Trash the Dress Photo Shoot!

[{sarah}]

Has anyone done one??

Go ahead, you know you want to. Trash it. Get it dirty. Get it wet. Roll around in the mud. Drench it in the ocean. Totally trash it. Why?? Why not? You've made a commitment to your husband. He's your one and only true love, right? Then you'll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won't wear it in 20-30 years. So you have two choices: 1) Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet 2) Show your husband how commited you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun pictures while you do it!

I'm thinking of trying to lose two dress sizes (eep!) to do it on our tenth anniversary next year. I also have the perfect location/s picked for it I would also love to shoot one, I think it would be soooo much fun.

OMG no! My dress is a work of art!

Mine is an awesome dress, but it's still sitting in the bag I brought it home from the wedding almost nine years ago!! I'm not going to totally destroy it, I was just thinking of some fun photos out in a field or on a beach or something. I want to wear it again! I have seen some awesome ones in water at the beach though. Probably helps though that my dress was around $500 compared to some it was quite cheap!

The beach shoot sounds fun, but buggered if I could roll around in the MUD!

[Lisa]

Ha! It sounds great, except that almost everything mentioned there happened to my poor dress on my wedding day
It poured down rain for our 'beach' wedding... the beach had that black sand which then stuck to my dress as well as regular sand, and fresh grass clippings... then there was dirty corridors at the reception place, which combined with the rain made mud. Thankfully the dry cleaners were able to get everything out though

i have never heard of that before!!! sounds like fun!

[Oorki Galoorki]

that sounds awesome!!!! i would love to do it even in my mega $$ princess dress!!

would you get your hair done for the shoot?? similar to how you had it???

[{sarah}]

Dunno, I was thinking of having heavier make up done, like dark smokey eyes, I hadn't thought about hair but thinking now, I'd probably try something totally different.

[Heaven]

omg I couldn't!!!!

[briggsy's girl]

sounds like great fun - buy after DH paid so much for my dress (insisted on buying not hiring!) i couldn't do it! would love to do a beach shoot at twilight though - reckon i could pay out for dry cleaning again for sand and a "little" salt water!

[Olive]

i saw some pics of someone else who had done the same thing! looks like a great idea!!

[AngelPunks]

I trashed the dress but for purely destructive reasons - geeze it felt good watching things go up in smoke!

[alioops]

I asked DH, He said no might have to work on that.

It does sound like a lot of fun though!!

You can do TTD without actually trashing it though. Google about and see.

Sometimes it can have more to do with the location, scenery and accessories than getting into mud or whatever. Though I do like the ones that end up sopping wet

Melani will do one say when Ruby is a bit bigger!

i didnt even think to ask my DH if i could do it! hehe

[Trillian]

I couldn't do it to mine, even though it is wrapped in tissue paper and hasn't seen the light of day since I put it away LOL.

[Glamourcide]

But I think it'd be SO fun to have a dinner where everyone wears their own wedding dresses.

Haha, I'd participate in something like that just to see the looks on the waiter/waitress's faces!! They'd think we were all completely out of our minds!

Aww that dress is just BEAUTIFUL, I always swore we'd have to renew our vows one of these days now that we can actually afford to have a big wedding just so I can finally have my white dress... not that I'm in any way disappointed over our wedding, we did it our way completely - the bride wore black and the groom wore Chuck Taylors!!
I wish the lighting in this one was better because you can barely see DH's face for the glare!! *grr @ sunset*
I'm suprised how it really wasn't so obvious I was five and a half months pregnant!

The photographer who did my maternity and Byrons newborn photos does the 'trash the dress' shoots. They look awesome, i have often thought about it myself but even after 3 years of having the dress just packed away doing nothing i still cant bring myself to do it just yet (probabky wouldnt fit anyway lol)
