Celebrate the dress Usually after more than a year of planning and the joy of your wedding day, your beautiful dress is packed away carefully and not seen again until your children are tying the knot. So what if you could take it on one last outing, not to trash it, but to celebrate it? Newly married Rachel did just that. “I felt it was a waste of such a beautiful gown to only wear my wedding dress once. I had always planned to ‘drown my dress’, so when the opportunity arose with Love & Water Photography, whose work I greatly admired, I jumped at the chance.” It was a wonderful, personal experience. “It was an amazing way to honour my dress one last time. On my wedding day I wanted to be at my most beautiful for my husband. The shoot gave me the opportunity to wear my favourite dress and be glamorous, just for me!”
