I just did a Trash the Dress session with my photographer on Monday. She posted the pics today and I am in love! At first, I was completely against this idea. I loved my dress and did not want to ruin it! Then the more I thought about it, what better way to enjoy my dress than to wear it one more time. I didn't completely trash it as I've seen brides have paint spilled on them and really did a number to their dress. My husband and I love to go fishing together. Our wedding had a whole fishing theme. We met at a bonfire at the river and this is where he proposed so I thought why not end the wedding experience exactly where it started. I wore my dress, he was in khaki shorts and a maroon shirt (My dress had maroon flowers on it). We had pictures taken on the tailgate of his truck, on the boat dock, some with our fishing poles, at an old mountain spring and then I actually did it...I leaped off of a huge rock and in to the river.
I'm sure that a lot of you are in the same boat as I was, cannot imagine ruining your dress. But this experience was amazing. It is so liberating and fun to just wear your dress and not worry about it. Now with my dress hanging on the the back of the bathroom door drying, I have a few more memories with it. To be honest, it didn't get THAT dirty.
