Certain couples prefer an ordinary wedding. But there are people who want to portray how unique they are. There are many ways in which you can do that. One of the ways is to have a unique wedding cake. For instance Actor Blair Underwood had a cake that was a replica of the Eifel Tower. It was as huge as six feet with real lights for show!
There are couples who have designed their cakes in the form of a swimming pool with swans and ribbons and so on; all made of icing. You can also decide to have your cake in the shape of cartoon characters. It really adds colour to party. Your cakes can have layers each having a different flavor. You can also decorate the layers with ribbons and flowers all made of icing.
You also get cupcake wedding cakes. All you need to do is buy a cupcake tree and the decorate them to make them look exciting. There are varieties of cakes that you can choose from. Just go to your baker and brainstorm for ideas. You must also keep in mind that you have to shell out extra to get the exclusivity. But I guess that should not bother you if you really want to set your self above the ordinary.

Try to look for more than one option. Once that is done, then comes the budget. If you have a limited budget to work on, then try and see where all you can curtail costs.
Make a list of everything that you need to buy. Once the list is done, try and stick to the budget. Do not keep adding to the list unnecessarily. You can even talk to your local merchants for a good discount. Decide on how many people you want to invite and what the menu should be. Food is one place where you must not compromise on the basis of cost. You can cut out on the frills but do not compromise on the quality of your food.
