A popular new trend in wedding photography is called "trash the dress." As this photographer explains, "Despite what the name implies, a trash-the-dress photography session doesn’t necessarily mean destroying the dress; it simply means doing things in your wedding gown that you wouldn't do on your wedding day ... Get it dirty. Get it wet. Roll around in the mud. Drench it in the ocean. Totally trash it, and get some great fun pictures while you do it!"
Sounds good to me! Especially if you got a good deal on your gown :)

* Baking soda: Use baking soda in a parmesan cheese container (glass one with the stainless steel top with holes in it) and sprinkle on any surface. This is great for bathrooms and the kitchen. You can also use baking soda as a natural fabric softener in the dryer.
* Vinegar: Vinegar will clean just about any surface in your home: windows, countertops, floors, etc. You can even use it in the wash cycle with your laundry to keep fabrics from fading. For specific recipes and uses visit http://www.versatilevinegar.org/usesandtips.html.
* Borax: Borax is effective with laundry and also removes mold in the shower.
* Hydrogen peroxide: Use hydrogen peroxide for disinfecting and whitening instead of bleach.
* Vodka: Vodka dispersed from a spray bottle will freshen up fabrics and upholstery. It’s cheap and non-toxic. The alcohol evaporates.
