Jurassic Jamboree: a dinosaur wedding with tacos, T-Rex heels, and a golden claw

The bride at this dinosaur wedding wore amazing gold glitter T-Rex heels that made her feel like an ancient force of nature along with her gigantic King Protea bouquet, crown of succulents, and golden claw.

What happens when a fire truck crashes a wedding? A little magic

You know we love us a sweet and tiny courthouse wedding. It’s one of our favorite kinds of small weddings and elopements! And this one has a little detail that we adored: a fire truck that was very special to the groom, a firefighter.
