What type of flowers can I choose for our cake?

Fresh flowers are such a popular choice for wedding cakes, they can tie into your theme perfectly. I can source flowers from my preferred florist to match your theme or I can collect them from your florist.
Sugar flowers are also a great way to decorate your cake, handcrafted by me they also make a lovely keepsake after your day

Can we use Dummy/ fake tiers?
Absolutely! Dummy tiers can be included into any design, this allows us to turn a 2 tier into a 3 tier and so on. No limits!
