TRASH THE DRESS
Say goodbye to your wedding dress in style...
You found the “DRESS”, persuaded yourself to blow a fortune on it and now have all your wedding day memories on camera; time has come to box up your beautiful dress and save it for your daughter’s big day, right? Wrong! Let’s face it most of us would never have dreamed of wearing our mothers wedding dresses and the chance that your daughter would want to wear yours is very slim, it won’t age well and it’s of absolutely no use to you now whatsoever. The best you can hope for is a quick eBay sale. Unless, of course, you want to send it off in style!!
This is “TRASH THE DRESS” (TTD) – the fun photographic farewell to your wedding dress. The concept began in America and is now taking the UK by storm. There are two ideas behind TTD: one is to create unusual photos in locations you would not normally visit on your wedding day, the other is to deliberately violate the dress. Either way the outcomes are the same – great photographs of you and your other half looking happy, relaxed and carefree.
The TTD trend was started by New Orleans-based photographer Mark Eric, who insists it's about “creation, not destruction”. Eric has launched www.trashthedress.com to showcase his best TTD moments. Photos on the website include one bride butchering her dress with scissors and several up to their waists in sea-water. Less extreme examples can be seen on www.trash-the-dress.co.uk, where brides have been photographed in unusual settings like woods or farmland.
The central theme is not just arty rebelliousness, though – TTD is about you and your partner. Photos can be wild, inspired and imaginative, reflecting the bride’s personality in a way that contrived wedding photography cannot. As well as all this, TTD is meant to be a romantic gesture, disregarding your dress in favour of some reckless fun with your other half.
