Vera Wang's Beautiful Dream

It is believed that dreams can be the manifestations of our subconscious desires or feelings of our more internal and spiritual state. Colors represent auras and their importance in our subliminal messaging to ourselves and others should not be underestimated. With that sentiment in mind, Vera Wang delivered a telling bouquet of wedding gowns for Spring 2013, at her New York studio on Sunday, April 15.

Translating from "Mei Meng," meaning "beautiful dream," Wang's show used powerful shades of the color of blood, fire and passion as her 15 bridal designs were perfectly missing any hint of traditional white. The non-white wedding dress has become of trend in the past few seasons with black and pastels, but no designer has palpated the love between two people, and the internal inferno that burns between them, into an ornately crafted work like Wang has done this season.

From a coral cardinal red to a plum-eggplant dahlia color, each dress showcased its own intricacies. Those that appreciate the details have an eyeful, with crystal black studded floral applique, folded and bunched hints of Chantilly lace and cutouts revealing some back. Most looks were strapless which provided the perfect amount of skin which naturally will balance these colors off a blushing bride, but, also provided respite for an often voluminous and bulky bottom half. For fashion forward brides looking to stand out with structure, see the well crafted crimson mermaid gown which gave a fitted illusion as a tulle A-line skirt covered waist down for a sheer effect.

Wang added a brilliant spark of life to the coming bridal season and with her rose colored glasses we should take note of her renewed zeal for making lavish wedding dresses and the mystery of what she will show us next.
