Vera Wang Luxe Audrey

Vera Wang Lavender Gown

This strapless bridal gown comes in lavender or ivory. If you want to wear a colored wedding dress without being too bold, this gown is a beautiful option.

This sweet dress from the Vera Wang Collection (#12148) drapes very nicely and features a “crumb catcher” bustline. You can get this wedding gown at Vera Wang retailers […]

Vera Wang Bridesmaids Dress

Though it definitely looks like it came straight from the runway, I don’t like the look of this Vera Wang bridesmaids dress (style 23M02). The skirt is too baggy… and it’s not just full, it’s baggy and sloppy looking.

I’m sure it’s hip and chic in some circles, but I don’t think it’s a good look […]

Vera Wang Taffetta Mermaid Gown

This beautiful bridal gown from Vera Wang (#12588) doesn’t have a lot of lace or beading, but it does have incredible style.

The strapless taffeta wedding gown features a pleated neckline with a flange skirt and corset hem stitching. It’s sophisticated and glamorous without being overdone.
This wedding dress is priced between $5,000-$8,000 and isn’t available online. […]

Vera Wang One Shoulder Bridal Gown

The one shoulder gown is popular in fashion right now and that has carried over into wedding gowns too.

This one shoulder mermaid gown from Vera Wang certainly is beautiful. It features a drape bodice and a spiral skirt. The only thing I don’t like is the gold laurels on the back. They could have just […]
