Wedding Cakes with Flowers

Natural beauty, timeless style – opt for a floral wedding cake with flowers designed to reflect your day.

There’s a reason why so many couples are drawn to a wedding cake with flowers. Romantic, organic and completely individual, floral wedding cakes bring your celebration to life in the most beautiful way.

At Love From Luisa, I specialise in designing cakes that feel in tune with your aesthetic as a couple and your venue setting. I add thoughtful details that complement your florals, your vibe and your values. Whether your style is wild and rustic or refined and soft, I’ll create a floral cake that ties it all together for you.

A Floral Wedding Cake That Feels Like You

No two weddings are the same, and your cake should be no different. When you work with me, your floral wedding cake will be designed with intention and heart. I take inspiration from your bouquet, colour palette, venue and season to make something that truly reflects your day.

It’s not about copying Pinterest — it’s about capturing you in edible form. From relaxed barn weddings to elegant garden parties, every cake I create is tailored to your setting and your story.

Wedding Cake Styles with Flowers

There are so many ways to bring florals into your cake design — here are a few favourites:

Romantic & Soft

Gentle florals in pastel tones — like roses, lisianthus and peonies — look dreamy on smooth buttercream with flowing natural arrangements that echo your bouquet.

Wild & Botanical

Fresh herbs, trailing greenery and foraged-style flowers work beautifully for woodland or garden weddings. This is a great match for rustic venues and relaxed styling.

Textured & Earthy

Using dried flowers like thistles, lavender, poppies, and grasses gives your cake a lovely natural softness. It’s a modern look that pairs perfectly with tipi weddings and autumnal colour palettes.

Seasonal & Local

Choosing florals based on the season keeps things both beautiful and sustainable. Spring weddings might feature lilacs and peonies, while summer could call for wildflowers or sunflowers. Autumn brings in golden tones and seed pods; winter might call for deep jewel tones. Fortunately, roses are available most of the year round, so they make a great choice for out-of-season, winter weddings.

Fresh or Dried — What Wedding Cake with Flowers is Right for
You?

When it comes to florals, I work with fresh or dried flowers to create natural, timeless designs. Both offer different qualities, and I’ll help you choose what works best for your day:

Fresh Flower Wedding Cake

Nothing beats the vibrancy of real blooms. Fresh flowers bring colour, texture and a sense of movement that works beautifully with buttercream. If you’re already working with a florist, the most economical option is to have them supply extra flowers for your cake. I can then coordinate with them directly to ensure everything is food-safe and cohesive.

If you’d prefer, I can also source and prepare flowers for you. These are quoted separately, and I’ll always use non-toxic, pesticide-free varieties to keep things safe and beautiful.

Dried Flower Wedding Cake

For a more rustic or bohemian feel, dried flowers offer soft texture and muted, earthy tones. They’re especially lovely for autumn and winter weddings or outdoor venues like barns, tipis and woodlands, where you want a relaxed, romantic feel.

Dried flowers hold up beautifully through the day and are especially good if you love the idea of a cake that feels like part of the landscape — think bunny tails, grasses, lavender and seed pods arranged to feel wild and untamed.

Tied to Your Day:

Your wedding cake will be carefully designed to suit your venue, season and floral styling. I’ll take all the practical things into account — such as heat, set-up time and floral safety — while ensuring your cake feels like a seamless part of your celebration.

Heat & Set-Up Timing

In warmer months or outdoor venues, buttercream cakes need a bit of care. We’ll agree on a delivery and set-up time that works around the temperature, so your cake stays fresh and picture-perfect. In some cases, a later set-up may be necessary to avoid melting or drying out.

Flavours Inspired by Nature

Just like the outside of your cake, the inside should feel thoughtful and delicious. I use high-quality, natural ingredients and offer a selection of flavour pairings that feel fresh, floral and seasonal:

• Lemon & elderflower – Zingy, floral and full of sunshine.
• Apricot, cardamom & rose – A subtle nod to the flowers outside, in a romantic flavour pairing.
• Lime & blueberry – Elegant, aromatic and ideal for summer weddings.
• Vanilla with raspberry compote and white chocolate – A classic with a fresh countryside twist.
• Carrot & orange blossom – Warm, spiced and gently floral.

You can mix and match flavours across tiers, and if you’re unsure, I offer tasting boxes to help you decide before committing.

The Practical Bits

Here’s how I approach floral wedding cakes with safety and ease in mind:

• I only use non-toxic flowers and prepare them carefully before placing them on your cake.
• If your florist is providing the blooms, I’ll liaise with them to make sure the selection and timing are right.
• I offer a floral sourcing service if needed, quoted based on your flower choices and availability.
• Your cake will be transported and set up with care, with advice given based on your venue and the weather forecast.
• I do not use fully naked cakes — instead, I use semi-naked or buttercream styles that hold up better through the day and keep your cake from drying out.

I’ve written a helpful blog post explaining which flowers are safe to use on wedding cakes, based on the updated UK legislation introduced in 2023.
