You know, I have been thinking about doing this type of session for a long time. However, I didn't know how I would *market* this to brides. Well, I waited to long. The idea is out, all over the nation, brides are trashing their dresses. I stumbled across this site: www.trashthedress.com and the idea of doing sessions like this just gets me more and more excited. I know, I know, your dress is sentimental to you.
Well I came up with pros and cons of Trashing your Dress.
Cons
1. Your dress cost a LOT of money.
2. You want to save it for your daughter
PROS
1. Your dress cost a lot of money~ So, make sure you have as many memories of it as you can.
2. You don't have to only wear it once. Get it dirty and have photographic memories of how beautiful you looked in it, how you felt in it, you might as well I mean come on, do you really think your daughter is going to want to wear it?!
3. Trashing your dress will be fun!
I like how the Trash your Dress website put it.
"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! "
So, if you are interested in TRASHING YOUR DRESS (after the wedding of course), let me know. Let's set something up, it will be fun, I promise!
P.S. I am looking for willing models to help me out with this, you will need to provide your own dress. Please email me for details. photosbyrachel@aol.com
Now come on, LET'S TRASH THAT DRESS!

Rachel! I am not getting married or even have a boyfriend but I LOVE this idea. I'm totally up for it! I'll let you know... when my time comes. Except we're a nation away from each other. (: Blessings!
P.S. It would be super fun to do something like this in other formals... Groups of friends after prom, etc... (;
Ok, I am going to hold you to it. ;)
