cake cutting!
Vintage Porcelain & Folk-Inspired Toppers 🕊️💙
Vintage porcelain figurines are making a surprising comeback. Some couples are even borrowing family heirlooms. Others add a touch of Polish folklore with łowickie wzory or delicate folk motifs.
These toppers pair beautifully with traditional Polish weddings and countryside celebrations. Nostalgic, meaningful, and definitely Instagram-worthy.
Light-Up & Interactive Toppers 💡🎥
Do you want your cake to literally shine? LED toppers or tiny neon signs are perfect for evening receptions. Some couples even use QR-code toppers leading guests to their love story video or wedding playlist.
Modern? Absolutely. Memorable? Your guests will talk about it for years.
Where to Find These Treasures?

Little Checklist Before You Order:
