In this case, you will focus on lighting, table décor, and flowers. In another case, if you are planning to get married in an indoor resort or banquet, the wedding cake will not require lighting and so much décor because the venue staff will do that at their end. But, yes you should focus on whether the cake display is matching your wedding theme or not.
