Julia Trowbridge

Vera Wang bridal collections are known the world over as the premiere luxury purveyor of fashionable wedding gowns. Anybody who’s anybody has likely gotten married in a Vera Wang wedding dress, or at least knows someone who has gotten married in one.
Each fall and spring Vera Wang’s fashion house releases their newest collection, and each season the world (or at least the fashion world) awaits the opening with baited breath. Brides-to-be from all over the world covet her gowns for their elegant simplicity and breathtaking, flowing designs, and wearing her gown in your wedding ensures that you will secure the envy of every other woman (and some of the men) in the room. 

Vera Wang gowns are notoriously expensive and while less-expensive brands have been released in recent years (like the line, Simply Vera Wang, for Kohl’s), the original Vera Wang collections continue to dominate the market. Vera Wang’s bridal gowns are revered by critics worldwide and are a beloved favorite of celebrities all over. Recent celebrities to have donned a Vera Wang wedding dress are Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton, Ivanka Trump, Jessica Simpson, Elin Nordegren, and even punk-rocker Avril Lavigne.

The sheer number and variety of brides who have chosen a Vera Wang for their walk down the aisle is a testament to the enduring legacy and versatile style of her gowns: while all Vera Wang gowns possess a certain simplistic feel and dreamy designs, the cuts, colors, and accessories of the gowns vary widely and thus all types of fashion orientations from rocker-chic to classical elegance are represented within Vera Wang’s collections.

 In short, wearing a Vera Wang bridal gown is the ultimate status symbol for any bride-to-be. While her collections differ from season to season, each collection represents the Vera Wang ideals of a quiet, calm elegance and an almost dreamlike, effervescent style. Whether you consider yourself a fashion aficionado or not, you’re almost sure to find the perfect gown in a Vera Wang collection: the only question is whether you can afford it!
