Trashing the Dress




A new phenomenon has been gaining traction among wedding trends in the last few years known as TTD, or Trashing the Dress. For those who haven't heard, a bride wears the dress to a location where it's bound to get dirty. Sometimes, even filthy. Other times, though rarely, destroyed.

There are any number of ways to express one's devotion, and this, to a growing number of newlyweds is one of them. "It is just taking it in a place that you wouldn't normally go. Not worrying about it too much," said photographer Adam Hudson of Ridgeland, Mississippi. In fact he'd recently completed a trash the dress shoot in a mud pool.

Rebecca Zoumberos, owner of Limelight Photography in Tampa, Florida says "For the brides, it is really liberating,". David Baxter a photographer out of San Diego writes on his blog that it's "about letting a bride express her beauty in the dress she has dreamt of wearing for so long, but will put away all too quickly."
