My Floral Design

How do I create a floral arrangement for the top of a wedding cake?

I'm interested in making my own simple floral arrangements for the tops of the 6" and 9" tiers of our round wedding cake in an effort to save a little money. What is the best way to do this without the flowers wilting before it's time to cut the cake?

1. put a flower on it right b4 you get married or get someone to do it 4 u
2. Go to a grocery store florist the day before or the morning of your wedding. You can purchase very inexpensive flowers there, just buy the per stem flowers, not an arrangement, because you can arrange and cut them yourself (you'll probably have to cut the stems really short to arrange them on the cake). Grocery stores have really great prices for just the raw flowers (like $0.25 each) and I can't imagine you would need more than 10-15 flowers for two small cake arrangements. If you cut and place them on the cake the morning or afternoon of your cake they should last the day (until you cut the cake). It will only be 5-7 hours, so they should last if they are fresh. Good Luck!
3. You buy florists foam. You soak it, put the flowers in, then get some cardboard. Put the cardboard on top of the top layer, put the flowers in the florists foam on top (You may want to wrap the saran wrap on the cardboard so the water doesn't soak through the cardboard) and voila, you have a cake topper.
4. I saw this multifunction photo vase you can use as cake topper as well. You can use the vase after the wedding.
