Brides Get Noticed Wearing Asymmetrical Gowns - Spring 2011 from Vera Wang
We've got some very special photos for you today thanks to Melissa from Wedding Obsession! These inspiring images are borrowed from Melissa's post about Vera Wang's structurally refreshing Spring 2011 collection!
We're huge fans of Vera's designs, as are the many brides-to-be who salivate over her incredible collections. Her dresses are always stunning, but we really love the new direction she's taking for Spring 2011.
Vera has showed us that asymmetry can be eye-catching, yet soft as she's added swaths of draped fabric to create elements reminding us of things found in nature. In the dresses below we see gowns shaped like whisps of smoke, large and small three-dimensional florals, the texture and shape of water polished stones, and a dress that reminds us of snow covered mountains. Gorgeous and intelligent!

In her own way, Vera also refers to architecture in this collection and has created some breath-taking, structured garments that remind us of paper fans and sea creatures at the same time. Here, she's moving into avante-garde territory, but we're sure that gutsy brides who strut down the aisle (doing their most fierce runway walk!) in one of these gowns will turn heads, not to mention end up with some spectacular photos.
Vera Wang Gowns That Won't Blow Your Budget
Alas, for some of us a full price Vera Wang gown just doesn't figure into the budget, but all is not lost because we've got some budget-friendly options for you...
This Vera Wang Luxe Collection gown is so pretty with the satin ribbon detail that runs the length of the dress and delicate bows that trail down the zipper line! From the 2008 collection, it's still very au courant and has a modern mermaid silhouette, available for only $875!
This Vera Wang strapless a-line wedding dress is made from airy ivory tulle and has exquisite embroidered flowers with crystal embellishments around the bust and waist! From the 2009 collection and available for $2500.
Similar to the stunning dress worn by Kate Hudson in Bride Wars, this Vera Wang with ball gown skirt has a ruched tulle sweetheart corset. The dress is comprised of 200 yards of tulle! From the 2008 collection, this oh so pretty gown can be yours for $2900!
