Open Question: Cupcakes instead of wedding cake – cute or tacky?

Hey,

I’m getting married next June, and it’s going to be a beach wedding in Oahu, Hawaii. My fiance and I never wanted a huge wedding – no puffy white dress and no over the top flowers etc. When my mother asked us what kind of cake we would like, we simultaneously said “cupcakes” – as in several tiers of them, built up like a wedding cake would be. My mother doesn’t really approve, and thinks it’s tacky – she’s a very traditional woman. They wouldn’t be hideous cupcake or anything, they’d fit in with the theme of the wedding – yellow and lilac.

What do you guys think?
