1. Book for the fresh flowers from your florist
Book for the flowers from your florist and have it delivered to me the day before your wedding. As I will only be using the flowers to decorate your cake and not part of the event planners, I will not be responsible for choosing or selecting the flowers for your cake. That responsibility if for you & your event decorator/coordinator.
After the flowers have been delivered to me, I will be responsible for styling the cake with the flowers.
2. Book for a cake tasting/ consultation with me
At the cake tasting/ consultation, we will discuss the design of your cake as well as how your chosen flowers will compliment the cake beautifully. We will also discuss some wedding cake flavours & how they can compliment the flowers you choose for your decorations.
Some important things to note before booking for the fresh flowers from your florist
- Not all flowers are edible & some flowers may be toxic so make sure you confirm from your florist which flowers will be suitable to decorate a cake with to prevent any contamination. Nookies boutique cakes will not be held liable for any food contamination that may result from the use of toxic flowers.
- Your cake price will not include the price of the fresh flowers that will be used to decorate your cake. You are to purchase the flowers separately & have it delivered to me the day before your wedding.
