Trashing the Dress - answers please

All that I really know about it is that it gives you an extra time (one that you will probably never have again) to take pictures with your husband. I wouldnt have done it if it werent for a beach. But think that it will give the opportunity to have such amazing picture. Your supposed to use your wedding dress and trash it. But I know that many other girls are just getting a whole other dress.

Our TTD session was the most fun thing we ever did. I highly reccomend it because the pictures are so much more relaxed and fun. I had a hard time convincing DH to do it, he hates getting his pictures taken, but he loved it and was so happy we did it. Most of the pictures we framed are from that day. I used the same dress and my dress was all lace and it did no damage to it at all, in fact it made it cleaner because my dress was black on the bottom after my wedding. So do not worry about ruining your dress. Especially if you don't plan on wearing it again.

and my dress is lace too so thats good news...

I asked FI last night if he'd do it if I was able to find a reasonably prices photog...he said YES!

I searched on here and emailed a bunch of Cancun/RM photogrophers and asked for prices for a TTD session and suggestions on where we'd do it...as the Moon Palace has a no outside photog rule.

I'm going to get a second, cheaper dress for it. My dress cost a lot of $$ and I have to wear it again for the AHR. I know everyone said their dress didn't get ruined, but I can't take that chance.

I'm SO excited!!!!!

I am going to try to convince FI tonight...wish me luck

Oooh, good luck! I was surprised I didn't really have to "convince" Chris to do it, he just said ok.

I was kind of disappointed, since I had my whole conversation planned out in my head LOL

we ran into the ocean, bridal party and all. it was the most awesome thing I have ever done. how cool was it to be standing in the ocean, at night, in your wedding gown? i loved every second of it! i did not but a second dress, just used mine and it is okay. DO IT! you will have so much fun!

I got married just over a week ago and did a TTD. I'm not gonna lie.....it was absolutely amazing! Everyone loves the photos....and best of all, they didn't cost a cent. My best friend took my camera (nothing special) and just started shooting. You really don't need a pro to do them.

I was watching all the people walking by taking pictures of me in the ocean, in the swimming pool.....we had comments like "is she drunk?", "that can't be a real wedding dress", etc.....its hilariousl what people come up with. When I was in the pool I even had an onlooker come over and help us with poses and everything. People were amazed!!

I wore my real wedding dress, and it was a big one! I wouldn't have changed anything! I'm so happy we did it!

Anyone who is thinking about doing this.....DO IT!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!
