Thank you for all your replies. We got something sorted today. The whole cake will be gluten-free and will have the same design. We were referred to a retired cake decorator and baker who'd had experience in gluten-free and she said she'd be willing to do it just this once.
The cost will be about double that of the original, but that's ok. Great someone cares enough to do it. I'll let you know how it is.
*sighs of relief*
I'm So glad for you! I bet no one will even know it's gluten-free unless you tell them!

Phew! I was really worried about you. You will have a wonderful wedding, you'll feel healthy and have an awesome honeymoon. This will be one of the very best times of your life. Congratulations and have fun!
Thanks everyone for being so supportive. The day came and it was absolutely great. I feel so guilty now for contemplating eating a normal cake.
The gluten free wedding cake was so good. We didn't even tell anyone else I'm celiac, only the venue staff knew and everything served was gluten free.
Had it not been for this forum I don't think we would have been convinced to make alternative plans, so once again THANK YOU!
We're on our honeymoon at the moment, and the gluten-free food offerings have been really good, too!
That's AWESOME! If I'd known then what I know now, I would have gone gluten free BEFORE my wedding instead of waiting until afterwards. My wedding was Sept 10 and my last day of consuming gluten was Sept 13. While my wedding day was all that I wanted it to be, I definately did not enjoy is like I could have had I felt the way I do now. Instead I had two of the WORST mouth sores I've ever had in my life, my hemrroids were HORRIBLY painful, my body ached, etc...
