Trash The Dress Times 2

The wedding is over. You have worn your beautiful dress once. You now have two choices. Put it in a box in your closet to never be seen or looked at again (don’t believe me, ask your mother how many times she has taken her dress back out to look at it. I asked mine, and she said she hasn’t) or, put it back on and have some fun with it. Now, here’s the big catch, we don’t have to literally trash the dress, but rather just take really cool photos in really cool locations and not be so concerned about a little dirt or dust here and there.
