Vera Wang on how to choose the perfect wedding dress – and veil

Queen of the coloured couture wedding gown Vera Wang has shared her advice on choosing the perfect colour for your wedding gown – as well as the perfect veil.

Wang, who is known for the bold use of colour and texture in her bridal gown collections, encourages brides to step out of the traditional mindset of only considering a white gown, saying brides-to-be should push the boundries to choose a dress that reflects their personality perfectly.

“A bride should look at everything she possibly can and try on all the different possibilities just so she can experiment and see what makes her really feel beautiful or glamorous or classical or whatever she desires to be on that particular day,” says Wang.

“Because it’s really about you. It’s about your day, your feelings, your marriage and the rest of your life…”
