There is a new trend, which I’ve been reading about lately where brides will destroy their dress after the ceremony is over and done with. Some wait until after the reception… some don’t! Some have the reception outfit to change into, so take advantage of the photographer’s presence and get some crazy and awesome photos of their dress-trashing catharsis.
Why trash it? There are some theories: to show dedication to the new husband, the bride wont be needing the dress again; to show destroy the old and start anew; to be absolved from the stresses of the wedding and planning mentally and physically; and (my person fave) to get some great photos!
The New York Post has an article discussing the trend, crediting Las Vegas photographer, John Michael Cooper, with starting the trend for a wedding photography shoot.
Also, there is a blog dedicated to this trend called Trashthedress.com
What do you think about this trend? Would you consider trashing your dress?
