AZ Nestie Trash/Rock the Dress Sesh ?

Would anyone be interested in doing a trash/rock the dress session?  The other post got me thinking...what if we all did TTD together?!  I haven't had the chance to TTD my dress yet. 

Just throwing it out there, let me know your thoughts Smile

Re: AZ Nestie Trash/Rock the Dress Sesh ?

  • I would totally be interested in this... Especially if it included a discount of sorts since there would be a bunch of people....

  • I already did it once and would love to do it again BUT I already preserved my dress. I will NEVER be taking it out unless my daughter wants it. lol
  • would i be breaking a rule if i said i'd be willing to do this with you girls? (as the photog.) I'd LOVE to do it as a matter of fact.  I wouldn't charge very much at all, especially if it were a whole bunch of you and if you all agreed to the same location/s.   (I hope I don't get kicked off... lol )
  • I was just gonna say that I would love to go to practice taking photos. Just to observe and take some shots.

    Nia, that is very generous of you to offer.  I am open to most locations, this would have to be a weekend project anyway, so traveling is not a problem.

    I hope we can get more girls to join in!

  • I'd be willing to do it- as long as I'm not too far along and still fit in my dress!

  • Well I was thinking this would be something we could do in the next month or two.  When would be an ideal time for everyone?

    irlndsumer - how far along are you?

  • I'm getting SUPER excited right now!!!! I'll have to look at my calendar and let you girls know when I have availability. It will probably be in April sometime. I am SUPER busy the next couple of weeks and also in May. I'll be back with a few dates in mind. :)
  • Oooh!  Sounds like fun!  Depending on the day, I'm in!
  • if there are quite a few interested, we can always do it on 2 separate dates and different locations so you girls can choose whichever one works best. :) i have to email vanessa. i have an appt with her. she might be interested in doing this now. :)
  • i might be a little jealous of everyone wearing their wedding gowns.  maybe i'll shoot with mine on. lol!  ;)
  • Yeah that would be cool, I dont mind doing two.

    Nia, I sent you an email early, ignore it. it's not happening.

  • i'm a maybe. my dress is still sitting in the hallway, 2.5 years now. i really doubt i will ever do anything with it. i don't want to pay to have it preserved to not do anything with it, and i really don't think if i ever have a daughter the style dress i have will be in fashion. that said, i feel like a big fatty lately and not sure if i want to put it on again and be all sad, lol.

    Sure Jillian... let's chat. I'll PM you my number. Give me a call when you can. :)   

  • Depending on when it is- I'd be interested as well =)

  • Wow, I am really happy with the interest this has sparked!  I think once Nia has a better idea about her availability, we can really get serious about this.

    What locations interest everyone?  Is traveling a problem for anybody?  Would we want our hubs to attend too?

    Stacy!  I want you to too!  How much was preservation?  They have some cheap-o dresses at DB and consignment shops - just a thought.  I think it would be so fun if we had a bunch of girls from the nest do this together.

    I think just us Girls from here would be great, no hubbies.

  • bringing Hs isn't a problem for me. what i'm envisioning is doing a whole bunch of "mini" sessions and then a bunch of group shots.  during the individual mini sessions, you're welcome to bring the hubs if you want to. If you want more of a personalized session with you and your H we can always schedule something separate from the nestie group. I can even honor the same price. I'M GETTING EVEN MORE EXCITED!!!

    Stacey... i hope you can swing this and join in. I'm sure you can find something somewhere. Maybe even goodwill? Or heck, it doesn't have to be wedding gown... how about just a white dress that could pass for a wedding gown. lol.  I just hope you can do it! :) 

  • aww man I'd love to but I'm pretty sure I won't fit in my dress lol and it's all the way in NH.

    To preserve it, it was like $190! lol I'm not doing that all over again.

    Maybe I will look at Goodwill or just get a white dress. I'll see. It sounds SOOOO fun!!! When is this going to happen?? Was a date set yet?

  • Stacey-

    I have a cheap internet lace wedding gown(never worn, changed my mind) that you can use if you are interested.  It looks similar to this one: image

    I also have my first wedding dress (from 2005) that you can also borrow if you like.
