  What you're thinking of is often called a "Wear it One More Time" or "Trash the Dress" session. New-wives actually *do* wear their wedding dress again. Sometimes the husband will dress up too, but usually he's in a more casual look. Some couples go to the beach (and into the ocean), a park, a horse barn, downtown in a city, or any other place. 
  

  
  

  If you can afford it and your husband is in agreement, I think it's a great idea! Whether you wear your dress again or not is up to you. Don't forget to check out your local board for photographer suggestions!

  So its not too strange huh? Lol  My husband knows I wasn't too happy about them, but we do have  a few of US that look nice, just not what I was looking for...  I acually have a photographer friend who said she'd do a session for us for a cheap price, and she does AMAZING work!!!  Her photos are like art.  I know she would capture the beauty of the vineyard I was looking for...    The putting on my wedding dress is the one part I am unsure of...

  We did them (see siggy pic below) about 2 years after we were married.  I had always wanted to do what is commonly called here a "Bride and Groom session" but figured DH wouldn't go for it.  (I was very happy with our wedding pics, I just wanted to wear my dress again).  But we had an opportunity to do a session with a photographer who was mentoring a new photographer and needed "models." 
  
  Normally a B&G session is done within the first year of marriage and you wear your wedding dress (minus the veil) and your husband wears a regular suit (which is what my DH wore).  It is not unheard of at all and is actually very popular here in Dallas.  Trash the Dress is a bit different in that in that case, you don't worry about preserving your dress and thus can do pics in the water, mud, etc.  I wore my hair different for our B&G pics and also wore different jewelry.
  
  If you had a chance to do it, I think it would be totally fine.

  I was thinking that, but my husband doesn't want us to get all dressed up again...  I wouldn't mind it, but just may feel kind of weird... BUT I did LOVE my dress...  I didn't want to take it off... LOL I'm glad that other people do this... I was thinking it was kind of weird..

  It's done for lots of reasons:  a chance to wear your dress again but without the nervousness of the wedding day; to makeup for shots you might have missed on the wedding day; to do something more artsy without worrying about protecting your dress; or to simply have more shots in your wedding attire in case you were rushed on the wedding day, etc.
  
  Doing a regular photo shoot at the venue is a nice idea also.  There are no rules.

  What you are actually looking for is called a "Do OVer" session. You both get all dressed up in your dress and tux/shoot and do your portraits again where you want. Alot of times if you had it at a venue they will let you use the grounds again. Or find an amazing spot and redo your portraits. You can do a trash the dress but if you do it probably won't be wearable for your daughter if you wanted to save it.
