Would you trash your dress?
Filed under: Alternative Weddings, Keeping the Memory, Wedding Lore/Traditions
When I first heard about brides trashing their dresses, I thought it was a joke. Or maybe just one of those silly traditions like cake-smashing. Who the blooming heck would ever willingly destroy a dress that they've spent a small fortune on? Only a madman, I thought.
Then, reading more about it, I realised this isn't really a matter of crazy, wanton destruction, but more about a series of avante-garde bridal photographs. The bride (sometimes with her husband) is photographed in locations you'd not normally see in a wedding shot. Yes, her dress may need some serious cleaning afterwards but it seldom involves totally trashing that dress!
The results are, I think, spectacular and would make a smashing series of images that I'd happily display at home.
I'd seriously think about doing it. Would you?
