I wouldn't have minded getting them dirty though.<br /><br />I love those TTD shots in the water though.

So when I see others' TTD shoots, I cringe and don't care for them. Of course others can do what they like, but when someone asks me "well why not," I don't have a problem making my reasons known. :)Amberdawnhttp://ambers-wedding.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-38526566882795277432010-07-07T15:34:45.871-04:002010-07-07T15:34:45.871-04:00I love looking at TTD photos, and did one in a che...I love looking at TTD photos, and did one in a cheap dress I got off of ebay!

I don't even think I'd do a day after shoot unless for some reason, I didn't like my photographs from the actual wedding. I think we'll get enough pics of me in my dress on wedding day, and for me, I don't see it being worth spending the extra money.<br /><br />But like I said, the shoots are fun to look at online and if some one wants to go that route, it's their perogative!GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416137629786778346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-24546800606448506452010-07-07T13:25:25.642-04:002010-07-07T13:25:25.642-04:00My dress is also packed away at my mom's house...My dress is also packed away at my mom's house and since I don't think we'll be able to afford a day after shoot like we wanted to do, I am not sure what to do with it now.<br /><br />I originally planned on selling it but I am afraid that when I take it out of the box (even after having it dry cleaned), it is not going to be in good enough condition for another wedding day :( <br /><br />And as much as I am dying to get more photos of us in it and at all the locations we missed at our venue on our wedding day, I just don't think there's any point in keeping it. So I'll have to figure it out.<br /><br />But regardless, I love the idea of selling or trashing it and if other brides don't like that, then that's their right...but each girl has her own choice to make and none is a wrong one since it is a personal decision.Born to be Mrs. Beeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186370322714278012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-62719916786091557752010-07-07T11:27:40.932-04:002010-07-07T11:27:40.932-04:00Our post ceremony pictures were almost as good as ...Our post ceremony pictures were almost as good as a TTD sesh considering that I dragged it around on the beach for a good 45 minutes! By the time I got bustled for the reception, my train was a filthy mess. <br /><br />I won't do anything else with it and I still haven't had it cleaned.

Just because you don't want to do that with your dress, doesn't mean another bride doesn't.<br /><br />I plan on doing a trash the dress session (as soon as I lose some weight to fit back into my dress), but nothing too crazy. I'll probably roll around in some grass and dirt and hop in a fountain or two.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765466756861138272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-80659083191150386312010-07-07T09:35:09.111-04:002010-07-07T09:35:09.111-04:00I adore my dress and even though I know I won'...I adore my dress and even though I know I won't wear it again or probably pass it on to anyone I can't imagine trashing it.

I'm not sure why. I'm certainly not saving my gown for my future daughter or anything like that. I agree that it's totally up to the bride, and I would never judge a bride for participating in such a shoot. I think a "day after" or bridal shoot is a great idea. I am going to talk to my photog about possibly doing one after the wedding.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724896577355920828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-33042468158413020802010-07-07T09:23:41.565-04:002010-07-07T09:23:41.565-04:00Totally agree with Hannah!

I couldn't imagine ruining it. I do, however, LOVE TTD photos and I think that any bride who wants to should do it!
