Silly question about Trash the Dress

[redginger]

Are you ladies planning to use your bridal bouquet for the TTD session too? I'm wondering if the fresh bouquet will be wilted the day after the wedding? If so, should I be getting silk or real touch flowers instead? Thanks!

after the wedding if you put your flowers into water.....they should be good for the TTD, and other think....put some ice in there too it works like a charm lol Im using my real flowers for our TTD the next day after the wedding

This thread just made me more excited about doing a TTD!!! I kept seeing pictures also and knew I wanted to do it. My dress is about $450, but for the pictures it's worth it!

You ARE brave I've read that you can wash them in a washer, I've also read that a lot of stores do that! Turns out a lot of dresses are 100% polyester so it's no problem.. I would think though that if there is extensive beading or anything it could be tricky?? What material was your dress?
I need to have mine cleaned before the wedding, bought one off the rack, I wish I could just do it myself! lol

Give it a good rinse in water as soon as you get out of the ocean though.  Dont want to leave all that salt sitting in your clothes.
