Trash the Dress :: Accomplished

One of the items on my wedding "to do" list was to trash my wedding dress soon after our wedding day. I learned about trash the dress photoshoots about a year ago and immediately had mixed feelings about whether or not I would do something {as crazy} like this. Mainly for the photo opportunity and the interest that Steve expressed in taking part, we went for it.

We had planned on having our wedding photographers take these shots, but due to travel arrangement we weren't able to make it happen with Shelby and Rich. Instead we {thankfully} had Steve's good friend/groomsmen Josh Becker {professional cameraman and photographer} take the photos for us. We drove on down the Honoapiilani Hwy and found a great little spot right off the road. Passersby honked and friends driving by stopped and chatted with us. The experience was awesome and I highly recommend it to any woman that isn't too concerned with the outcome of the dress. I haven't taken my dress to the dry cleaners yet, but have a feeling that the cleaning/preserving could end up costing more than the price of the dress - still deciding if I like the dress better with or without the Maui sand.









Would you trash the dress?

And one more photo that Josh took after the wedding ceremony - absolutely love this one!
