I'm not going to lie. Ever since I was a little girl of probably five or six, I have been obsessed with weddings. Some of my favorite movies are Wedding Date, Wedding Planner, Bride Wars and My Best Friend's Wedding. I never miss an episode of TLC's show, "Say Yes to the Dress" and I waste far too much valuable study time searching through page after page of online wedding blogs.
Last week the girls and I had brunch in Yorkville, and while walking by Vera Wang's flagship store, my friend Charmaine and I almost seizured on the street.
Her bridal collection is truly a work of art. With the multiple layers of lace, chiffon and tulle, the dresses truly possess the ability to outshine an entire room. They make a statement without even trying, and the sheer beauty of them could make a bride out of even the harshest wedding critic. Every gown has the possibility to make even the least girliest of women feel like an absolute princess. The downside? The designer pricetag. These masterpieces do not come cheap, and usually not for less than $8-10,000.
You can imagine my delight this week, when I found out that the bridal goddess herself has paired with David's Bridal to create a more affordable line of her famous wedding gowns. The line, titled White by Vera Wang, will also include accessories and bridesmaids dresses, to help make the whole Wang wedding look more accessible to brides with a more modest budget. Each dress in the collection will range in price from $600 to $1400, and will be available in David's Bridal stores in February 2011.
