Edgy Wedding Dresses

The Vera Wang Bridal Fall Collection is Fit for the Avant-Garde Bride

— October 15, 2015 — Lifestyle
Following last season's collection of sultry gowns, the Vera Wang Bridal Fall '16 collection is as dramatic and playful as the designer's best creations. This collection of 17 gowns features all the opulent and outlandish detailing an avant-garde bride needs on her wedding dress.

Romantic and contemporary, this collection is riddled with girlish details and sultry gowns. Just like Wang's Spring '16 Bridal collection, the core inspiration behind this lineup is the sensuality of Spain. Dubbing this collection 'Hotel Madrid Part Two,' the Vera Wang Bridal Fall '16 collection features voluminous tulle skirts, illusion necklines, cutouts, hand embroidered bodices, oversized bows, boudoir-inspired designs and sheer sleeves that cover the entire arm and hand.

However, the highlight of this collection is the black silk taffeta gown with a collared neckline and cutaway bubble skirt.
