Wedding Dress Trashing

The Art of Dress Destroying Photos

— August 24, 2008 — Lifestyle
“TRASHING?” Maybe we should call it RECYCLING. I mean, we spend tons of our valuable time and even more money finding the perfect wedding dress. Then we wear it one day and put it away forever… Is that what our glamorous dress really deserves? To be sitting in a box somewhere in the back of a cluttered closet??  No way. Luckily, it’s never too late to join in on the latest trend and forgo “normalcy” for a ton of fun!

The modern and chic brides of today are choosing to pull their sparkling gowns back out after their “big day” for yet another completely unforgettable experience. Whether they’re jumping in a lake, sitting in a puddle of mud, or riding a THE black stallion himself, “trash the dress” brides everywhere put themselves back into the (very deserved) spotlight and show off their sexiest smiles for the camera. Think about it for just a second. Aren’t your fave photos the super-fun ones, anyway? No one wants only perfectly posed, rigid wedding shots. Let’s get creative, folks. Find your inner model. Revel in the spotlight. Become Giselle herself. I KNOW you have it in you.

The best part is that it’s never too late to do this…even if you’ve been married 25 years you can pull your dress back out tonight and visit trashthedress.com tomorrow! What a special way to re-live the greatest day of your life. And rest assured: the results will blow your mind. You’ll impress yourself. You’ll feel gorgeous. And the dress? These exceptionally artistic and inspiring shots will turn ANY leftover stains into nothing but simply amazing memories.
