sneak peaks:
Themes
My own wedding had a seaside theme, so colors consisted of a wide range of blue, various seashell elements (real shells and chocolate shells), rope netting, chocolate and gummi fish, and other beachy-items.
Chocolate shells, edible pearls, and rope fondant are en example of popular cake decorations for such a theme. Here's and example.

When choosing your cake...
Things to think about: flavor, filling, and frosting.
Consider shape and configuration.
Decide how many people will attend your reception.
Do you have a theme and specific color combination?

Fresh Flowers
Frosting flowers taste good, but fresh flowers really make a cake.
Not only do they look gorgeous cascading down the side of a cake or placed on several tiers, but they also set the stage around the base on a cake table.
Consider in-season flowers that will match your wedding colors.
