I think it's kind of a cool idea. The one at our table would be bigger for the cake cutting and when it came time to eat wedding cake, the servers could just bring out cake cutters and people could serve themselves however much they wanted. I think it would work because the venue has different spaces for each of the dinner, dancing and the ceremony, so even though dinner will be outside in most-likely warm weather, the cakes (as centerpieces) only need to be on the tables during dinner.
What do you think? I'll be over here in my princess bed watching Grey's reruns while you think about it.

We did the same thing but with much less fancy cakes, but then we got married in a history museum in the upper midwest. We thought it looked good, people seemed to like it and it absolutely slashed the flower bill and, surprisingly enough, the cake bill, too-- ~20 individual cakes were substantially cheaper than one big cake.
