Decorating Wedding Cakes With Fresh Flowers

There are a lot of ways to decorating wedding cakes. What this page is about is decorating your wedding cake with fresh flowers.

The type of fresh flowers that can be used to decorate your wedding cake are roses, pansies, petunias, easter lilies, tiger lilies, daisies, orchids, etc.

But make sure that these flowers are not sprayed with pesticides. Or else you can't eat them. People have the tendency to believe that whatever is served on plates, they are eatable.

That's why it is also a good idea to use edible flowers. Edible flowers are like carnations, chrysanthemums, dandelions, fuchsias, gardenias, gladiolus, hibiscus, jasmine, lavender, pansies, marigold, lilac, primrose, violet, etc.

It is also a good idea to match the flowers of your bouquet to the flowers for your wedding cake decoration. That way, everything seems to be in-theme.
