FACT: When you think of weddings, you think of Vera Wang. Which is all the more impressive when you realize that Vera has only been designing for brides since the early 1990’s. Now that she’s doing red and black wedding dresses only, it seems like the era of white Vera Wang wedding gowns is coming to an end.
So let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we? Here are 30 A-listers, First Daughters, pop stars, heiresses and reality stars who’ve chosen Vera when it mattered most. From Kim Kardashian’s 3 custom Vera gowns, to Posh Spice’s timeless champagne satin dress for her wedding to David Beckham (blast from the past, much?) Vera’s reach is wide and non-discriminating. Get inspired by her decades of work now.
