Trashing My Wedding Dress In Key West

By Peter Estenoz


A new craze of revolutionary wedding photography known as 'trash the dress' is sweeping across the globe. Brides wondering what to do with their dresses after their big day are given the opportunity to say a final farewell to their gown by modeling it in a wild and fun photo shoot. This new fun and creative craze in photography is also known as 'rock the frock', and 'fearless bridal'.

The trash shoots result in a very arty collection of original photographs as the formal elegance of the gown is contrasted with a wild and natural, unconventional setting. The idea of the trash sessions is to effectively trash the gown. The most common locations for this is on the beach where the bride trashes her dress by getting it wet in the water or soiled with mud and sand.

In some extreme cases, the gown is actually torn, ripped, painted, even burned and damaged beyond repair. The degree of damage made to the gown is entirely up to the bride. Most brides simply wish to get their frock a little dirty in a carefree environment and setting that is outside the conventional.

Choosing a suitable location for the trashing shoot is very important as the idea is to set the elegance of the wedding gown against a contrasting background. As the photographic craze grows in popularity more photographers are creating fresh concepts and locations. Some of the shoot locations used include derelict buildings, abandoned railway tracks, horse-riding stables, waterfalls and some have even used garbage dumps.

The photo shoots can be arranged at any time. Many brides opt to have the frock trashing session immediately following the ceremony, as an addition to their traditional wedding shots. Some women may realize that their expensive frock has been stowed away for years after only being worn once and want to dust it off for one last photo shoot.

In many cases, the bride is accompanied by her groom who can also get a chance to trash his formal wedding suit. The photo session can be a fun day out and gives the couple a chance to recreate a fun and exciting version of their formal wedding portraits. The craze is thought to have been started in Las Vegas around 10 years ago by a wedding photographer.

More than 150 women took part in the world's first ever mass trash event in the Netherlands. The craze has revolutionized traditional wedding photography and its recent popularity has spread across the world. Scores of brides are now signing up to get a chance at Trashing My Dress In Key West On Smathers Beach.
