Nora’s Cake Smash | Groovy Cake Smash Photoshoot
Planning Nora’s Groovy Cake Smash was so much fun! I had the idea to do the shoot in front of a real Volkswagen Bus and I’m so glad I did! It turned out so cute and exactly how I envisioned! Caden and I had a Volkswagen Photobooth Bus at our wedding, so we contacted them to see if they’d be interested in being a part of our shoot and they were super excited to work with us on this! They were even able to schedule us with the exact same bus we had for our wedding, which was so special to us!
The weather that day had us (me) so stressed and coming up with backup plan after backup plan. But the lighting storms took a pause JUST long enough for us to shoot and I’m so grateful! We were even able to sneak in some family and sibling photos in the bus in our groovy matching family shirts, and I’m so glad we have those to look back on! We also took her photos with her own little VW Bus that I made for her out of an old Cozy Coupe!
As far as cake smash decor, we kept it super simple with these amazing handmade pom-pom daisies that I lined up over the bumper of the van! I’m obsessed with how it turned out! They seriously look like they were made for that bus! I had Nora in her adorable bell bottom outfit and a cute little groovy party hat to complete the look! She sat on a shaggy pink rug with a giant disco ball and looked so DARLING!
I loved the idea of doing a shag cake for her party but was worried about the June heat melting it and making a giant mess, so we decided to do the shag cake for her cake smash photoshoot instead! I made it myself and I’m so proud of how it turned out! It was such an easy design, matched the theme perfectly, and looked amazing with her cute cake topper on it!
Here’s how it all turned out!
