Koni actually read my mind somehow...

in that thread he posted a cupcake wedding cake - while the display thing it's on is tough to find... a regular cake plate would work fine... and they're pretty, tasty, and frosting roses aren't that hard to make...

Inexpensive NOT cheap...
I've been in one, and been to a few...
Drawbacks - especially for those in the wedding - it's early... especially if you need to do something with your hair...
Plusses... it's generally a brunch wedding, so it's not rubber chicken, soggy pasta or overcooked beef... breakfast foods can't really be ruined...
Mimosas are deadly... (but you can use sparkling wine rather than champagne. Bloody Marys are tasty but watch spillage on light colored dresses.
Not many are up for dancing at noonish... so the whole reception kind changes and it's more socializing than partying... you can get away with just background music playing...
If you aren't having it at a reception hall - you could also consider a late afternoon cocktail/hors dourves reception - and pass on the rubbery chicken/soggy pasta/overcooked beef.. and just have trays of hors dourves passed... (the hors dourves can be bought cheap enough at either the grocery store or even costco i'd imagine - then hire 2-3 high schoool students to pass them)
go to the library and check out some wedding on a budget books for some ideas - there are tons written on teh subject...
