For my friends in California, "trash the dress" usually meant taking the dress to the beach and wading around in the water and sand. It usually destroyed their dresses: huge tears, train torn from the rest of the dress, stains that wouldn't come out, fine fabrics like organza and silk stiffened or otherwise altered. If it's a dress that you want to pass on or treasure, be aware of the risks involved. The photographer will be very enthusiastic about the idea, will show you artsy photos of the experience with other clients. You may find yourself with an unhappy wife if you decide to go along without understanding the consequences.
