Trash the Dress

A typical bride spends years fantasizing over her dream wedding dress. She spends months visiting every bridal boutique within a four-hour drive in search of 'the one.' And when she finds it, she often spends thousands of dollars to make it hers. But when her wedding day finally arrives, she usually wears her wedding dress for less than 10 hours. TOTAL!

More and more brides are beginning to realize the sheer insanity of spending so much time, energy and money on a dress that they will wear for half a day. So they do what any other level-headed gal would do-- they trash their dress! The 'Trash the Dress' session is becoming a popular event in which the couple goes out with their photographer after the wedding day and takes all of the pictures they couldn't take on their wedding day for fear of getting their wedding duds dirty. And we're talking dirty. Really dirty. D-I-R-T-Y.

Dirty like rolling around on a beach.

Seriously dirty. They call it 'Trash the Dress' because your dress is often trashed by the end of it. Just the idea of wrecking a beautiful wedding dress sends some women running in horror. But others find it liberating to trash every last penny out of their dress. What do you think? Love the idea or hate it? Will your wedding dress be trashed in the name of some truly unique wedding pics or will it stay well-preserved in a dusty box in the attic?
