I'm spending $700 on a preowned Watters dress and I would never dream of ruining it. To me $700 is a lot of money for one dress! I plan on saving it to pass along should I have a daughter someday. I don't have a Mom and don't get to experience recieving heirlooms like that so I'd like to at least experience the giving end someday.

Instead of trashing donate the gown. If you don't care whats happens to it after your "special day" then let someone who does not have a grand or more to spend on one use it. Better yet have the bridesmaids donate theirs too.They won't be worn again either. Make someone elses day "special." in this world of disposable everything lets get back to reusing and not TRASHING our ONE and ONLY PLANET.

Amazing the list of silly rituals that are required to get married now. From the over the top "marry me" scene, showers, bachelors parties, wedding, and now trash the dress. Soon to be followed by all the nasty "I'm pregnant and almost naked" photos. Seems like getting married now is all about the process, while ignoring the concept.

My friend and her husband took beautiful underwater pictures in her "trash gown" but what I don't think most people on here realize is a lot of these "trash gowns" weren't their actual wedding dresses but second-hand or much cheaper dresses bought just for these pictures.
And to the haters - if these brides can afford to trash an expensive gown and have no regrets about it later in life - not your problem.
