My friend snuck the original topper and center section from her parent's wedding cake out of their house for me to use on their "surprise" 50th cake. I was (unbeknownst to my friend) worried about using it because the topper had yellowed considerably and was breaking in some spots. I played around with the flowers, "fluffed" them up the best I could, tinted the icing ivory and found complimentary flowers to put inside the center section. The cake looked better in person. She was very happy with it!!
