i just have one question is a 14" 12" and a 10" ok?? or is that going to look to big and bulky?? I'm worried it will just look like a big pile of cake....its for a little over 100 people....
According to the Wilton charts for wedding cakes (which is the chart you should consult for serving sizes) a 6/9/12 = 100 servings, including the top tier. I personally think that's more visually pleasing, but every wedding cake I do has a 6" top tier, without exception. If you're working with florists, they will expect your top tier to be 6" in diameter.
If they are planning to save the top tier, then 6/8/10/12 = 120.
I personally think that a 10" looks too chunky for a top tier. But that is just my opinion. But then, I do about 100 weddings a year, and pretty much do wedding cakes exclusively. But still, just my opinion.
So using the great tutorial on CC about how to draw cakes, here's a 10 12 14:

Are you using Wilton counts? then that serves 172.
Will they be cutting the top tier or saving it for the 1 yr. Anniversary?
I like the look of a tiered cake with tiers that have at least 4" difference in size from the one they are stacked on. Now, I have done 14, 12, 10,8, and 6, and because it was so tall and had 5 tiers it looked nice. I'm a little concerned that the 14,12, and 10 will look short and stumpy. Maybe add a 6" on top of the 10, if the client is set on those numbers. HTH 
The 10 on the top will be way to big. It won't look rihgt, like half the cake is missing! The largest top I've even done is a 7, and even that was pushing it.
I agree, I think the 10" top will look too big & like you forgot to put the "real" top tier on the cake. You need something smaller, I would recommend a 6" top. I'm assuming since you are new to this, you probably don't have a lot of pan sizes, so how about a 14" - 10" - 6" since you already have the 14" & the 10"???
That should give you enough cake, looks nice together (exactly 4 inches between each tier) & I know you can buy the 6" pans at Wal-mart in the craft dept. for only about $5.00 a piece so you wouldn't be putting out much more money than you have already spent on pans.

It would be a great help.
Thank you.
