I don’t know about you, but I know that whenever I say Vera Wang wedding dress, I think about perfect, immaculate white wedding dresses with intricate designs and fairy princess cuts. Every time. And the recent celebrity weddings helped me shaped that image with even more accuracy. How lovely was Hilary Duff in her Vera Wang wedding gown?
However, the last celebrity wedding I remember being Vera Wang overloaded was Kim Kardashian’s. The most famous Kardashian was finally going to settle down with basketball player Kris Humphries. The wedding reception in itself, although completely lacked of imagination and finesse, based on a black and white theme, revolved around the bride: Kim Kardashian wore no less than three wedding dresses, all designed by Vera Wang! How exquisite is that?
Just the other day, after weeks and weeks of speculations, of paparazzi chasing the newlyweds around town/s, hunting their ring finger for any palpable proof of real marriage, the bomb went twitborne! Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from her husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries! Bam! The media went crazy, if Twitter was based on wires, they would’ve surely been on fire! The world is in shock (of course it is!), not really knowing which side to take. I’m not here to discuss that and nor to I care for fame – fabricated moments. I’m here to ask you about Vera Wang’s latest bridal collection: black wedding dresses? I mean… come on? Black bridal gowns? What the…? I know it’s maybe just a cliché, much like Santa all red and Coke – ish… But? Vera Wang’s wedding dresses just got black, man! It’s serious!
Look at them! No, just look at them! Seriously! Black wedding dresses? I know Vera is a designer and we all love her blessed talented soul! But we don’t really have to embrace anything and everything she’s force feeding us! Girls? It’s alright, it’s perfectly normal to want white wedding dresses! It’s just a fashion season! Believe me, it’ll all be over before you know it! Blink and you’ll miss it! (I cross my fingers for it to be just a flavor of a season, maybe heavily influenced by, who knows, Kim Kardashian having gone over the highest mountain top and back to have a Vera Wang bridal gown extravaganza? Just asking, innocently asking, don’t go casting the stone now!)

I agree its just a fad & provocative PR from Wang. We know virgin brides at the altar these days are an endangered species but unless the bride’s a Goth I fail to see the attraction. Now that’s just me of course. A bride should feel free to choose what she wants.
I’ve seen red, butter yellow & lavender wedding gowns though but at second time marriages.
The only good thing I see about these black wedding dresses is that they can be worn again afterwards especialy to formal affairs and Halloween Balls *rolls eyes in air*
I think that the dresses are lovely but I do agree that it is a trend, and there will be hoppers on this trend skateboard.
I myself have always dreamed of wearing an Audrey Hepburn type dress to my dream wedding, like the one she wore in Sabrina. : )
A Black wedding reminds me of the Addams family. Positively ghoulish.
I can’t wait till they go!
