The Vera Wang Spring 2016 collection steps away from the traditional bridal gown in a big way. Instead of addressing color, it focuses on fabric in order to create looks that are much more sensual than is usually expected on a couple's big day. In spite of the sheer materials and slim silhouettes, there is something more whimsical and romantic about the looks than sexy and bold.
That's not to say sexy and bold can't be used to describe the pieces in the Vera Wang Spring 2016 collection. But the use of frilly bows, plunging necklines and chantilly lace ensure that the dresses are still appropriate for a wedding. Especially great for hot destination ceremonies, the Vera Wang Spring 2016 collection are meant for women not afraid to show off some skin.
