Trash the (wedding) dress

<p>You’re not the only bride we’re speaking of. I’ve seen a shoot where a bride was wearing her Vera Wang and had some street performers in New Orleans go at her with some housepaint.</p>

<p>It’s one thing to get a really interesting underwater picture in a relatively clean lake or ocean so that it can be cleaned and reused… I can see the art in that. It’s another thing entirely to take your dress to the local carnival and sashay around in a pig sty, or to trash it with paint.</p>

<p>Good for you, donating your dress so someone else can use it. There are a lot of good causes out there who put those dresses to extremely good use.</p>

<p>The photos of the Undine brides are artistic, but they creep me out…</p>

<p>Although one dress from the Disney Bridal collection sound pretty appropriate for such underwater shots:</p>

<p>[Kirstie</a> Kelly for Disney Fairy Tale Weddings - Ariel](<a href=“http://www.disneybridal.com/collection/ariel_landing.html]Kirstie”>http://www.disneybridal.com/collection/ariel_landing.html)</p>

<p>(Keeping fingers crossed that my yD who at some point wanted to be a Little Mermaid will not get any wild ideas :D)</p>

<p>Seems pretty tacky to me - to take pictures of yourself deliberately destroying something. If you’re not going to keep it as a keepsake / heirloom, why not just donate or sell it?</p>

<p>Now I want to go to a breast cancer charity wedding gown sale…
