For the wedding ceremony, she chose a lily-white silk georgette and hand-tumbled tulle high-low gown, featuring a sweet heart plunging neckline and a cutaway back. In a heart warming tribute to her family Gwen wore a lily-white chapel length veil featuring hand embroidered names of  Blake, Gwen, Kingston, Zuma and Apollo flanked by 2 white roses at the hem of the veil. 

Gwen wore a shorter version of her ceremony dress for the reception which featured a corseted bodice and a tulle skirt that was embroidered with two love birds, a symbol of the couple and three baby love birds representing her children.  She accessorised her mini dress with sparkling earrings, gold bangle bracelets and a cross necklace.

Vera Wang Bridal Spring 2020 Collection

While the previous bridal collection of Vera Wang for Fall 2019 represented her vision of royalty in a mid summer night’s dream with transparent layers of metallic laces and dramatic tiaras,  Vera Wang Spring 2020 bridal collection explores a selection of more gentle and relaxed wedding gowns with a more romantic and bohemian feel.

This season Vera Wang has taken a more sensual and feminine approach with mixtures of silhouettes and fabrics with asymmetric necklines and contrasts in textures and tonalities. With a full exploration of floral embellishment as collars, sleeves and corsages, most of the gowns can be viewed from a 360* perspective, creating an element of surprise at every turn.

“For the fashion-forward bride who wants to look truly relaxed, a bit of strangeness would feel just right—maybe even a bit liberating.”
