Take a Spin on the Rides... If you love the merry-go-round, ferris wheel, roller coasters, and bumper cars like I do take a trip to Six Flags or your local carnival to take whimsical photos in your wedding gown. Play some games and have your groom win the biggest prize for his new wife. Chow down on your favorite carnival foods like corn dogs, funnel cake, and cotton candy to make a tasty photo! Create sweet memories with each other having fun and feeling like a kid all over again!

4. Get Messy with Paint...

Get Messy with Paint... Maybe the dry cleaners can help this bride get the paint out of her gown! But if your not looking to save your dress and just want to have a messy, crazy photo shoot with your groom get wild with paint and a funky setting like the graffiti** **background in this photo. Old or used gowns that can be found on ebay or weddingbee classifieds are great finds for trash the dress photo shoots, especially when you want to preserve your own.

3. Walk in a Winter Wonderland...

Walk in a Winter Wonderland... Winter is a beautiful time with snow on the trees and at your feet. This trash the dress photo would be wonderful for a save the date or an engagement photo as well. The bride's gown is glowing in the snow as she cuddles up with her groom to stay warm. When you're finished with the romantic shots start throwing snowballs at each other and build a Mr. and Mrs. snow couple!

2. Hop on a Hot Rod...

Cars and women together have always been sexy. So put your wedding gown on, show some leg, and hop on that hot rod! If you don't have a mustanglike the one in this photo see if there are any classic car shows coming to your area or rent one from your local Hertz. A trolley, bus or truck make for great automobile photos too. Hop in the back of your pick-up or horse, put on your cowboy hat and boots and you'll be one sexy cowgirl in her wedding dress.

1. Rock the Waves...

Rock the Waves... The beach** **has become one of the most popular locations for trash the dress photo shoots. How can it not be with romantic photos like this one. Getting wet, playing in the sand, and kissing on the beach brings scenes from movies and romance novels to life. The ocean and the beach is a favorite spot for my fiance and I; he proposed to me on the beach last year! A trash the dress session at the same location would be perfect for us. Let the sand cool your toes, be silly in love in the water, and kiss each other at sunset as your perfect day becomes a perfect night.

Hwllo again Diana, We immensly liked the ideas. I showed them to my BF yesterday and he was as crazy as me about them :) Ok I'll se what I find. Thanks alot :) We're remodelling the house. We're doing electrical things at the moment and choosing the paints and floor. Busy and crazy time but I still love it. Our Dream is beginning to take life! :)

Hi! I googled " trash dress with paint " and found your blog. On one hand ...... I see a mural in SF that I'm dying to shoot a trash the dress session by ( using paint to trash the dress ) . On the other ..... I wonder if donating the dress is a better idea. Some of these images are so beautiful, so "trashing" is pretty tempting. I probably will end up doing a session by the mural I have my eye on. Amanda

Hi Sheila. Yes I bought more dresses. But these are inexpensive dresses that I bid on an auction site. All of these dresses were $100 & under including shipping. The Maggies are beautiful. Both are Memories Collection. The DAvid's are fairly new styles and still available for sale at their website. Some are store samples and some were preowned. One Maggie was never worn due to cancelled wedding. That was sad. But it has a new home now with lots of love. I'm much better now. Taking care of myself and watching my weight closely. Those dresses inspire me to take care of myself and not to let myself go. Overall, it's a good thing. All dresses are still wearable and have not been damaged.

Hi everyone!!! Just to give you an update from my first post, well, it finally happened!!!! Yes, we did trash the dress so beautifully and passionately that we bought a few more. The dress was definitely NOT harmed. I made sure that my husband would not go crazy on my dress and destroy it in the process. There were a few moments where I felt him pulling on the dress so I had to stop what we're doing and reminded him of MY policy. He had no choice but to comply or else... There were a few instances that were kinda funny while we were doing it. Who would think that an innocent white wedding dress can cause harm. The wedding dress has tulle in it to keep the skirt puffy. These things are stiff and likes to retain its shape. So while my husband was down there and making his way up I heard a loud "ouch." I thought he was just trying to be funny so I didn't pay attention to it. Then he said "my eye." So I quickly sat up to find out what the heck was going on down there. Well, it turned out that the tulle had poked my husband's eye while he was down there. He said he was raising my skirt and suddenly the tulle or crinoline flipped up and hit him on one eye. These things are sharp. That killed the mood really quick. I told him go and wash his eye and lay down for awhile until the irritation disappeared. After an hour, we're back at it and this time he was very careful. In another instance, it was my turn to get sort of harmed. I was on top and being in-charge and enjoying every second of it until I got so hot and literally overheated and felt dizzy. I guess, I had the corset top laced too tight and this did not allow me to breath freely. I told him "I'm getting too hot." He misunderstood it and he said it's ok and go for it. But when I asked him to take my dress off cause I'm getting dizzy, he quickly laid me on the bed and loosened the lace on my back. After 30 minutes of rest, we're at it again and this time I finished up my work. What a night!!!! I've never experienced anything like it. It was truly unique and worth remembering. A little funny, a lot of romance and exploration and very fulfilling in the end. Since that day, we have acquired a few more wedding dresses. We have a couple of Maggie Sottero's, a PC Mary, and 2 David's Bridals. But we've only done it on one dress which is the David's Bridal, my very first wedding dress. No beading or crystals on this dress. One Maggie has a metal brooch on the side, the other one has some crystals hanging on the side; one David's Bridal has beading on the bodice with pick up skirt style; the other one has a pick up skirt but no beading on the bodice just a brooch. The PC Mary has a more traditional style. Heavy beading on the bodice and along train. So there it is. This was my "trashing the Dress."

Odessa, Congrats on your wedding! Yeah I def want to take some neat photos in my gown too, but I'm going to try and sell it afterwards. Good luck on your big day. Come back to share details! :) Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Valerie!! That sounds like an amazing Trash the Dress experience!! And thats really awesome that you were able to get all those dresses at a low price, esp Maggie dresses! I'm so glad to hear that you both had fun and that you got to experience such a fun, exciting, passion filled event! Do you have a blog or any pictures from the trash the dress? So glad to hear from you and that you're doing great. THank you for coming back to All Women Stalk and sharing your story with us! :)

Aww Im so happy that your home is coming together for you. That's exciting. What are your favorite colors for the walls in your house?

That sounds like one hot night Valerie! Thanks for the new trash the dress idea and I hope it follows through for you. I think your husband would love it. Hi Sheila, how are you doing?

Valerie, I think that sounds great ! It's not a trash the dress thing as such but it can be and it sounds very romantic. I've been thinking about doing the same, and maybe with a trash the dress part added to it. When it's time for our wedding night I'll just stretch out on the bed in my full wedding outfit, and let go, and then we can go from there. But I'm not sure that I agree that the dress can get messed up but definitely not destroyed as you say... it depends on how far it goes. I'll give him free go, no restrictions... if he needs to rip something to get proper access, just do it. I think my dress and probably everything else that I'm wearing may very well get destroyed - but we'll have a hot night :) Sure hope youll have fun too !
