Trash the Dress question


Recommended Posts

I was under the impression that TTD meant that you wear your wedding dress, not buy another one to wreck. Kind of defeats the purpose, but people are entitled to do what they want. Im not having an AHR and even if I was I'm going swimming in my dress and dont really care if it comes out clean or not. I dont really have any reason or occasion to put it on again - unless I wear it at Halloween.

The goal of a TTD is to have some amazing images in a relaxed atmosphere. Trash the dress is NOT always actually trashing the dress, sometimes it means just get it wet. I saw it on one of Del Sol's videos where they retitled it wash the dress. Most dresses can actually get wet and nothing will happen to them.

Here look at these from Del Sol:

An AHR is a at home reception.

And what ceremony are you referring to? Carla wink.gif

I bought a second dress off eBay for $90 which I wore for my TTD. I wanted to wear my actual dress at our AHR - so I got a second dress.

 

Now, I'm having the top part of my real wedding dress make in to a bustier that I can wear again and the bottom part will be made into a christening gown when we have children.

My plan is to wear a more "formal" dress for the ceremony and the pictures, then possibly change into another dress for the evening (I haven't bought anything yet, but I tend to like bigger dresses for the reception and I'm planning a boat trip in the evening, so I'm pretty sure a big fancy dress would not lend itself to that)

 

I would trash the evening dress the next day at the resort and wear the more formal dress to the AHR.

 

I'm thinking this is a win win situation. I get to pick 2 dresses, trash one, and keep one in perfect condition to wear again!

A lot of people buy a second dress to use. Jcrew has some good options and davids bridal also have the $99 sale every now and then. I've had brides buy dresses off ebay and Craigslist as well. I trashed my original wedding dress, got it dry cleaned and had no problems after swimming in the ocean with it though!

i "trashed" THE dress. It was fun. My dress did not get damaged at all. And I laid on cobblestone streets, wood benches, stone sidewalks, rolled around in the sand, sat on an ice cream parlor floor, etc.

 

i even trashed THE dress after i figured out it would probably end up see through when it got wet (silk, and it did become see through) but for me, I wanted to trash my actual wedding dress. hey another chance to wear it again!

 

i don't regret one single second of the TTD. Some of my favorite pictures are from our TTD

It all depends on how comfortable you are with the idea of getting your dress dirty. I can tell you that even if you take it into the water it will be totally fine after a cleaning. But if you feel hesitant I suggest getting a stunt-dress *lol* for the shoot, because if you feel uncomfortable or worried it will come through in your photos.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
