Vera Wang Discount Designer Wedding Gowns

Vera Wang Wedding Gowns

The inimitable name Vera Wang has become synonymous with high fashion and irresistible wedding gown design. She first experienced couture and the world of exquisite fashion on the ice rink as a competitive figure skater. Some of the athletic attire and shimmering costumes she wore at skating events were of the finest quality and most salient design.

However, once forever off the ice, Vera knew to passionately immerse herself in the fashion business, and to waste no time finding her true calling. After finishing her career in figure skating and subsequent studies at Chapin and Sarah Lawrence, she attended the Sorbonne in Paris, France. While there, she discovered her inexhaustible love for fashion design, and then slowly began her climb to fashion stardom.

Writing for Vogue Magazine was her first official segue into the industry, and at age 23, Vera Wang became the youngest editor in the history of fashion journalism. After 16 years with Vogue, her next remarkable professional accomplishment was to become the design director of women’s accessories for Ralph Lauren. It was her own upcoming marriage, however, which inevitably inspired her to begin her own business, and which started her upon that glorious ascent to the top of the fashion industry.

When it was time for her wedding, Vera could not find her ideal wedding gown. The one she knew she had to wear was just not in existence. It was then that she knew she had to design her dress. She immediately started sketching drawings of her dream dress. This of course was the start of a new and illustrious career for Vera Wang. It not only became her very first wedding gown design, but Vera Wang’s official entry into the bridal fashion world.

Her own bridal boutique opened shortly thereafter and she began dressing the elite of the elite. It was 1990, and Vera Wang is credited with creating a fashion design company “That not only reflects her lifelong love of fashion, but also celebrates the romance, sensuality and spirit of modern young women.” Now, Vera Wang is considered one of the most respected and influential bridal gown designers in the world. Vera Wang’s combination of elegant, modern and sexy styling makes her wedding gowns inimitable and unforgettable.

Vera Wang has become known for her unique selection and use of the finest fabrics: flowing organza, luminous Mikado, and rich and supple satins. Once in a Vera Wang bridal gown, a bride will never want to take it off. Indeed, Vera Wang’s distinctive vision of beautiful, glamorous style will keep her name on the lips and bodies of blushing brides for many generations to come!
