Trash the Dress!

[obtr32]

I have seen alot of this online... Trash the Dress is when you take a drees (mostly wedding) and the model poses in water, mud or whatever... It looks like the hip thing to do.....what do you think? Pauly

The coolest thing since sliced bread.

No, John.....perhaps the wettest thing since sliced bread or the muddiest, etc.

Oh man ! Those wedding photographers are getting to be so hip and edgy ! Now they're messin' with the wedding dress ?

Is a tilted horizon and shallow depth of field not enough ? Make it stop before someone gets hurt !

I assume they do this AFTER the rest of the 'normal' pics have been taken?

You'll get more opinions and accounts of this in the Wedding forum. A mod could move the topic for you, if you desire. here is one these sessions: First Trash the Dress Shoot

Well, true...but wedding dress is only an example....

I've seen some cool seinor high school photos with a prom dress and on with just a regu;ar white sun dress....

But, I think it's kind of cool...some of those dresses only get worn once...might as well get your moneys worth..

Oh, fromwhat I understand, the trash yopu dress photo session takes place the day after the wedding....too bad that the Tux is tridionally rented....I think that trash the tux wpuld be something...

Just for the record: Are most brides wearing dresses that can not be dry cleaned? The 'trash' concept has some appeal but so does the donate to charity idea so poor girls can look good too. I guess most wedding dresses get buried in a box for the duration but I did attend a recent 50th wedding anniversary party where the dress was displayed on a manikin. Rumor had it the bride (now over 70) could still fit in in but considered that tacky so it was not worn that day.

Anyone remember Senior cords? Girls of the day often made them into laundry bags as a rite of passage out of high school that actually came in useful in college.
