Trash The Dress

There is a new obsession for brides and photographers alike called "Trash the Dress"

It's a day after the wedding photo shoot where the Bride gets 'down and dirty' in her wedding gown - in some cases completely ruining the gown!

Here is a picture below I took off of a website called Trash the Dress dedicated to this very concept 

And another... this one is most definitely TRASHED

Now I'm all for photography that is artistic and expressive, something unique and a tad risque is always fun too but... trashing your wedding dress? I just don't know that this is something I could or would ever do...

I get the idea behind it, you wear it for one day and then it's shoved in a garment bag in your closet for years and in this day and age Daughters typically don't wear their Mothers (or Grandmother's) wedding gown anymore but... I just don't think I could burn the dress that I fell in love with for my wedding day... I just don't!

I am however pretty turned on to the idea of having a photo shoot done with me in my dress the day after - or sometime after the wedding. Something with a magazine - editorial feel that doesn't scream "Bride to be" but rather a dramatic, sensual, look at my beautiful dress type shoot.

Something like this would be my inspiration

I want to know what you think - would/should you trash your dress??
