Trashing the dress

Our wedding day was pretty rushed, what with two ceremonies and a four hour drive between them. Our pictures were also rather rushed. They aren't our favourite. So, we redid them (3 years later) the way that we would have liked them, relaxed and fun. I'd been really excited to do this for months, but when the day arrived, I was less than enthusiastic; I'd forgotten how uncomfortable wedding dresses are. Also, I felt a bit silly parading around the house in this dress that I completely altered for modesty's sake (since my own dress was apparently off limits). Our friend Kelsey came over to take the photos. She did such an amazing job!
We really did have an absolute whale of a time!

Unfortunately, there weren't any pictures of these beautiful shoes that I bought to go with the ensemble. I do love them, though. (I took this photo for some inanimate object practice.)
(I had to sneak Edith in here somewhere.)

And then, the trashing!!
Runny frosting! I really didn't want it on my face.

I was too messy to go anywhere near the house, so I had to strip off outside while everyone looked the other way. That was pretty tricky. I got stuck more than once.
Overall, it was such an awesome use of a wedding dress. Thank you eBay seller!

Amber that's such an awesome idea! I to do not like most of my wedding photos...hmmm maybe I'll copy you! I can use my dress since my girls definitely will not be fitting into it (I'm a shrimp). Although maybe not your Mom would die since she made it. But redoing the pics would be fun!

I don't get it. Why did you get sprayed with frosting? Just wondering.

gee Erin... 'cause it's gooey, messy, colorful, and fun... What's the fun in buying and altering it if you can't screw it up when you're done?
Kudos Am, you said you were going to and you did it! Awesome. Looks like fun.
