Sorry I have to be honest, you definitely must do something about the scroll design. I think you should try to cover it up. Maybe you can print out your monogram on cardstock and then put a backing layer on that to cover the design. Also the flowers are a little twisted. If you like the flowers maybe just line them up better. If it were mine though, I would decorate it with ribbon, like do layered ribbon going around each tier on the center in the same colors of the monogram. HTH

ETA: just noticed you already have some ribbon on there, so maybe just do the monogram thing and add a few silk flowers to decorate.

Thats a great idea!

Why dont you look at pics of wedidng cakes that you love, and then try to recreate them - you dont have to be a high fashion designer to do that - and a simple trp to michaels or walmart will do the trick - but start with some inspriation or a muse of some sort

that black design thing looks off. i would try to cover it up completly.
I think it would look much nicer w/ just the flowers!

also the middle tier, the flowers are more towards the top... where as the top and bottom are centered....(do u understand what im saying? lol
