Review: This is a gorgeous book for anyone who is getting married. Naturally I was most interested to read what Vera Wang had to say on the subject of wedding gowns - and I wasn't disappointed. Every element of the gown is broken down and discussed, plus the section at the very back of the book is an invaluable resource. The photographs are exquisite.

Review: Vera Wang on Weddings is as sumptuous and refined as the designer's dresses. From the sheer white vellum page overlays to the beautiful photographs of flower girls--including her own two adorable daughters--along with reception sites featuring shimmering pools filled with floating candles and flowers, majestic cathedrals, and of course dress after amazing dress, this a design lover's book.
Wang shares her lifelong love of fashion and her personal experience as a bride, but she is not self-indulgent. The focus is on the splendor of brides and weddings in general. Apart from the lush pictures of her clients' weddings, there is an illustrated glossary of dress terms, and Wang offers straightforward opinions on which silhouettes flatter which figure.
Although the book addresses everything from grooms' cakes to the cocktail hour to the morning after brunch, in terms of wedding planning it is mainly an inspiration book that provides a general overview with timeless advice. While it is an excellent fashion resource, some brides may find Martha Stewart's Best of Weddings highlights a wider range of reception ideas--especially for less formal weddings--with more detailed planning tips.

Review: Vera Wang presents weddings that make you want to find YOUR GUY right away. If you are already married, it may fill you with regrets. The layout is large and inspiring. In terms of details, you will be happy. I do agree about using the vows and song in Ken Agori's novel (carried by Amazon). I understand a CD is available and Celine may record it...Vera will make you a romantic, even if you're cynical

Review: What a fitting tribute to a classic American designer. Vera Wang has forever changed the way we see our brides with her elegant and graceful designs. It's wonderful to see that someone still believes in the glamour and whimsey that accompanies, what for many people, is the most beautiful expression of love. The photography is a marvel and the cover is surely bound to turn heads. It begs the question of who is the woman under the veil and leads to this next: Who took the cover photo? I was saddened to not find the credit for this extraordinary photo and feel that someone should get credit for this wonderful piece of art. All in all this will grace many coffee tables of the would be, soon to be and already betrothed of this land. A beautiful addition to anyone's collection, that triumphantly speaks to the magic of a wedding.
