Vera Wang Wedding Dresses, Engagement Rings
Vera got the idea to make wedding dresses while planning her wedding to Arthur Becker in 1989. Initially, she was looking for her wedding attire, but no dress could awe her.
At the time, everyone was wearing the 4-inch cap-sleeve and a bodice of sequined lace with a big pouf skirt. So, disappointed with what was on the market, Vera started designing the dresses herself.
She brought a change with modern and elegant ideas and then created designs for all kinds of brides. Eventually, her designs became very popular.

Many might think Vera's designs are costly. But they couldn't be more wrong. Vera has different collections of wedding dresses with varying ranges of a price for all sorts of brides. She introduced a separate group of affordable bridal wears - White by Vera Wang - in 2011 that sells wedding dresses ranging from around $500-$2000.
