I found a GREAT post on www.trashthedress.wordpress.com (the old blog- they have since moved to a new website) about how a bride can trash her dress and STILL do good.
A rather common argument against trashing your wedding dress is this: “why wouldn’t you donate your dress to benefit someone less fortunate than you, instead of destroying it for a selfish purpose?” Well, the answer is in this article. According to the writer who spoke with the national director and co-founder of “Brides Against Breast Cancer,” many of the dresses donated to the organization come in dirty. Food, wine, and other kinds of stains are removed by the organization and 90% of the dresses show no signs of having been used!
From now on, my recommendation to the brides who trash their gowns with me will be to donate their gowns to this organization after the shoot.
So there- you can have your TTD session and still do something good with the dress afterwards.
