Trash Your Wedding Dress?

I saw this article in the Styles section this weekend about brides who are taking their wedding dresses and "trashing" them for photo shoots.

Sounds awful? Well, it's actually meant to be artistic.

Brides are putting their dresses back on and posing for photographers in situations where the dress gets ruined. Photo settings have included plunging the bride in water, having her roll around in mud to even lighting the dress on fire!



I got married three years ago. And people have asked me what I have done with my wedding dress. I still have mine hanging in my dressing room. I haven't even paid to have it cleaned after wearing it on my wedding day. It went off my body, straight back into the garment bag.

And even though I will likely never wear the dress again, I can't imagine "trashing" it. It would break my heart to damage a very expensive dress beyond wearable condition.

I hope this trend fades fast.
