I think you are going to truly like this video, especially if you are the hands-on type. Take a look and see if you feel the same way as I do!
I hope you gained some valuable insights into how a professional floral designer goes about styling a wedding cake with flowers.
One thing to note is that many floral designers caution that before inserting the stems directly into the cake, make sure the flowers have not been treated with chemicals.
If that’s not possible, you can use water tubes, wrap the stems with floral tape or plastic cling wrap. Use straws to insert the stems.
Since most cake styling requires only a few top-quality flowers, I always suggest purchasing them from a local florist. Most florists have access to pesticide-free flowers, but generally require advance orders.
If you plan on using silk flowers, you can find a great selection online at NearlyNatural, and at craft sites like Michaels and Hobby Lobby, or by ordering them through your local florist.
One quick tip, if I may. If you are using silk flowers, I always suggest staying with higher-quality ones whenever possible. Adding a touch of fresh greenery will help keep your design looking more lifelike.
