Here are a few of my recent favorites...I've also experimented with cake edges that are sharper and more defined...definitely a look I've picked up from my time visiting and teaching in Australia. What do you think?
Parrot tulips and freesia blossoms mixed with lots of buds and filler flowers:
Dark purple anemone flowers arranged on chocolate fondant...with a little peek of green and white buds and filler flowers to give it a fresh, modern look. I think it helps to have the ribbon in a similar chocolate color so it doesn't compete with the flowers:
A trio of my garden roses with a few buds and leaves...and finished with a dark pink gingham ribbon. The cake edges are softer and rounder here:
And finally, a graceful and stoic Southern magnolia flower...mixed with buds and hydrangea petals, and finished with the very important dark, glossy magnolia leaves:
What decorations would you use if you only had a single tier to work with?
Thanks so much for stopping by...more to share soon! x
