Bride Jennie and her Groom Ian brought out their inner kid by taking their pictures with DINOSAURS! Yes, you read that right! Check out their wedding highlight to see how they did this. What a fun way to kick off being married and surrounded by their wedding party! Their guests were able to catch these awesome moments with WeddingMix using their own cameras!

    I really love your last tip about embracing your inner kid. In a lot of ways, the day of your wedding is one of the last in which you can do so. I also really liked your idea of releasing the colored smoke at the reception. I am going to keep these ideas in mind for my wedding next summer!
