Well I really wanted to do this, but then I decided not to. reason being is my father bought my bridal outfit and I think he would be very hurt or upset if i destroyed the dress. plus I feel like I shouldnt have a say because I didnt buy it :X
It's not me at all. I don't see the point of ruining a perfectly good dress. If not saving it as a hand down, I would sell it to both recoup some cost and give another bride the chance to have a great dress at a discounted price. Further, I will have tons of pictures of myself from the wedding, why do I need more? I am so not the center of attention type, and really, that is partly the point of TTD -- you become a model doing art photos if just for a day. More power to a bride who does it, but I'll pass.
this is crazy!!!! your wedding dress trashed!??!!? NO FREACKING WAY!!!! first off it would be really disrispectful towards my parents since they got it for me, second because it is something that would last forever.. it is a memory..it will the happiest memory of your life, and all the time you will look at it it will remind you of your perfect wedding day! i decided that i will keep the whole outfit, gown, bolero, shoes, jewelry and veil...i wont sell anything of it! :)
@Bimba - it's called a trash the dress, but there are different degrees of it. you can go all out and literally trash it, but my photographer describes it as a "rock the dress" if you prefer..basically a post-wedding bridal shoot.
bimba -- There are brides on here who plan to TTD. While I obviously understand your point of view, just be careful about how you phrase it regarding others choosing to do so.
Also, krissycake has a good point. I have seen trash the dress pictures where the bride's dress is on fire while she is wearing it! And I have seen some where she is walking on the beach and has sand on her. It doesn't have to ruin it.
We live by a river, I have seen girls go into the MISSISSIPPI and trash it, I just don't know how I feel about it. I was thinking getting a cheap dress and trashing it, but my real dress will be sitting on my dress form for the first couple months... the dress is what pushed back my wedding in the first place.
I might do it since I'm on the hunt for a cheaper dress as I'll be changing into it halfway through the reception. I'll be wearing heavy Indian sarees for the ceremony and beginning of the reception.
I saw one on the boards in which the girl smoked on her dress and then burned it! OMG! I couldn't do that, even with a cheap dress.
I like the shoot where people do down to the beach or a lake/pond. The way white wedding dresses float in the water is so ethereal. I'd love to do a trash the dress shoot in a misty forest! Actually, I'd just love to do it in New Zealand, its the perfect setting.
I'm seconding krissycake.
Trash the dress sessions vary greatly. The majority end up being just plain and simple "day after" shoots where you might be a little more adventurous as far as where you go because you're not AS worried to get your dress dirty. Some brides will be up for getting into some water or rolling around a beach. Some brides take it to more extreme measures and paint their dresses or yes, even burn them up in flames.
Let's just remember that every bride has the right to do what they want with their dress :)
I really want to do a TTD session, so I'm thinking about buying a cheap dress and doing a session with that one. I just think it would be so much fun, but I can't bring myself to trash my actual wedding gown!
I love the shots in the water!

i love the pictures, especially the ones where they're covered in paint because i'm an artist.... but i could never do it to my dress. i love my dress. that's why i got it.
Another option I've seen is buying a 2nd MUCH Cheaper dress and using it as the TTD dress.
i bought my dress already knowing i wanted to do a ttd. although i think we're going for more of the rock the dress than straight out trashing it - although who knows what we feel like that day. bottom line, the photos and video that we get out of the trash the dress (or rock the dress) session is worth way way more to me than the actual dress itself. to each their own :)
I'm planning on doing a trash the dress because I like the idea...Not of actually "trashing" my dress but of wearing it again and having pictures taken of it in a different atmosphere. As krissycake wrote above - I see it more of a "rock the dress" shoot than a trash the dress shot.
My best friend did TTD pics, but she didn't by any means ruin her dress. A few weeks after they got back from their honeymoon, she had a photog come and take pictures of her riding her horse in her wedding dress. The pics were Uh-May-Zing!
I don't plan on ever ruining my dress, but I'll definetly do some "artistic" or "rock the dress" pics. I might even steal her idea and ride my horse in my dress, just cause the pics my BF took were so great.
I like the Idea "Trash the dress". It's definitely something different you will remember. As mentioned, I think the best way to do it is not trashing your dress, but wear it again for some amazing pictures. Not something like that :-)
I prefer soemthing like this:

Have a great day.

I have been looking at photographers that have a "trash the dress" picture option. Now that got me thinking:
Would you would go about doing this? I have been thinking about it if I don't get a real expensive dress. I feel like it would be something different....what does everyone else think?! And if you have, let me know too!
Any good trash the dress pictures you have found or did?
