Have you heard about the Trash the Wedding Dress photo session; sometimes called The Fearless Bride or Rock the Frock?
The basic idea is to, well, trash the wedding dress in some dramatic, no-holds-barred manner. The bride trashing the dress and the final results to the dress are usually photographed in the style of a high-fashion magazine. The backgrounds for the shoot can be anything from the ocean or a farm to a slum or a dirt road. The messier, the better!
In our neck of the woods, where getting a wedding dress from a gemach is nearly de rigueur, the idea of “trashing the wedding dress”, is nothing short of a sin against nature. But even here in Israel, there are some brides who chose this route. Want to know how to say Trash the Dress in Hebrew? Simple transliteration: טראש דה דרס

Why would a bride want
to trash her dress? I guess it’s an
interesting gimmick. And this mini-event makes for some once-in-life-time, never-to-be-repeated photos. Some gals have said
that they are marrying the man of their dreams, so they will never need another
wedding dress again.
Personally, I would love every bride who can afford to BUY her dress, to then donate her dress to a gemach so that brides who cannot afford to buy a dress, can rent one for a very low fee.
