A 2007 bride of mine shared a link with me last night with this photo!  She had a friend who was married in Sweden - they used Erika Gerdemark Photography…while doing some exploring she found some trash the dress photos on the blog! I just had to share this one - it’s stunning!  It’s a trend that’s been around for a while and is spreading universally! It’s about being creative and not destroying memories - you’re creating new ones!  Most wedding photographers are game for it so don’t hesitate to ask!  Check out the official TTD website.  I’m sure your dress will be happy to be worn a second time!  Check out the rest of the photo session from above at Erika’s Blog.

Want to feel like a fashionista in white? White Chicago specializes in new, sample and once-wed designer wedding gowns. After spending a few weeks with the wonderful ladies that work there, I can honestly say this store is one of the greatest wedding ideas since man! (more…)
