Trash the wedding dress – wedding photo contest

By admin on Nov 11, 2009 in Wedding Funny Business

It’s become a bit of a new tradition in weddings, perhaps not a very popular one, but certainly one of the most fun.

The idea is simple, you spend your hard earned money on a beautiful wedding dress, take part in your dream ceremony, marry the man of your dreams surrounded by your nearest and dearest. The perfect day.

Then, you trash your wedding dress…… yes, ruin it forever. You up for it ?

We think perhaps this tradition won’t be quite as popular as wearing a garter, or throwing the bouquet over your shoulder, this new wedding tradition certainly isn’t for everyone. However, it does seem to have one very significant benefit going for it, hilarious, entertaining wedding photos. That is if you can get your wedding photographer to agree to it, you wouldn’t want to ruin your wedding dress and then miss out on the fun memories.

These kind of photos require skill and good timing, here is a collection of various “Trash the Dress contest” run by the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) who hold an annual competition.

Not for the faint bride
