Hey ladies.....I was just asked to make my first wedding cake. She wants the square style with no tiers. My question is when you stack your cake upon one another 4 cake high ... what do I put between my layers and how does the cake itself not collapse?
for a start on an answer, please see this article:

You use cake boards and dowel rods. Thye give it the support it needs not to collapse
Just want to give you a heads-up on the proper terminology so the replies make sense to you:
Layer - 2 or 3 inch cake
Tier - 2 layers, usually with some sort of filling between. Your wedding cake will be 4 tiers.
Pillars - Vertical rods placed between tiers to elevate and leave empty space between tiers. (I believe this is what you're saying the bride does NOT want)
Stacked construction - Tiers placed directly on top of each other with no space inbetween.
Hope this helps!
