I know you are looking at me and saying, “Terrica, you are completely NUTS”.  Really, I’m not…and I’m not talking about what you think I am either!

 ”Trashing” your dress just means that you have a bridal photo session post-wedding.  It consists of you coming back home from your wedding/honeymoon, completely EXHILARATED that all that planning is over and TOTALLY in love….then, getting dolled up and gorgeous in your dress and letting a photogrpaher make you uber-fabulous….

 It’s not your grandmother’s bridal portrait session that happens days before the wedding (risking tearing, sullying or some other horrid act to your gown).  Instead, this happens after– letting you fully explore great poses and shots in your gown since you probably won’t be wearing it again. However, if you’re like me and my vow renewal gown that I have my eye on, you’ll be wearing it to all of your kids’ recitals, husband’s awards ceremonies, etc.

Drooooolll!  By Tim Co

 One of our preferred vendors, Scarlett of Captivating Studios, takes GORGEOUS gown trash shots.  LOL that sounds like an oxymoron, but truly it’s wonderful– straight from the pages of Vogue or Bazaar.  Others are wonderful too– just check out www.trashthedress.com:

 While it does make me miss my days in front of the camera, you don’t have to worry about seeing this super-sized pregnant wedding planner trashing anything any time soon, except the jeans I can no longer fit in.
