Just yesterday i was reading about David’s entry about his colleague’s wedding dinner and how he was in awe with the wedding photos when the slide show was shown. This past few months, i have noticed quite a number of bloggers posting some of their wedding photos and the ideas some photographers can come out with are really impressive.

Besides spending a bomb on the dinner (which you will be able to cover back from the ang pows and might also make a profit), the next thing couples spend on are photos. Couples nowadays just don’t take photos in front of their house or shopping complexes but you can see them in gardens, forest ? like what David mentioned …

The last time i was in Klang visiting lingster, we went cycling round the man-made pond and there we spotted a couple in their wedding attires, posing for their photographer. The bride had a long long trail and she was dragging it through the grass and i noticed a lot of old ‘aunties’ pointing and laughing. Either they must be saying how ignorant the bride was by wrecking her dress or they could have just giggled because she was their new family member. What ever it is, those were the typical venues you would normally see in a wedding photo but today April Cherrie showed me that wedding photos has gone to an all new high.

As i mentioned earlier about the bride who had to drag her trail through the grass; she eventually reached the pavement and she took some time removing anything that has got stuck to it. Every bride would have done the same thing. It was their precious wedding dress.

Now who in their right mind, would actually thrash their dress ? Well that’s what i thought at first till April Cherrie shared this site where brides thrash their dress for their photoshoot. I have to admit some of the photos are really gorgeous. April Cherrie herself has one good example. Obviously couples would have taken tonnes of pictures before eventually thrashing it at the end.

So why thrash the dress ? (taken from thrashthedress.wordpress.com):

Go ahead, you know you want to. Trash it. Get it dirty. Get it wet. Roll around in the mud. Drench it in the ocean. Totally trash it.

Why? … Why not? You’ve made a commitment to your husband. He’s your one and only true love, right? Then you’ll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won’t wear it in 20-30 years. So you have two choices:

1) Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet
2) Show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun pictures while you do it!

They really do have a point ! With that extra space in the cupboard, the brides are better off storing all those sexy lingeries than a dress which you are not going to see on you again.

The girls get to thrash the dress and what about the guys ?

A bachelor party ?
