The wedding is over. What do you do with this beautiful gown, that you fell in love with and paid a small fortune for?

1. Pay to have it preserved and put in the attic forever.
2. Trash it and take some great photos/video.
3. Give the dress away to charity or a relative.

Many brides these days Trash the Dress. Certainly you have heard of this by now.  Brides posing under water;  brides wallowing in mud;  or flouncing around in the snow in their bridal gowns. Why? . . well everyone has their own reasons and mostly it is for that great photo opportunity that no one else has.

Trash the Dress - also known as "fearless bridal" or "rock the frock", is a style of wedding photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place. It is generally shot in the style of fashion or glamour photography. Such photography often takes place on a beach, but other locations include city streets, rooftops, garbage dumps, fields, and abandoned buildings. The woman 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.
