Trash the Dress??

I am sure all of you have heard about trash the dress after your wedding day. If you have not heard of this it is a fun photography session in your wedding dress, after the wedding when you are not afraid to get the dress dirty. Some places brides do the trash the dress session could be the beach, in the snow, or riding a horse.

Examples:

I thought it would be cute to use some from a vineyard because I live in wine country.
(These photos are not of me and they are from here)

It has been 7 months after my wedding, and no I did not do a trash the dress session. I, however, did not want to preserve my dress because I wanted to be able to see it everyday. That is when I decided to 'Throw my Dress'. What in the world does that mean? A very dear friend of my family was willing to sew my dress into a throw pillow, hence, 'Throw the Dress' (feel free to use this yourself).

I am so very excited about this and I finally have it in my hot little hand house. Are you ready for it?

    1. Thank you so much for the comment and for stopping by. For the dress/pillow, I would have never worn my mother's dress and do not expect my daughter, if I have one, to wear my dress. I love being able to see my 'dress' everyday. Means so much to me! I say go ahead and make that pillow.
