Help me choose a cake flavor!

Y'all, I am struggling with this, and we are finalizing cake flavors tonight. We are getting a 5-tier semi naked cake with chocolate drizzle, fresh berries, and fresh flowers. And even though I love chocolate cake, we don't want the cake to be dark in color. That much I do know. The hard part is...

Y'all, I am struggling with this, and we are finalizing cake flavors tonight. We are getting a 5-tier semi naked cake with chocolate drizzle, fresh berries, and fresh flowers. And even though I love chocolate cake, we don't want the cake to be dark in color. That much I do know. The hard part is choosing the cake flavor/filling combos. I can choose a different flavor for each tier or do the entire thing one flavor. BUT I CAN'T DECIDE!!! It's a summer wedding, so I'm thinking "light & fresh." Something like berries, fruit filling, cream, etc. We are not using fondant...because, gross. So, I know it'll be buttercream. But again, there are different flavors of buttercream that can be chosen. I'm leaning towards vanilla cake with strawberry filling (like strawberry shortcake). But I also like: keylime pie, banana, raspberry, lemon, etc. I just really want my cake to be a WOW factor! HELP!! What flavor combo would you pick? Any suggestions? What would make you happy as a guest? Literally any input can help me at this point, lol. TIA

    Vanilla is always a safe bet. The strawberry shortcake is a great idea. Personally, my pick would be Key Lime but I'm sure that wouldn't be the biggest hit.

    Lemon and raspberry or orange would be fun and summery!

    I love raspberry! Our filling is dark chocolate/raspberry Smiley smile a strawberry shortcake sounds like it would be great too though, and perfect for summer.

    We picked our flavors yesterday!
    We're doing pink champagne with strawberry filling and marble with vanilla and chocolate custard (1 layer of each).
    My fiance and I originally wanted a chocolate cake because we both love chocolate! We were also concerned about the look of it.
    Vanilla cake with strawberry or raspberry would be delicious!
