We bought a 4 tier cake stand ($38) and are purchasing cheesecakes from Costco, they are $9.99 each and we are decorating them with fresh rose petals.
The cheesecake is excellent, you can order in advance and ask them to not score them, they just purchase about a 2" wide ribbon in your wedding color to wrap around the outside of each one and no one will know it didn't come from a bakery!
I am doing the same thing, I bought a Wilton brand 3 tier cake stand at Michael's. It was normally 59.99 but I used a coupon (It is easy to find coupons, just google "Michael's coupon printable") and got it for a lot less.
I am also going to dress mine up with either flowers or premade gum paste flowers.
LOVE the ribbon idea, thanks!!!
