Default Trash the Dress... The Toddler Version

In case anyone is interested, my daughter created her first Shutterfly book of photos of my granddaughter in a flower girl dress. The dress was from when she was in a wedding in May and barely fits her so Mom decided to do Trash the Dress at the park... garnered quite a bit of attention as you might guess.. My daughter used one of the standard Shutterfly template books.. but it came cute and was such a fun concept. tfl

Gallery Project Details | Shutterfly

Well my DH pointed out that not everyone may be familiar with the concept of Trash the Dress.. so just in case.. there is a whole website where brides put on their wedding dresses and do crazy things which makes for great photos but very often ruins the dress.. great fun assuming of course you weren't the one who paid for it... here's the link

Thanks so much for sharing the link for your daughter's album, Donna. I think it was a brilliant idea to take all those photos, especially in the beautiful fall season. She got wonderful results.

What a great idea! She did a wonderful job with the photos-I love the baseball hat and the tennis shoes with the dress.

Thank you all for your kind comments.. I passed them on to my daughter. She just got her first DSLR for Christmas and has been working with it since so she was thrilled to hear you all thought the photos were great :-) DonnaD

Such an adorable book. Those shots are so great. I love the concept. We have a dance recital outfit that may get some use that way. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks everyone again for your kind words and glad some will use the idea :-) I was thinking it would work with a Communion dress... a prom dress.. I mean the possibilities are endless :-)

Your daughter did a great job with this book, Donna. I love her original idea and love even more how she translated her idea into photos and the darling book!

My favorite photo is the one that she used for the cover. I love that little flash of blue from the bottom of her little shoe!
