Trash the Dress & Cherish the Dress

Trash the dress (or in the UK 'cherish the dress') as a concept originated in the USA a few years ago, and has proved to be extremely popular.

 

Despite the title "Trash the Dress", the concept is not necessarily to damage the dress in any way and is more often a simple case of photographing the bride and dress in a more contrasting or compromising environment, such as the image below and above, than that usually enjoyed at a traditional wedding. Such settings can be sitting or lying on the ground, walking in the sea or river, in wooded areas, up trees or at building sites! At the extreme end, maybe setting the dress on fire or soaking it with paint to create a stunning and memorable image for the album or more often wall-art in the living room at home - obviously these more drastic treatments are carried out with the bride safely out of the dress! The point is, complete creative freedom and a moment, memory and image to remember and wow your friends and family with!

 

How many times are you going to where your dress after the wedding? It is quite an investment and takes a large slice of the wedding budget, so why not make it the star for the day in a one-off photo shoot? The images can be presented in the main wedding album, in it's own small album, as wall art for the home hung in a frame or as a canvas wrap - may be a unique thank you card to send to friends and family.

 

VisualChaos Studios of Crawley West Sussex has a reputation for creative and innovative wedding imagery and would love to hear from any bride who would like to add this style to the wedding day or at a time after the wedding. We are looking to build up a portfolio of images over 2009 and so there is no charge being applied currently for the shoot - just let us know you would like to talk it over and we'll discuss with you further how we might incorporate the images.

 

 

I found a good explanation of the concept in a YouTube video
