Buttercream frosting is made by combining a fat (butter or shortening) with sugar; both fat and sugar tend to soften and eventually melt in warm weather. Any buttercream frosting will melt if left in a warm room or outside in the sun in warm weather.

I threw out the ingredients you need for a packet cake mix. what should you put in the icing?

If you threw the ingredients out for the packet cake mix, you don't have a cake to make. Normally, packet cake mixes don't come with mix-it-yourself icing -- but if it did, and you did throw it out, try making a basic buttercream frosting. Go to foodnetwork.com or allrecipes.com and look up one that you like.

Where can I find a wedding cake that is good but cheap?

I would ask your friends and family for recommendations. Someone may offer to help you by baking your cake for you. Another idea would be to do several tiers of cupcakes arranged to look like a single cake! That would give you lots of options for frosting and even different cake flavors, and it would be much cheaper than finding a professionally done wedding cake.
