Dora Trashes It!

I can remember Dora Manuel of Viva Bella Events saying, ‘I want to do a trash the dress shoot’. I couldn’t believe my ears.  Here is one of the most sought after event planners in the area telling me she wanted to trash her dress six years after her wedding.  

Fast forward a couple months and she tells me she has a hair appointment and that Nancy with Brideface was going to do her makeup.  So the date was set.  That dress would find its way out of storage and once again Dora would be wearing it, only this time it wouldn’t stay clean for long.  Of course the super talented Kortnee and Ted of Simply Timeless Photography joined in for this one.  You can check out the amazing photos from the shoot in their blog.

We created some breathtaking art that day and at the end of it all, Dora was able to clean her dress and put it back into storage.  Only now, the dress has a whole new set of memories attached to it.  I hope you enjoy Dora’s Trash the Dress!
