Tid Bits about Me: TTD

In case you aren't familiar with me, I just got married October 4th to my boyfriend of 8 years, Jason. It was a long time coming, and I think all of our friends and family would agree that it was about damn time. LOL! For our honeymoon, my entire family met in Hawaii (Big Island). Now, let me explain that one because I am sure you are thinking why would we want to go on our honeymoon with family. Well, it's a long story but one of my sister's lives in Australia. So, we all met in Hawaii as she could either come home for the wedding or having a "real" family vacation of her own. So we all met up in Hawaii for a family vacation. We did get a week to ourselves as well...we aren't that crazy! Anyway, my brother-in-law has been into photography for a while and I asked him if he would take trash the dress pictures of me in Hawaii. For those of you who dont know what TTD is check it out Here. Luke was ecstatic about taking the pictures to say the least, and we had a blast.

For those of you wondering, yes I really did take my 100% silk, $1500, Paloma Blanca gown to Hawaii for the sole purpose of "trashing" it. What else are you going to do with it? Put it in a box? Why not take some gorgeous pictures of it that you can treasure forever? Let's face it, your daughter will probably not want to wear your gown. Now, I feel better about it just sitting there because I know i got more use out of it than just 1 day.



Definitely blowing this one up. I love everything about it.




One of my favorites.







I am blowing this one up to a huge 5 foot canvas. I love it!

























Haha....my savior...




Then it was down to a local watering hole at the base of a lava tube. The locals jump from the bridge down into the hole but we chose the safer route and jumped from the rock. It was still 15 feet up. My gown was like an innertube. It bounced me back up to the surface really quick. I barely went under. It scared me a little actually. I thought for sure it would smother me and render me helpless.






If you are interested in "trashing" your gown, send me a message! You don't necessarily have to "trash" your gown. It's all about creativity and showcasing your beautiful gown. It can be anything from just a farm setting, to urban, to the beach, to cutting it to bits. It is totally up to you. After all that, my gown came clean at the dry cleaners and looks brand new. It was dirtier on my wedding day from the grass and stuff. The salt water actually cleaned it a little for me.
