Trashing the Wedding Dress

If you love your wedding dress and plan to keep it safely ensconsed in blue tissue paper to preserve every inch of white perfection for your daughter to wear when her time comes, or you simply wish to preserve it out of loving memories of that special day… then heed this warning: READ NO FURTHER!

An increasingly common event upon returning from a honeymoon is the ‘trash the dress’ phenomenon.

Basically the bride (and often the groom) dress in their wedding finery again, and ‘trash it all’. The ritual is captured on camera, with some gorgeous photos as a result… well, in some cases anyway!

Here are some of the ways people have ‘trashed’ their wedding coutoure:

• wearing their gowns and tux’s into the surf
• painting each other
• paintballing 
• rolling down a hillside
• cutting it into shreds
• setting the dress on fire (hopefully while they’re not wearing it!)… and my favourite…
• having a mud fight… can you imagine that!!!
