Trash the Dress



So the big thing on the nest (it's the married version of the knot if you're not familiar) is "Trash the Dress". You can check it out at: Trash the Dress

Basically you get to wear your wedding dress one last time for a photo shoot.

From their website: "The concept is to take a care-free attitude into your photo shoot and not worry about what happens to the dress. The session is to Symbolically show your husband that you’ll never need the dress again, and have fun doing it! Not everyone really wants to shred their dress beyond recognition, but if they do- great!"

Sometimes in mud, sometimes in water- tons of options. I don't know how I feel about it. Some of the pictures are gorgeous and they look like they'd be fun... What do you guys think? Weird? Interesting?

Here are some of my favorite shoots:

Louisiana Mud Trashing

Malibu Trashing

Kelly Moore's Trashing

Any takers? :)

love the photos, but i designed and made my gown and spent so many hours slaving over it, that i'm just not sure i want to trash it. it could be a family heirloom someday, maybe? herm... on the other hand, i may be too thin to wear it again if i wait too long, and that could be a good thing, so maybe.... i am actually thinking about this...
