When To Place Fondant Accent On Buttercream Cake?

Hi all!
I'm creating my first fondant accented cake this weekend--been busy rolling and cutting. I read it is not good to place fondant on the buttercream too early b/c the buttercream breaks it down. Is this true? How early is too early? Is 24 hours in advance too early?
Also, do you place accents at the time of icing or after the buttercream has crusted ?
TIA!
As soon as the cake is iced in bc, start slappin' those fondant accents on there.
I asked this same question a couple of weeks ago and leah_s advised me to do this....she was right! If you stick them on right after icing, there is no water or glue needed. The fondant pcs adhered really well with no slipping or bleeding. 
Just make sure you don't seal the fondant accented bc cake in airtight plastic. That's when the fondant can turn gooey. Just keep the cake at room temp and store in a cake box.
