I was 100% against this when I knew I was having my dream dress, that was costing me far too much money as it is, but now i'm no longer having that dress, and if I end up buying a cheap 2nd hand one/ charity shop one, I'm well up for doing it. Think my photographer would love to try this! he's not done any before but he's a fashion photographer, so would love something like this in his portfolio. Some of the online pictures are amazing!! x
so its kindof the same x thats sounds more realistic i love the thout of going in the loch with my dress on tho lol x

I've had my dress dyed and made ankle lenght so that I can wear it again as an evening gown ... I've got the chance to wear it in June and July this year which brings the cost per wear down yay

I can understand trashing your dress if you bought for around £50 but no way would I trash one that is 100s of ££££ that's insane. I'm going to try to fit into mine for a few years yet and I've told h2b that I will be doing the housework in it to make me feel spesh.
I can't wait until 29/06/2013
The day I marry the man of my dreams!
CommentAuthorAnnekaC
I have seen it done and it looks like a lot of fun, but personally after spending so much on the dress i couldnt do it. The cherish the dress tho seems like an amazing idea, and im going to ask my photographer and see what they say next week now :D
Enjoy your days ladies :)
CommentAuthorMrs Sheppard2B

CommentAuthorclive
even if it's £50 or so, its no different to tearing up a £50 note in my opinion! :o))
CommentAuthormadhen
Hmm, I've seen some of the photoshoots like this and I'm not sure I'm a fan...I do like the idea of wearing it again and getting some lovely pics, but I think I'd be heartbroken if it was wrecked - not to mention the guilt over the money! I feel guilty enough about spending such an amount on something that's only worn once anyway! :/
CommentAuthorMrsShaw
I won my dress but even so, its worth over £1000 so I don't want to trash it. I want to do a cherish the dress shoot though, enough so I can get it dry cleaned to its clean state :)

CommentAuthorCatrinaP
yea im doing it already spoke to my photographer about it he is excited as he never done one before love the thought of getting some good photos without worring about getting the dress dirty before reception x
CommentAuthorButtonAndBoo
I do agree the trash your dress photos are are lovely, but I don't think I could do it. Maybe in a cheap 2nd dress I could, but I'm making mine, so a lot of hard work, sweat and tears will be going into my dress.

I am doing a trash the dress session. I can not wait!!!
excited alternative bride trying to do things our way!
CommentAuthorCatrinaP
buttonanboo you could just get some done running along a beach x
CommentAuthorNatashaB70
ummmm wow that sounds kinda cool, but also very insane, all that money wasted, dont you want to keep your dress or even sell it after?
CommentAuthorNatashaP86
no i wouldnt trash the dress but i am thinking of having shots done with me hoovering etc x
CommentAuthorOWB
My dress is likely to be a 50's style knee length dress and won't be very expensive so I'm not worried about getting it dirty! We're going to the fair a couple of days after the wedding and having some shots done there. If it gets dirty or damaged then it's not the end of the world. If you think you'll get some shots that are worth possibly ruining your dress then go for it - most brides don't wear the dress again.
If only life could be one long tea break
CommentAuthorMrs Sheppard2B
owb that is a good point i wont wear it again and i have 2 so im gonna say im not fussed i was thinking about it all day and iv decided im defo going to do it :D:D x

CommentAuthorFernP61
after the money im spending on mine im def not doing a trash the dress i will do a cherish the dress shoot then maybe sell it x
CommentAuthorLeighS
Cheerish the dress would be my choice. Be a shame to ruin it.
CommentAuthorTikobear
My photographer friend does "trash the dress" and she has told me, that if i don't actually want to "trash" the dress, she could take some shots that look like trashing it when actually your not! It all depends on camera angle, scenery, lighting etc etc. I think I'll be doing that and then selling mine, don't see the point in spending all that money to wear it once, then keep it locked away in a cupboard!

CommentAuthorLegoWife
Doing it the day after the wedding is a bit soon in my opinion! Day after the wedding I'd be wanting to chill with me new husband and enjoy our first day of married life together.
That said I've got a trash the dress booked. Don't mind getting it dirty, not sure if I'll rip it to shreds or not though. I'm just going to run with it and see where it goes.
At end the of the day if your not going to sell your dress or keep it for a daughter's wedding/christening dress then what are you going to do with it? Stick it in the cupboard and wear it at your funeral? Lol. Doing nothing with an expensive dress you'll never wear again makes as much sense as having fun in it, possibly destroying it and never wearing it again. Either way- you're never gonna wear it again!

I couldn't think of anything worse than 'trashing' my dress - after all, I paid enough for it, I couldn't imagine it get ruined in any way. I even managed to wear it twice - once for our wedding and the second time for our evening reception back home, after we got back from honeymoon. Now it's bagged and hanging in the wardrobe.
CommentAuthormrs-anni-oc
was talking to my husband about this last night, we are thinking of doing this when we are on holiday at christmas...
CommentAuthorLegoWife
Is anyone doing one with H2B/Husband? I love the couple ones. I'm hoping H2B will go for it as well :)

CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
Ha-x3.... you dont ruin your dress. (well some do) but you put it on and do things in it that you didnt do on your wedding day... sitting on a pretty swing, sitting among flowers....in some old ruins....gone with the wind type of stuff.
you can still do it, get hubby to take you to a gorgeous place, and a camera and you're all set.
