See you there!!
oops, forgot an “s” sorry
http://www.trashthedress.com/forum that is where you want to go!
I have just found your site and I am totally impressed and inspired. I am currantly enrolled in a “Photography” major program in college and I intend to pass this information on to my fellow students and instructors.
Did anyone stop and think to donate their dress to ladies that are less fortunate and are unable to afford dresses like this? I think trashing your dress is not only ungrateful, it also shows lack of respect.
Kate- obviously you haven’t explored our site very much. Please take a deeper look before making uneducated statements.
1. Dresses aren’t always trashed- it’s just a fun term for a relaxed portrait session. The degree of “trashing” or “getting wet” is totally up to the bride. All dresses are usually salvagable.
2. By condeming those who take part in these sessions, are you also condeming the multitude of brides who simply place their gown in storage without TTD session. Afterall, shouldn’t they be donating their gowns as well? If a bride chooses to take a dip in a lake before placing her gown in storage, what’s the difference?
3. We do encourage brides to donate their dresses to such charities as Brides Against Breast Cancer (www.makingmemories.org).
How do I submit my TTD pictures?
is there anyway i can take a look at the pictures that have been taken?
Are there any Hamptons-based photographers that do this?
Featured in our upcoming dance/theater work in NYC will be a segment where a wedding dress gets “trashed”. Looking for donations of used, old, new or previously trashed wedding dresses for the production. We are non-profit artists and have a very small budget.
I would love to have a TTD session for my wedding!
How do I find a photographer in Brisbane, Austrailia?
How do we get our business posted to the left green column.
Thank You
I have registered to be a part of the Trash the Dress forum but unfortunately, it keeps telling me i have not rights to anything and i haven’t received an email telling me what to do yet … i am confused! We just did a dress trashing session and i am excited to share the pix but i have no clue how! HELP!
Hey Girls, here’s a thought!
Why not start the trend of selflessly donating your expensive dresses to brides who can’t afford to buy or trash them?
Now that would be paying it forward or is that a totally untrendy way of thinking?
Good Karma to y’all
I was just admiring all of the amazing pictures on this iste and i came across a confusing situation. On one of the pages there are photos by J.Philbrick-New Hampshire Trashing and then above it is Trashing in the Junkyard by Cordele Photgraphy, and my question is they are the same girl, the amazing looking redhead. how is that?
They may have been taken at a workshop where she was a model.
I was just wondering how to put my pictures on
here. I’ve looked and can’t try to find out.
THank you
Nicki..
I think this is the greatest website. I am from
Canada and it is not yet know out here or
popular but I am trying to get people to get
into it for a photo shoot.
I absolutly love the idea of trash dress!! I’m in a serious relatioship and we’ve talked about marriage. I’ve always been excited to have my dream wedding and the dress, but now that i’ve found trash the dress I think that most excited about the photo shoot after the wedding!

Hi, i was wondering whether is there any books about trashing the dress.
How old is the concept of TTD? It is very cool, contemporary and visually attractive. I watched a lady that is a photographer listed here saying that she created the idea but the name came up later of TTD, that was on a spanish tv show. Curiosity!
Like the photos posted, beatiful work, but how different is to say that these photos are different? I think it’s a “cathegory” by itself now TTD!!!
Hi all!
G’night
Hello!
You know, this idea might be ‘out there’ now but my husband and I did our own little ‘TDD’ session after we got married 12 years ago. On reflection, I’m glad it wasn’t filmed or photographed. It’s a memory that’s OURS!
I was 26 when we got married. By that time I was a confirmed drinker, smoker and, as a 5′ 10″ ’striking blonde’ had had little problem in wracking up scores of lovers!! However, all (well, some) of that changed when I met my husband.
Our wedding was amazing and we had a great time but, on our honeymoon, my husband told me the one regret he’d had was not being able to make love to me in my wedding gown. I promised him we could do that when we got back to normal life. Well, that was a wish fulfilled!!
My husband told me had had been amazed at how demure and innocent I had looked on our wedding day. COMPLETLY different from the wild girl he was marrying. So, we decided to have an evening at home with lots of booze, smoking (me) and sex in my gorgeous £5000 gown. (Yeah, really!!) It was in pure white silk with a 12 foot train and had taken 6 weeks to make. The beading was incredible. I’m not going to go into the right’s and wrongs of ruining an exclusive gown – I’m not fu**ing social services. It’s mine, I can afford it, I paid for it and if I want to trash it, I WILL!!
On the Saturday morning, I had my hair and make up done as close to the way it had been on my wedding day. Then, late afternoon, I got changed into it. My new husband went crazy! We had loads of sex with me getting more and more drunk and
getting through Marlboros like they were going out of fashion.
The dress had held up really well with only a couple of minor stains and a seem starting to come undone. We had the same idea at EXACTLY the same moment. “Let’s trash it”.
We started with me stubbing my cig out on the sleeve. A bottle of red wine found more being spilt on the front than going into us! But what to do with the amazing train? 12 feet of pure silk is a tough proposition. My husband had a great idea! He ordered 16 dish’s from the local Chinese takeaway and we cleadred the kitchen table. When the food arrived, we decanted it into paper plates and ate a tiny amount of each dish. The train was laid over the food and my husband had me on top of the whole lot! It was one of the best sexual experiences we have ever had. The dress was ALMOST ruined by this time but not so much as to not benefit from a mud bath.
I was late by this time so we went to the bottom of the garden and rolled around in the hastily built mud bath we created.
That was pretty exciting. By this time the dress was totally destroyed. It has sauces, cigarette burns, red wine and mud on it. So, we put it in the washing machine on a boil wash!! That caused the stictching to dissolve and the whole thing become a gloppy mess. After tumble drying we made love on top of the remains and burnt it on a bonfire.
It was so erotic that, every year on our wedding anniversary, I buy a gorgeous silk gown and we have a Chinese carry out at home. That wedding dress was worth every penny we paid for it.
