Need Help Fast - Will My Ri Melt In The Fridge?

It would be safer to wait until morning. I don't know for sure that the whipped icing and refrigeration (and possibility of condensation when they come out of the fridge), but my philosophy is "better safe than sorry".
I have refrigerated RI flowers overnight on American buttercream with just a little softening on the edges, but I haven't used whipped icing.
Sorry I can't be more help, but if you can, why not wait?
there is a good chance that it will melt, so I agree, rather safe than sorry 
I'm decorating cupcakes with my royal icing flowers. I made the RI flowers last night. I'm placing them onto my whipped frosting. I plan to refrigerate until tomorrow. Will the RI melt? Should I wait to decorate before I plan to leave?? Thanks so much.
Yes! Do not put RI decorations in the refrigerator, ever! They will melt. This is the first thing they teach in the Wilton course.
RI needs air. Even when you make them, do not store them in air tight containers. A shirt box type of thing works best.
I would put them on at the last minute before I serve them.
If the RI pieces are absolutely dry, an air-tight container is fine. The problem is if there is any moisture remaining within the piece, mold and other nasties can set in. I have air-tight containers from flowers I made a year ago, and they're fine. I made absolutely sure that they were dry, though. In my area, the ant problem pretty much prevents keeping anything in non-airtight containers.
