Trash The Dress!!!

This is the most incredible concept I have ever heard of! I have already decided that after I get married, I am going to have a TTD photoshoot as well, to add to our wedding album.

Here’s the Wikipedia link, and they describe TTD as “…photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is completely out of place. It is generally shot in the style of glossy beauty and glamour photography.
…brides decide to have pictures taken on the beach, …rooftops, garbage dumps, fields, and abandoned buildings…
A model often wears a ball gown, prom dress or wedding dress, and may effectively ruin the dress in the process by getting it wet, dirty or in extreme circumstances tearing or destroying the garment.
It may also be done as an additional shoot after the wedding, almost as a declaration that the wedding is done and the dress will not be used again. It is seen as an alternative to storing the dress away, never to be seen again.

Here’s the original Trash The Dress site, Trash The Dress Australia and Jeanette Verster and Jean-Pierre Uys from South Africa.
The idea of Trash The Dress was featured on the magazine show Top Billing.

I love the entire concept!

Tell Me About It

…about your wedding planning experience.
I would like to hear from you, the good and the bad about your wedding.
Tell me about your suppliers- the people who did your dress, baked your cake, organised your flowers, the reception venue- everything. I want to hear the good and the bad, and I would like the contact details and websites too please.

If you have pictures to share, that’ll be awesome too!
