Fresh flowers remain visually appealing on a cake for roughly eight hours under normal conditions — making them ideal for weddings where the cake is displayed and cut on the same day.

Tips for Using Fresh Flowers on Your Wedding Cake

  • Work with your florist and baker together
  • Choose non-toxic blooms — roses, peonies, and lavender are safe choices
  • Use flower picks or stems wrapped in floral tape
  • Add flowers just before display for peak freshness
