How Tall Are Your Wedding Cake Tiers?

I just made my first one and I had 2 2" layers of cake in each tier, then plus filling, icing and the cake board, they were probably close to 5". Personally, I like that look and I think it looks more "professional" and less "home baker" when the tiers are on the tall side.
I agree that a taller cake looks more professional. The cake itself is about 4" when I do it but after adding in three layers of filling and one layer of frosting, that adds in at least another 1/2 inch or so.
It all depends on the look you're trying for though. There are 3" cake pans out there also and those won't be as tall when finished as 2 2" pans are. I've seen cakes that have one tier be twice as tall as the rest or other cakes that are only 2" in a tier.
