Avoid the excess that prompts the rebellion, and trashing needn't be a part of your 'memory making'
Who are these brides lashing out at? Any stress from the event is stress they have created. The trash the dress sessions are just more conspicuous consumption, a weak bid to look 'easy going' and 'laid back' after the 24x7 Vanity Freakfest of the wedding. It's hard to even smile at such faux wacky hi-jinks.
I spent $180 on my wedding dress and then gave it to Goodwill. It sure wasn't the nicest dress in the store, but guess what - it was the only long white gown in the room where I got married and held my reception, so it looked great.
