Amelia reflects two important elements of my design philosophy: weightlessness and draping.
The ethereal beauty of a fairytale princess inspired this collection. I wanted to capture the concept of weightlessness through light, frothy skirts. By removing the crinolines (stiff petticoats under the skirt), the wedding dresses gain more movement. The result is a nymph-like sensuality that is both romantic and modern.
Soft draping across a structured bodice is a challenging formula in design. At Vera Wang, we have sought to master this technique and made it a signature of my wedding dresses. With Amelia, I chose to leave the seam allowance at the back of the draped bodice free, consciously adding more detail to the back. My eye is always searching for subtle ways to draw attention there… 
COLOR
My recent collections of wedding dresses are tinged with color to provide a fresh interpretation on modernity. I believe color expresses romance, artistry and femininity. For this particular collection, I focused on a palette of muted colors. Amelia is shown here in pale nude but is also available in ivory and white. Color speaks to each bride in a different way; use it to capture your own sense of style and originality.
I wanted to pass along another great wedding gift or great idea for your new homes. A customized canvas for under $200. The process is simple, submit your photo, choose your favorite design and within three days your art will be on its way.
This great company uses your portrait and layers it on top of a custom background created with mementos from your relationship, like scanned love letters, newspaper clippings, your vows, song lyrics, sentimental text messages - you name it.
A wonderful addition for your new home together.
