Trash the dress?

while look for photographers I have been seeing alot of this "Trash the dress" sessions and I wanted to ask would you do this, it looks kinda fun and I am sure I will never wear the dress again what do yall think?

The frugal part of me just finds this ridic. I probably won't wear my wedding dress again either, and I can't imagine why someone would trash it instead of sell it, if you're never going to wear it again anyway.

true, just me personally I really dont want anyone else ever wearing my dress except maybe my daughter and lets face facts that hardly happens anymore I guess I am just selfish i dunno

I don't think I am. It's just not my style and I don't know if I could deal with getting something so expensive and pretty dirty!

Honestly after e-pics, wedding pics, b-pics, hm pro-pics and trash the dress pics it starts to get a little narcissistic don't you think? I mean what is one person going to do with that many pictures of themselves?

None of the options really apply to me.  I'm not doing it because I don't really see the point, not because I want to save the dress.

None of the options apply to me.  I didn't do them because after all of the other pictures the last thing we needed was a bunch more pictures of me.  Like PP I find them very narcissistic.

Yep! I can't wait to trash it.

This is my inspiration:

I can't wait!

Haha panda!

I like ROCK the dress better than trash the dress, but I do agree, it is a little narcissistic.  If I did anything, I would get a dress off Craigslist or Ebay or Goodwill and do a Rock the dress, those look really fun.  I've already sold my own dress, but I wouldn't trash it anyway, I liked it too much.

I'm not doing a trash the dress session. The photos look really cool and artsy, but like other pps said, what would I do with more pics of just me?

I also couldn't bring myself to destroy a beautiful/expensive dress.  I haven't decided yet whether I will save my dress as a keepsake, try to sell it, or donate it.

i couldn't do that to my dress at all. I decided that i would have it altered into just a ball gown since we go to a lot of balls. With the amount i am paying for my dress, I want all the wear out of it I can get.

BTW, great poll, camo!

I'm getting mine preserved. I thought about doing a RTD prior to getting it preserved, but I really don't think I'd be able "loosen up" enough to actually enjoy the shoot.

FWIW, I pretty much considered it because I love how the pics usually look, but also because we didn't do e-pics, I didn't do b-pics, and we kept the actually wedding photos extremely simple, I didn't even get "getting dressed" photos done (We had the basic formals, 2 or 3 "special" shots, and then candids for the rest of the night). I thought a RTD would be something neat and special to do ... but now that everything's over, I'm really just not seeing the need for the photos.
