But don't be fooled by their billowing beauty; these smoke bombs can get quite hot, so be sure to give them time to cool down before properly disposing of them. And use common sense -- i.e. avoid dry fields, forests or any other area that could potentially catch fire. Head here for even more safety tips.

Below are 19 magical wedding pics that are quite literally "the bomb."
