I love all the details behind the Royal Wedding cake made and designed by Fiona Cairns. There were 900 handmade flowers on the cake in 17 varieties that Kate selected based on the Language of Flowers. Some of the swags and detail work of the cake are reminiscent of the architectural details of Buckingham Palace.
The Language of Flowers
Rose (white) :: national symbol of England
Daffodil :: national symbol of Wales, new beginnings
Shamrock - national symbol of Ireland
Thistle :: national symbol of Scotland
Acorns, oak leaf :: strength, endurance
