Real flower question (not using a florist)

Could you just get fresh flowers and arrange them yourself or have the baker do it?

View Quoted Comment If I bought fresh flowers, I’d definitely have the baker arrange them but I’d need to get the flowers. I want to use peonies which are not in season during April. When I originally met with a florist, she told me I would have to have peonies imported from holland if I wanted them for my wedding. Are silk flowers on a wedding cake a horrible idea?

Whoever makes your wedding cake will provide the fresh flowers for the cake. My Baker put fresh flowers on my wedding cake.

A florist may not do an order that small. If you can, reach out to the local VoTech schools and see if a student is willing to work on a small project.

Grocery stores are also a good option for having smaller pieces made as well.

Also ask your baker. They may do it for you or know someone who can.

My baker used fake flowers of his own for my cake but he said it was something we could have provided to him too and he would have done.
I've also seen lots of girls on here arrange their own cake design

I would check your local supermarket first. Both the Price Chopper and Hannafords around me have ready to go flowers and they are beautiful, and cheap!!
