At the conclusion of the New York Bridal Market in October 2012 the most talked about collection was Vera Wang’s. She stole the show by unveiling… all white wedding gowns! Her last collection for spring 2013 featured all shades of red, and the one before, for fall 2012, was all about nude and black. This time the anticipation was high – what will Vera do next? Well, she went for traditional colours and romantically ruffled shapes – have a look!

Judging by this sneak peek, sleeves, lace, embroidery and vintage influences will be huge next year! We can’t wait to see more!
