Default Advice Please!

My sister-in-law just asked me to make the groom's cake for her wedding. yay!! The only request she had was that it be in the shape of a 'fleur-de-lis'. So I spent most of the weekend TRYING (lol) to sketch some ideas and discovered along the way that I have absolutely no drawing abilities. But I figured I needed to start somewhere. So here is the sketch, if anyone has any advice or suggestions I will gladly take it. I won't be offended, just let me know your thoughts. Thanks!!

i agree, great design. if you had room (don't know how big the cake will be) you could write his last name or initials on the rectangle bar across the bottom. i really like how you incorporated a tuxedo!!

I agree with everyone also! Looks like it'll be a very nice cake! Also like the idea of the initial across the square.

Thanks everybody! I'm happy you like it! I was thinking the same thing about the initials on that middle rectangle. I'll give it a try when it's done. I was really worried about the collar and bowtie. I didn't want it to look like a conehead. hehe. I'm excited to make it this week. i'll upload the pics as soon as i'm done. thanks again everyone!
