You could decorate any standard cake with christmas ornaments in your colors instead of flowers... Ive never seen it actually done, but I always thought it would be so different and pretty and would have if I had ended up having a christmas wedding! just be careful not to use really glittery ones so the glitter doesn't get on the icing! You could accent the ornaments with christmas greenery....
Wedding cakes in my opinion should be very simple but elegant. I would go with something that went along with the rest of your wedding. If you have poinsettas.. then go with SMALL ones on the cake maybe around the bottom? or snowflakes.. it all depends on what your "theme" is. I think that a 3 teir cake should feed 200 if the bottom is about a 15 inch and so on up getting smaller..
Three tier cake with white Marzapan Frosting (looks very smooth), with either a Ribbon made out of the same frosting, to look like a present would be very elegant, placing some folowers around the bottom and scattered all over the table...or instead of a ribbon as the decoration you could leave it plain and buy some real flowers of your choice and place a cluster on top and a few scattered on the next two layers, the flowers will not harm the cake and looks beautiful, just remember not to go over-board with them, also I would stay away from "Christmas" Pointsettias unless you want a Christmasy look, personally I would rather have the cake not look too much like a "Christmas Cake".
A simple cake (any flavor) would work and whatever color frosting, or fondant, that you want...make it a simple 1 or 2 layer cake with fondant holly leaves and berries. Then have additional sheet cakes made (the the guests never see) to be cut in the kitchen and then served. This will give you the opportunity to choose multiple cake flavors instead of just the one used for your layered cake. Also, sheet cakes are MUCH cheaper than layered ones with all the flowers etc on it.
What about a three tear wedding cake in the style of 3 Christmas presents. All wrapped up in stylish Christmas paper in icing sugar.
Good luck :-)
