Trash the Dress Pics Make Wasting Money Look Fabulous (PHOTOS)

As a photographer, I think this would be an excellent shoot to go on! I would definitely be all for it if the bride was interested. I don't really get the symbolism (if there is any?) behind burning the dress? The paint one looks like the most fun :)

This is kinda fun but I can't help but to think why not donate to someone who is less fortunate and would appreciate the kind gesture?

Even though this is super creative, I rather donate my dress to someone.

These pictures p*** me off. I was fortunate to have my amazing father spend $750 on my gown, which is GORGEOUS!!!, and there is absolutely NO WAY IN h. e. double hockey sticks I would do anything to damage it. These people that are "trashing" gowns that are more than likely far more expensive than mine are wasteful creatures. But, then again, I suppose I've forgotten the fact that we DO live in a throw away society.
I could almost see it if they wanted to pick up a second hand gown at a thrift store for 50 bucks and snap some creative photos. I'm all for crazy creativity. But most of the dresses above do NOT look like $50 thrift store buys.

I thought the whole trash the dress thing was for wemen getting remarried to trash the dress from their first marriage. You devorced the man now it's time to kill the dress that you married him in. I have also seen these pics on the invites to a I'm finally devorced party.

Well, first of all, economically speaking... it was meant to be a dress to wear once, by making a trash the dress shoot, I'd wear it TWICE (and maybe the second time would be funnier, since no stress would be in my mind that day), so, it makes the "wear" 50% cheaper.

Second, why would I want to keep my dress untouched for the rest 50 years of my life?? (actually, it may be already a little torn at the wedding night, if you know what I mean) Just to see it how yellow-ish it became, and how after my pregnancies I just can't even try it on?? No thank you.

Third... no, I don't want my daughter (if I ever have one, I need to find her a father first) nor my daughter-in-law-to-be (again, if I happen to have a son) to wear my dress on her wedding day, it's gonna be her day, and she should wear HER dress. It would be more useful if, in a rush Halloween, she may dress up as a zombie bride, the dress would be a cheap and easy option for her, or even when she's 4 just to play dress up with her little friends. If she wants to wear something her mommy wore on her wedding, the accessories would be untouched, I swear (not the shoes, those would be destroyed before her parents' wedding party is over).

And finally, if I get married, I will be married to a man, not the dress... so, when we get old,
looking at the dress would mean nothing compared to see all the trouble we went through, all the fun we had together, and what we achieved after all those years, and those photos would mean much more to us than an untouched wedding dress, because we had a hell of a time taking those, with all the wedding stress behind us, starting our journey with the right foot after the honeymoon.

So... economically speaking, after the session, the dress would be worn not once, but twice, used as a toy, and a Halloween costume. Sounds like a deal, doesn't it?

lol yeah i just wed last year. I'm on the fence with this decision. But I do like the idea alot.

I LIKE MY WOMEN A LITTLE ON THE TRASHY SIDE.

I love the "mud" dress lol. My friend and I are going to do this with her wedding dress and my brides maid dress. She wants to get rid of her dress in a grand way, so the beach is looking like the place to do it.
