Trash the Dress

You've spent hundreds to thousands of dollars, plus countless hours searching for THE wedding dress. But what will you do after the wedding is over? There are many options. Some brides will tuck it away for years and years in the hopes they'll have a daughter that will wear it one day; some may consign it to recoup some of the cost of the dress; while others may have a friend/sister that may wish to wear it. Is holding on to a dress or consigning it really going to result in someone wearing the dress? Perhaps...

Perhaps its also your chance to have one last chance to wear it - and not worry about stains or spills! Why not? After your wedding and honeymoon, put your gown back on and meet with your wedding photographer, hire another photographer or have an artistic friend capture some images of you and your dress having fun!

Beach, lake, abandoned building, park - the spot is your choice! Select one that has meaning for the two of you. Check out these images from local wedding photographers:
