Trash the Dress Tips


So many people are interested in doing a Trash the Dress along with their senior photo session. Here are some great tips on what makes for a good Trash the Dress experience:

- find a long, flowy dress, that will float up in the water
- darker vibrant colors are best (NO WHITE!)
- wear a simple necklace
- have your hair down so we can get it wet
- bring flip flops to wear in the water
- wear waterproof mascara
- wear a swimsuit under your dress
(feels better when it gets wet!)

Where can you find a great dress? Here are some suggestions from my '09 senior models: ebay, 2nd hand stores, sister's closet, clearance racks at the mall, borrow from a friend.

And I just wanted to note- not a single dress ever actually gets 'trashed'. Just get it right in to a dry cleaners and it will come back just like new!
