a little Vera for everyone

Along with New York Fashion Week comes the introduction of an exciting new line for brides -- White by Vera Wang for David's Bridal.  This collection was developed out of Vera's desire to make her dresses more accessible to everyone.  Promoted under the tag line "Every Bride Deserves to Wear White," the prices range from $600-$1400 (amazing!) and incorporate the same beauty and elegance you would expect from Vera Wang.  This is a dream come true for budget brides who want all the fashion of high-end designers without breaking the bank.  The collection officially goes on sale today!

   

I think Vera said it best --

"I've learned that a wedding dress represents more than just 'a dress.'  It embodies a bride's lifelong dream and her own sense of who she is."

You can see more of the collection online at David's Bridal!

Happy Friday everyone!

Fashion has become a real passion of mine lately.  For me, it's fun to create different looks -- to combine what I have in new and unique ways that express my personality.  Sometimes I get so wrapped up in creating something new I take twice as long to get ready for work...

The same is true when choosing a wedding dress (I'm not doing this anytime soon, but I can't say I don't love looking).  The search for the perfect dress is not only about how it fits and what it looks like, but how it makes you feel -- if you feel like yourself in the dress.  Well, if you're a ruffle kind of bride, I think you'll love Vera Wang's 2011 Spring collection.  You may have already seen this around, but I thought it was too good not to feature.

It's no secret that Vera Wang is an extremely talented designer, so it's no surprise that her new collection showcases that talent.  A lot of times with high fashion some pieces are a far stretch for the average person to wear, but many of these unique dresses are not just meant for the runway.  And a lot of them aren't the conventional white -- also another trend we're seeing in the wedding industry.  Goodbye white, hello ivory, peach, silver?  Below are some of my favorites!

Ruffles.  With a twist.

A unique mix of textures -- and I'm really loving the peach color.  Such a soft look.

What do you think about this gray?
