Brides Get Noticed Wearing Asymmetrical Gowns - Spring 2011 from Vera Wang

TAGS: WEDDING OBSESSION, VERA WANG, WEDDING DRESS, TRENDS

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!
