Product Description
What bride doesn't dream of walking down the aisle in a gown by Vera Wang, the world's most sought after bridal designer? Vera Wang, who single-handedly revolutionised the bridal industry with her chic, sophisticated, stylish designs, shares her vision and ideas on every aspect of this special day in a lavish volume produced with Callaway Editions, Ltd. The world's most successful bridal gown designer shares her vision for this most important event--the wedding. Rather than a soup-to-nuts approach with endless lists of what to do, Vera Wang details each aspect of the wedding with her thoughts and ideas, culled from years of experience in the wedding business. From budgets and bouquets to cake and communication, Vera imparts her wisdom and advice. All the traditional parts of planning a wedding - invitations, registries, and music--are included, but what sets this book apart from all the others are the little things she pays attention to. The First Dance, The Bride Who Wears Glasses, Fittings (and weight fluctuations!), The Garter ("Do I Have to Do That?") A wedding book by Vera Wang wouldn't be complete without detail on the bride's gown. She explains how to select the right neckline, construction, length, bodice, and waistline for each bride's figure. What fabrics are appropriate for certain times of day. How to choose among a veil, headband, flower blossoms or bows for a headpiece. All of this is accompanied by hundreds of photographs that illustrate Vera's vision. Vera offers advice on every aspect of this important day. There are 75 essays on gowns, on veils, on waistlines, on choosing a short or long dress, on dressing the bridal party, on rings, on bouquets, on love, and more, with hundreds of glorious photographs.

Format:Hardcover
This book rates highly on my list of "Secret Single Behaviours" (Sex and the City fans will understand this one). Kept hidden on the top shelf of my wardrobe, away from the prying eyes of a committment phobic boyfriend, it is an ultimate daydream book, to be savoured on my own for moments of escapism and fantasy. The book is a beautifully-dressed window into the world of the elegant society wedding, where brides are graceful, grooms rich and handsome, venues extravagently appointed, flower arrangements gargantuan and effusive, and tables linen clad and ladenwith lead crystal glasses and sterling silver cutlery. Beautifully constructed and photographed with transparent overlays gracing some of the pages, this book meets all the aesthetic standards expected from the world's leading wedding dress designer. Vera Wang lovingly and with extraordinary sensitivity and attention to detail leads you through each step of a wedding, covering proposal, gift registery, ceremony, table settings and of course, the all important selection and fitting of the dress. The book affords glimpses of high profile weddings that manage to juxtapose the formal grandour of Occasion with touching intimate moments. One picture depicts a famous bride, bathed in early morning sunshine, hair immaculately coiffed, high heels and stockings in place, stepping into her Vera Wang gown ready to transform, chrysalis-like, into a Bride. Surprisingly, it is not an overt advert for Vera Wang couture, although it did have me rushing to the store. Rather, it is a sharing of experience and beauty from a woman for whom weddings are such a precise art that each season she creates several new shades of white.

I brought this for a friend and she loves it. This is not a wedding book which tells where to save the money. This is a more luxury wedding book and has fantastics tips for people who need a little more expert help.
