I have seen a lot of comments on online forums about Trash the Dress but this is the best one over at unclutterer.com:
For three years after I got married, my wedding dress sat in a lump on the floor of my closet. It had chocolate icing smeared down the front of it, a bourbon and coke stain on the train, and half of its lining ripped out as a result of my husband’s superb dancing skills. Eventually, the dress made its way to the dry cleaner’s where they did a little magic on it. The stain on the back of it remains clearly visible, but the icing was removed and the tear was repaired. -----> click here to read the rest

Joshua Smith owner of the company Cinematic Bride is a young up and coming wedding videographer and at the age of 20 already has won a Creative Excellence Award. Accordig to his blog he will be featured in an interview on Good Morning America on Saturday in conjunction with the Trash The Dress website! So set those DVRs and watch for what I'm sure will be some excellent video footage of what looks like a really fun idea, Trash The Dress.
Check out a video clip by one of our favorite studios, Studio Vieux Carre'. Terry and team were on the New Orleans Trash The Dress photo shoot and captured all the fun!
Below is a favorite image of mine from the Trash the Dress blog!

1 Everyone loves a list, even if they don't agree with it they love a list.
2 Brides have a hard time choosing music for their related events.
Check it out ladies, under our planning pages we have a brand new list for you, of songs that can be used in photo montage productions and love stories! The list is broken down into 3 categories to make it easy for you. Category one is music for the ladies. Category to is one of the hardest to fill in, music for the guys and of course category three is music for both of you. We have attempted to assemble as many songs as possible in many styles and tempos. Also included is links to Amazon.com to listen or purchase the music listed!
We have more of these lists coming! Presently we are working on the Top 300 Dance Songs, Top 200 Wedding Songs, Songs for the Bride and Her Father, and Songs for the Groom and His Mother. Check back often!
I love poking around on YouTube, I can waste hours on the site looking at all the memories caught on video. Today I was poking around in the weddings section when this little clip appeared.
The Wedding of George Fulford and Helen Goettsch on Sept. 7, 1935 in Minneapolis.
This family is so lucky! I'd love to have a video clip of either set of my grandparent's wedding! To see my grandfather in his prime strutting around. My grandmother, beautiful and full of life.
Wouldn't you love to see moving pictures of your granparent's at their wedding with friends and family? It's sad really, today when moving pictures and audio are available to every bride and groom through video only a small percentage are having one made. From my sister's wedding her video is her most treasured possession followed by the photos and the hanky dad wiped away her tears with before walking down the aisle. (The tuxedo shop charged dad $20 for that hanky! So dads if you think you may need on make sure you have one besides the pocket hanky that comes with the tuxedo rental!) I know we all want to make money but $20 for a cheap $2.00 hanky! Yesh!
But I digress.
Ladies, if you are thinking about having no video produced, watch that video again and ask youself, "If I could would I want to watch my grandparent's video?" If you say yes, then it's time to call one of our professionals!
And please hire a professional! So you don't end up with a pelvic trust into the camera by the groom. Not to mention all the earthquakes they seemed to be having during the dance.
I finally decided that a blog announcing the happenings around the site was needed, so welcome to Wedding Happenings. The title may be changing, I am not quite happy with it.
On the planning side we have a fantastic new article on what membership in professional associations should mean to you the consumer in choosing your vendors and service providers! Make sure you check it out.
To go along with our new association article we have decided to now list membership in the associations by displaying the association's logo in the company's listing. The logos of the professional associations are now shown at the lower right of the company's listing. For videographersWEVA, disc jockeys the ADJA and Wed Guild, photographers the PPA and the WPPI, plus the Association of Bridal Consultants since the allow non-consultant vendors in.
Amy Taylor is Editor and Chief of Bridal Films, Michiana Weddings and their respective websites and publications. Her passion for all things weddings started with "helping my sister plan her dream wedding"
