Trash the Dress

Trash the dress is sweeping the nation, and is bang on trend. From boudoir photography, before your big day, to trash the dress, which is a fantastic way to re-use your dress after your wedding.

There are many trends within photography, but one which seems to have increasing interest from brides across the world. The trend we are speaking about is ‘Trash the Dress’.  This trend has taken over the USA by storm, and is set to do the same in the UK.

Trash the dress, is also known as rock the frock as well as cherish the dress. It is a style of wedding photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is completely out of place. The photography style is usually that of fashion or glamour photography.

But what is it?

Well it’s not necessarily about destroying or trashing the dress, but about creating wonderful, unusual and fashion like images of you in your wedding dress in different locations. Your Trash the dress photo shoot can be in the local town, city, park, beach, or woodland.

Trash the dress is about re-using your wedding dress, and is for those who are not quite ready to have their dress put away to be hidden in a box until the end of time.

“It doesn't have to be extreme, but it is a good excuse to wear your wedding dress again.” Explains Martin from Dobege Photography.

You can be as creative as you like, and it is best to have the shoot after your big day to achieve exactly what you want. Dobege Photography specialises in ‘Trash the Dress’ along with wedding photography and said that it is becoming more and more popular. Martin from Dobege explained that it is something that should be done after your wedding day for many reasons.

“As wedding photographers we are restricted by both time and the fact that the bride wants to do everything on her wedding day to keep her dress immaculate.” Says Martin from Dobege Photography.

Trash the dress can produce some stunning photos that you can cherish forever. You can be the model you have always wanted to be, and it's another way to be creative with your dress. A wedding dress shouldn't just be for one day, but something to have fun in.
