VERA WANG OPENS IN SYDNEY

Last night, we were lucky enough to be invited to attend the opening of the VERA WANG first stand-alone bridal boutique in Australia and view the stunning Spring/Summer 2012 Bridal Collection. And what a magnificent night it was!

The store which occupies 140 square meters in Sydney’s heritage InterContinental hotel is both minimalist and mysterious, which leaves the romance to the bridal dresses showcased beautifully on mannequins within the boutiques arched windows. The opening of the boutique in the InterContinental follows in the tradition established when Vera Wang opened her first store in the landmark Carlyle Hotel in New York. The boutique stocks Vera’s signature bridal gowns and accessories from footwear to corsages, as well as fragrance and highlights from the designer’s Wedgewood home collection.

The collection itself is breathtaking and represents an ode to the Paris Opera, with inspiration taken from the works of famed French artist Edgar Degas. Think floating natural-waist ballerina ball gowns, layers and layers of tulle and degrade floral laser-cut organza. A collection described by Vera Wang as “artful and adorable”

The store is a welcomed arrival for Brides across Australia who no longer have to dream about wearing a VERA WANG creation on their special day. It can now be reality without having to get on a plane to make it happen. Spend more on the dress and less on the travel!

The VERA WANG bridal service is by appointment only and is the first time that Australian brides have had the opportunity to experience the complete range and will also hold trunk shows in the boutiques twice a year.

Be sure to get in touch quickly to make appointments, as no doubt these appointments are going to be hotter then a Hermes Birkin bag waitlist for Australian brides!
