Trash The Dress

So, Im getting married in June.
and am wondering what i want to do with my dress after the wedding.
I've heard of people selling them,
or just leaving them in their closets forever.
Some put them in preservation boxes (davids bridal does these for reasonably cheap)
but then you can only see part of the dress..the top part..

Next option i heard of, and my mom would go stir crazy with this idea, is making it into a keepsake quilt. kind of like the one below. I like the idea, but living in an apartment, with two kids two and under...dont see it staying very clean very long..
i think i really want to do a "trash the dress" shoot. Probably immediately following the wedding. i think this would be SO much fun, then i could have amazing bridal pictures..and not have to worry about ruining the dress before the "big day"

Some of these pics are amazing. and i would love to be able to do stuff like this.
doing them on both sides of the camera would be fun, taking them and getting them taken.

Anyone wanna either take pics after my wedding, or have me take some of you in your dress?

There are some AMAZING ideas that we could do here in evanston.

-Railroad/roundhouse area

-farm

-parks

-old downtown

-the scoop

-bear lake (not in town, but close enough!)

-the ponds/bear river

Im so excited. i so want to do some shoots like this when i get my new camera..

OOHH! even pics in old prom/homecoming dresses could be so amazing.

SUPER EXCITED!
