My beautiful niece and nephew-in-law !!!Conspiring to do the "Cake Smash" Amanda was a First Fruits Catering site manager for several years… She knew exactly how she wanted the entire wedding to unfold. And I am so impressed with what a perfect wedding it was  :~)

The same florals were used throughout, Strawberry Cream Punch flowed from the elegant fountain.

And then the Wedding Cake….. “Over the Top”…. Amanda  sketched out the complete design for the wedding cake. The horse and carriage was sentimental of the memory of Travis proposing to her at the Biltmore Estate during a horse draw carriage ride :~) Soooo fairy tale perfect .right…!
