Why Brides Are Trashing Their Wedding Dress In Key West

By Peter Estenoz


If you are wondering what to do with your wedding dress after the ceremony, you may want to consider a new style of wedding photography. Known as 'trash the dress', 'rock the frock' or 'fearless bridal', scores of former brides are now Trashing My Dress in Key West on Smather's Beach. This new trend in wedding photography is a fun and creative way to give the bridal gown a final farewell, and announce to the world that the dress will never be worn again.


The photography sessions generally take place outside of a studio in a setting that is of stark contrast to the formal environment that wedding dresses are traditionally associated with. The photo shoots often take place on the beach, with the bride splashing about in the sea and frolicking in the sand. The idea of the 'trash the dress' concept is to effectively ruin the gown by getting it as wet and dirty as possible.

The degree of damage caused to the gown is dependent on the personal choice of the individual. Some may wish to simply enjoy an adventurous, care-free and fun photographic session without worrying about getting the gown dirty or wet. Others may wish to take it to the extreme and dramatically rip, tear, paint, or even burn the dress.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to locations for trashing the frock. As the craze has gained momentum across the globe, photographers are pushing the boundaries of creativity with unconventional locations, from the sublime to the ridiculous. Some of the trash locations used so far have been, derelict building sites, abandoned railway stations and rail tracks, muddy lakes, water fountains, horse ranches and one photographer has even used a garbage dump.

The trashing shoot may be arranged to take place immediately after the ceremony. However, some women may wish to trash their frock several years after their wedding date. A lot of former brides may find that they have only worn their expensive gown for one day only, and wish to dust it off and wear it for one last fun-filled day.

In many cases, the bride is accompanied by her groom who can also get a chance to trash his formal wedding suit. The photo session can be a fun day out and gives the couple a chance to recreate a fun and exciting version of their formal wedding portraits. The craze is thought to have been started in Las Vegas around 10 years ago by a wedding photographer.

The first mass trash event involved more than 150 women and took place in the Netherlands. The revolutionary photographic craze has now swept across the globe and has grown in popularity in recent years. Brides are now queuing up to act like a fashion model by Trashing My Dress In Key West On Smathers Beach.
