Fash that Dress!!

A new tradition for many recent brides out there is to get that beautiful wedding dress on that you paid hundreds (maybe thousands!) of dollars for a go and trash it!

Well, if your mom is anything like mine, she just about had a conniption fit at the idea of my trashing my beautiful Maggie Sottero wedding gown. It calmed her nerves (a little), though, when I changed the name to the also common "Fash the Dress".

So what is "Fash the Dress", you might ask? It's a fashion shoot with your wedding dress!! It gives us brides the opportunity to put on our beautiful wedding dresses again. You know, the one that we spent hours and hours looking for, only to wear it for one day? Yeah, that one!

Put on the dress, doll yourself up again, and go take pictures in areas that you wouldn't have on your wedding day.

Why?

Because this time it doesn't matter how dirty it gets! And the best part? You don't have to be at the reception hall by 6, so you can take as much time as you want!!


I'm thankful to have a wonderful photographer as my mother-in-law, Bunny Ninaber, who was more than willing to take me out for a photo day! And I think she was just as excited about the idea of going out as I was!

We took a trip to downtown Galt, along the river, where there are beautiful stones and archways and ruins.

Here's a sneak peak of some of the shots we got! Enjoy!
(Oh! And comment to your hearts content! I love seeing them!)
