Who puts the flowers on a wedding cake?
When it comes to planning a wedding, every detail matters. From the dress to the venue to the decorations, each aspect of the big day is carefully considered and chosen to create the perfect atmosphere for the couple and their guests. One element that often takes centre stage at a wedding is the cake. From towering confections adorned with intricate designs to simple, elegant creations, wedding cakes are a sweet symbol of the couple's love and commitment. One of the most beautiful and symbolic decorations that can adorn a wedding cake is flowers. But who puts the flowers on a wedding cake?

At Bloom and Crumb, a leading wedding cake specialist in London, we understand the importance of every detail when it comes to creating a stunning wedding cake. When it comes to adorning a wedding cake with flowers, there are a few different options, each with its unique benefits and considerations.
1. The Florist
One popular option for adorning a wedding cake with flowers is to work with the couple's chosen florist. Many couples work closely with a florist to create stunning floral arrangements for their wedding, and incorporating the same flowers onto the cake can create a cohesive and elegant look. When the florist is responsible for placing flowers on the cake, they will typically coordinate with the cake designer to ensure that the flowers complement the overall design of the cake. This option allows for seamless coordination between the floral arrangements throughout the wedding and the cake design, ensuring a cohesive and beautiful aesthetic.
2. The Cake Designer
At Bloom and Crumb, I always take on the responsibility of placing flowers on the wedding cake. I work closely with the couple to create a design that perfectly complements their wedding theme and incorporates their chosen flowers seamlessly. When the cake designer is responsible for adorning the cake with flowers, they can ensure that the placement and design of the flowers are carefully considered to enhance the overall beauty of the cake. This option allows for a more integrated approach to cake design, with the cake designer considering the floral elements as an integral part of the overall aesthetic.

3. DIY
Some couples may choose to take a hands-on approach and place the flowers on the cake themselves. This can be a meaningful and personal way to incorporate floral elements into the wedding cake. However, it's important to consider that not all flowers are safe for consumption, and those that are can still pose risks if not handled and placed correctly. If a couple chooses to place flowers on their cake themselves, they should work closely with their florist or cake designer to ensure that the flowers chosen are safe for use on a cake, and that proper care is taken to ensure they are positioned securely and safely. The decision of who puts the flowers on a wedding cake ultimately depends on the preferences of the couple and the expertise of their chosen vendors. Whether it's the florist, the cake designer, or the couple themselves, the goal is always the same - to create a stunning and memorable wedding cake that reflects the beauty and joy of the special day.
