Should I incorporate fresh flowers or should I use icing replica flowers ? If I am using real flowers, will the florist use flowers that will not wilt ? Will the flowers poison my cake ?

One poignant question, should I entrust the cake making to friends or hire one of Boston's premier wedding cake bakeries ?
