Answer:

Marshmallows will easily stick to your wedding cake if you use butter cream icing or a frosting.

With fondant icing and Royal icing, you can use a little wet icing and attach the marshmallow, once dry, these icings will 'fix' the marshmallow. These icings also come in tubes, so you could use a small amount of this to attach the marshmallow.

Some cake decorators use alcohol (a special type of alcohol) to attach decorations to iced cakes, but I'm not sure if you can use this with marshmallows. If you ask at your local cake baking equipment shop, I'm sure they'll be able to help.

All the best
