Whimsical Cake Smash
For this St. Johns, Florida cake smash session, we designed a dreamy setup incorporating princesses, butterflies, and florals, all brought together in the softest shades of pink and purple. The goal was to create a whimsical, storybook-inspired set that felt sweet, elegant, and playful all at once.
We layered props to make the set truly pop. Soft florals added texture and depth, while delicate butterflies gave the scene that extra touch of enchantment. The center of the design featured custom cutout characters — a princess, a princess carriage, and a fairytale castle that anchored the entire backdrop. These statement pieces made the set feel straight out of a storybook.
By combining layered elements with a cohesive blush and lavender color palette, we created beautiful dimension while keeping the focus on our birthday girl. If you're looking for custom cake smash themes in St. Johns, FL, this is exactly the kind of detailed, one-of-a-kind setup I love to create.
The picture below is the cutouts I designed and placed in Photoshop that I print out to make the cutouts! We ended up just using the one princess, as it popped a little better than the purple princess. For a complete tutorial, see my tiktok account @laurenfriedmanphotos!
