Help...need opinions on my wedding cake options

The wedding is Oct 3rd. My dress is Ivory. MOH dresses are Burnt Orange. Bridesmaid dresses are Wine. Invitations are Ivory with Brown suede and Bronze writing. Flowers are Burnt Orange and Wine (and will probably be used for cake too).

The cake below is what I am almost definitely using (minus the very botton striped tier and some other minor details). The baker and I think it is a very light chocolate buttercream with gold details. He can not do the gold details. The color options that I came up with are:

1) very light chocolate buttercream icing with dark brown details
2) very light chocolate buttercream icing with ivory details
3) ivory buttercream icing with dark brown details
4) ivory buttercream icing with very light brown details
5) ganache icing with very light brown details
6) ganache icing with ivory details

Please vote above and/or comment below on which you prefer. Thanks so much!!!!

I would do the light chocolate buttercream with ivory details to match your ivory dress, since you'll be standing next to it during all the pictures!

For anyone that is curious I decided to go with a very light chocolate cake with both ivory and dark chocolate details and fresh flowers.
