Why should I take a Trash the dress?

[LilyPotter]

We are having a TTD... Right after the ceremony, actually.... We're eloping, so we don't have all the bridal party and family photos to think about... I've bought two dresses: one for the ceremony and TTD, and one for the intimate beach dinner and party with the locals at night.

 

Getting married in Fiji. The ceremony is going to be in the tropical forest of the beautiful Taveuni island, and the TTD is going to take place at a waterfall and the beach. I love my dress, but I really want the amazing photos..... We have an outside shower at our bungalow, and the staff is going do wash out the salt water, and later, when it dries, they are going to dry clean it for me! We are staying at this resort for 10 days before we move on to another island, so it has plenty of time to dry!

If I were not having a reception back at home I would so trash the dress at the beach ... love all the pics

I'd never even thought of using a dummy dress! Brilliant- you could get some really imaginative pics that way!

Thank you for this info! I'm debating on getting a different, cheaper gown to wear for our trash the dress session.
