I googled "trash the dress" and almost passed out at some of these pictures. Are any of you ladies doing this and what is yor motivation? If you have already done so, please post pics.

Ooops, I picked "Of course not" But I just saw the 'of course' lol.
I'm not going to "trash it" per se, however, as a wedding photographer, I like to call it "fearless" or "rocking the frock" or any other non ugly term.
It's not so much about "trashing" the dress, it should be about you going out, getting AMAZING pictures, and having fun in your dress. There's only so much you can do pre wedding when the gown needs to stay in perfect condition, but after, suddenly, laying in grass, on a dirty windo ledge, etc... isn't too bad.
The dress still cleans up, and it's something you'll have to clean anyways... why not rock the heck out of it?
While I think that a lot of TTD pictures are beautiful, I just wouldn't be able to do it. I'm not an overly setimental person when it comes to tangible possessions, but my mom bought me my dress as a gift. I wouldn't be able to bring myself to ruin it.
My favorite TTD shoot that I've seen (and it may have been on here) was a girl wearing her dress while standing in the middle of the ocean. Beautiful!
I love a good, fearless TTD session. While I don't think I could ever destroy my dress (mainly because I can wear it again!), I love the pictures these sessions create.
I loved the pictures that were on that website. So cute! But I don't think I could trash my dress! ;]
Love the photos! ... another option is to purchase a "disposable dress". I bought a $99 David's Bridal dress (as a second dress) just to trash it. It is still a really nice "classic" dress and I hope it works out!
Oh how fun Melissa!!!!
I am totally doing it. We are getting married at RedRocks and there are tons of places to get dirty. I'm thinking of going down to the stage and fake run up the incredibly steep set of stairs (marathon people train on these!). There is also a creek/river that runs behind the reception venue and I want to stand in the middle of it if I can. Then I bought the knockoff and I want to get tin snips (big scissors you use to cut sheet metal) and cut it up and throw the satin pieces in the air.
I wish I had the guts to but whether I spend $5,000 dollars or $500 on a dress I can't see me destroying it.
Our #1 pick for photographer was booked for our date, I'm hoping to book him for a "wear it again" session after of just FI & I. Hoping to take fun shots around the city.
Not engaged yet, but I think I'd do it! I love this one, it's beautiful. http://gallery.weddingbee.com/photo/mrs-es-trash-the-dress-shots-pool-kiss
I also like the idea of doing it at the beach in the ocean.
i REALLY wanted to wear my dress to the state fair...
and then i fell in love with the dress and realized i'd have to wait an entire year to do so, since im getting married After the fair...
d'oh - we totally should have had a pool kiss! what a wasted opportunity, hahaha.
not in my real dress because I hope to sell it as soon as possible. But if I used a different, cheaper dress, then maybe.
I think the pictures you get from a TTD session are often gorgeous, but I would much rather donate my dress than trash it.
BUT, I like the idea of "rock the frock" KLP brought up. Some unexpected shots that aren't as pristine but don't actually trash the dress sound like fun. It would just be VERY important for me to be able to clean and donate the dress.
I think TTD sessions are amazing! :) I wouldn't personally *TRASH* it so it's not wearable anymore. Some photos I've seen had the dress lit up on fire and the girl ripping her dress to shreds. That I would not do.
But I am definitely willing to get a little dirty and possibly even go for a swim at the beach ( i love ttd sessions at the beach).. as long as dry cleaning can fix it up, i would say go for it. But then again, I'm a photog so I care more for the photos than the actual dress.
For some reason the poll won't let me vote, maybe my alter ego voted earlier unbeknownst to me?
Anyways, my answer is "no way!" I have a built-in thing in my brain that would not allow me to waste or destroy anything knowingly. I even get anxiety attacks when they do that plate breaking thing at Greek tavernas :)
No way! My dress was too expensive and because it's not white I'm hoping to get the chance to wear it again. :)
trash the dress, absolutely not, but the rock the frock "dirtier" photos, not a bad idea!!!!
I SO, so, SO want to do a TTD shoot with my photog! I don't know if I have the guts to do with my actual dress (as I want to try to re-sell it!), but I've been on the lookout for a cheap dress that I can trash!
Probably not. But we are going to get some amazing pics at a state park nearby that's oceanfront (and totally otherworldly) and will have a beachy bridal type of sundress on that can get wet if need be! I want a cool shoot that has bride-ish elements to it, but not gonna trash it.
we will be doing TTD pictures, but im not planning on actually trashing my amazing dress! we're taking picturs up in the mountains where i grew up in a field.
YES! Ths is my most exciting part of the wedding! I'm so beyond stoked to do this Trash the Dress. We are doing it on my Mother's horse farm and it has a river flowing through it, it's going to be AWESOME! We already picked out poses and places to climb on and run around on, which horse to ride bare back... needless to say I'm so freaking excited for this!
I had never heard about this before I came on WB. I don't think it is a Canadian custom - or at least not a very common custom.
I AM! However, you dont have to actually trash your "wedding gown". My sister in law bought another cheap white dress and used that. that's what I plan to do....especially for FREE PICTURES!
Hmm...I might. But like some of you, I feel terrible about "trashing" a very expensive dress.
No way. It cost way too much money and I love it too much to "trash" it.
After seeing Mrs. Seabreeze's pics, I SO want to get pics like that... http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/11/12/dw-in-the-dr-trash-the-dwess/
I love the idea of doing a TTD session, but I don't think I could do it :( I love pool shots though! Unfortunately, neither my fiance nor I can swim haha!
I'm thinking we'll do a "rock the dress" shoot where I won't trash it but get a lot of alternate photos in my dress still.
I def don't think so. If I do...you'll know I've lost my mind. I am however loving the buy another dress and trash it idea.
I will be doing this with my huni. But we are waiting til 3 weeks after our wedding/honey moon as we have our "after wedding reception" two weeks later. then I am off to volunteer at a camp which is on an island... the same camp we have rented for the wedding. My fiance is going to be coming up to visit as he has no more vacation days after our wedding! but the day he comes up to visit we have permission form the camp directors to take some photos and jump in the ocean!
All along I've thought there's just no way I'll be willing to get my gorgeous dress dirty and wet but after seeing people like Mrs. Sea Breeze...I may have rethink my original plan. I love the idea in theory, just not sure how willing I'll be when the time comes!!
I will definitely have fun in the dress more like a rock the frock than a trash the dress type thing... but we'll see whta M says lol...
I don't think I need even more pictures of myself in my dress than I'll get on my wedding day with our photographer who will be with us the entire day. I think the wedding is more about myself and my fiance than it is about a fashion shoot of myself.
Not for me. There are tons of pics that I aboslutely loved, but I think I want to resell mine and I feel like we will have taken so many pics by then that it would be overkill for us.
