When hubbie and I were married, an acquaintance from my husband's work was very kind to make us a wedding cake. It was a round, 1 tier, white, traditional wedding fruit cake.
Today, however, there is a huge move away from the traditional fruit cake mix. Couples are looking for the simple and elegant styles and creating memories with unique wedding cakes.

Here are some factors to consider and help you refine your choice.
Wedding Cake Designs Ideas According to:
Shape of the Wedding Cake
Wedding cakes can be made in a number of shapes.
Round Wedding cakes-
can be 1 layer, but are often tiered with the layers becoming smaller as the tier rises. You can also cut up your 3 tier wedding cake, package it and use this as your wedding favor.
Square - can be the same as above
Cupcake Wedding cakes - This has become a very popular and unique wedding cake idea. The cupcakes can be decorated according to a particular colour or theme and arranged simply on glass layered plates. It is a huge success and the cupcake wedding cakes can also be given easily as a wedding gift/cake - perhaps placed in its own box, or with a patty pan with a note from the bride and groom. If I were to have my wedding again, I think I would go with this wedding cake design idea.
Mini wedding cakes - Instead of having cupcakes, you may choose to have mini cakes on displays. There are so many styles, tastes and specialty little cakes to think of or choose from - every wedding cake will be a unique wedding cake!
What colours do you have in mind for your wedding party? Well, include that colour in the cake decorations, flowers or other unique wedding toppers you may include.
Having decided on a wedding theme early on in your wedding planning can help even in the choice of your wedding cake. Depending on the theme and location of your wedding, you can choose a cake that suits. Also, the type of reception venue and the type of catering involved can help you make a wedding cake decision. Perhaps you are having an outdoor finger food reception - well a cake that can be handed out in small boxes or a truffle on a stick would be ideal.
Perhaps for an autumn theme you may choose perhaps the pinecone pyramid box with chocolates inside as pictured below.
