Gorgeous Wedding Dresses to Make You Cry

Have you ever seen so many beautiful styles and clothes in one store that you just wanted to cry because you A) Don't have enough money to buy everything, and B) You can't pick?

Check out Coast. To Die For Clothing! Here are my picks... just goregous dresses, tops, pants and shoes. Wish I could show everything : ) (Left is the Birdson Dress in Lt Pink.) This is so perfect for a wedding, spring tea, prom or even bridesmaid dress.

I admit I went a little crazy on the white dresses, but I couldn't help it! They have other colors too; and shoes; and jewelry; and pretty much anything you want.

Trash the Dress ... What a great way to get great pics!

One of the greatest sites I've seen in a long time : ) Anyone seen "Trash the Dress?" You have to see it to understand it! Great site for wedding photographers! Instead of the bride who wants to save her gown as an heirloom for her future kids or just sentimental value .. this is a site of photo's of brides who are willing to "trash the dress" and get fabulous pictures ... as you see above by J&J Photography! And here is the blurb on how this site came to be:

Go ahead, you know you want to. Trash it. Get it dirty. Get it wet. Roll around in the mud. Drench it in the ocean. Totally trash it.

Why? … Why not? You’ve made a commitment to your husband. He’s your one and only true love, right? Then you’ll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won’t wear it in 20-30 years. So you have two choices:

1) Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet2) Show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun pictures while you do it! Then after you do it- send the pictures to us to publish for all the world to see. What are you waiting on? Call one of the trusted photographers on this page or find one you trust and go trash the dress!

How to submit:

Have your photographer submit a few sample pictures and and optional story of how and why you trashed your dress! Of course, the photographer will need to give us permission to publish the pictures . We will gladly put a link up for all “trash the dress” photographers! E-mail your submission to mark@markeric.net. So send in your story, and your pictures!
