How to Decorate a Wedding Cake with Flowers
This is a great question - and one we get asked a lot. Here's what to know when it comes to decorating a wedding cake with flowers.
Can you put fresh flowers on a wedding cake?
Yes - but only certain ones! Some flowers are toxic or treated with pesticides, so always work with your cake maker and florist to ensure you're using safe, non-toxic, untreated blooms.
Popular safe choices for decorating include:
- Roses
- Peonies
- Lavender
- Eucalyptus
- Dahlias
- Sunflowers
- Lisianthus
Make sure the stems are wrapped and secured so nothing seeps into the sponge. Many florists will collaborate directly with your baker to ensure the flowers are safe and food-friendly.
Flowers you can eat include:
- Hibiscus
- Camomile
- Rose petals
- Violet
- Calendula
- Courgette blossoms
- Nasturtium
- Cornflower
- Dahlia
- Honeysuckle
Make sure you check with your cake maker and your florist before adding flowers to be consumed to your cake.
Gypsophila (also known as baby’s breath) is not food-safe, so you should opt for a faux version of this bloom, or use it on things you don’t intend to eat or serve.
Fresh vs Faux vs Sugar Flowers
Not sure which type of flower to use for your wedding cake? Here are the pros and cons of each type:
- Fresh flowers are affordable and beautiful but must be handled with care, and not all can be consumed.
- Faux/silk flowers are great for bold colours and long-lasting looks - but you definitely can’t eat them.
- Sugar flowers are edible, artistic, and allergy-friendly, but can increase the price.
Final Tips for Your Floral Wedding Cake
- Match your flowers to your theme - or use your cake to introduce a pop of colour!
- Think seasonally - using flowers in season often looks better and costs less.
- Consider your venue temperature - buttercream + blazing sun = risky.
- Work with your florist AND cake maker - they’ll coordinate flower delivery and decoration timing.
- Do your research - make sure you know which flowers are safe and avoid any that aren’t.
