Everything is supposed to be perfect on your wedding day—especially the bride’s dress. For the brides above, however, they seem to be having the time of their lives trashing their traditional white gowns.
The photos in the gallery were winners of the “Trash the Dress” competition hosted by the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA). The organization hosts a variety of other fun contests similar to this one, but this contest is always most popular by far.
Take a look above for some impeccably timed wedding dress destruction!
