"Trash the Dress"

There is a great trend picking up speed in today's wedding planning culture called "Trash the Dress". Brides wear their dress outside, through the mud, in a pond, while sky-diving, horseback riding, etc., creating a unique photo-op - essentially giving a second use or excuse to wear the wedding dress after the wedding. "Trash the Dress" photoshoots offer an alternative to imortalizing the expensive piece through pictures, rather than a vacuum-sealled bag in the back of a closet.
