A few years ago the name Vera Wang did not ring any bells, but nowadays, any wedding bell would like be accompanied by a dress created by her. She started out creating bridal gowns for Hollywood’s A-list and as time went by she focused on new ventures. And she obviously succeeded. Some even got to consider Vera Wang the best of the fashion designers in matter of wedding outfits, namely dresses.

There is not much thing in a wedding dress, some conservatory thinkers might say, but what Vera Wang did was bringing upfront the uniqueness of every bride. The one thing that made Vera Wang so interesting in the bridal wear market was the fact that she introduced the idea of modernity and subtly fashionable silhouettes.

In fact, she effected a sort of a revolution in an area in which innovations were hardly thought possible at the time. The sensibility and modern-romantic instincts that Vera Wang wedding dresses stand out for have made her a brand in the fashion landscape.

However, she has recently turned to even more innovative designs, leaving out the classy white traditional designs and replacing them with shades of purple or amethyst. Also, you can see in the spring 2008 collection the gold swaged ball gowns, with satin and rose accents, all having the trademark of Vera Wang’s wedding dresses dream design.

Well aware of the fact that the white in a wedding will never fade away, the spring collection also has a few striking pieces of the mermaid design, in white. To take only an example, although the whole collection might offer valuable hints to Vera’s dream vision, let’s have a look at the Mermaid Luxe collection shown in the Spring/Summer 2008 Bridal Show she held during New York Fashion Week earlier this year.

Among others, the collection gathers models of mermaid gowns, with various tissues added to the whole dress in order to make it look fabulous. You can find pieces of organza, floral appliqués, French tulles, corsages, taffeta bands, and antique shapes mingling to create wedding dresses you ill never forget.

Little color splashes, here and there, like that green belt or the rose appliqué, make the dresses even more appealing to the eye. Once you get the whole picture you cannot help but wishing to get married as soon as possible, of having a slight regret in case you have already passed through that moment in your life.

All in all, the Vera Wang wedding dress spring collection is worth watching and admiring. The lines are simple and feminine, making the dream wedding come true… You just cannot go wrong with Vera Wang wedding dresses…
