We all know that the Vera Wang wedding gown style is usually traditional with modern touches. We also know that Vera Wang gowns are usually very expensive.
That’s why this year’s 2010 spring collection was an interesting change from her norm. The dresses were wonderful for the most part and this collection included several more affordable wedding gowns. (some dresses are $2,000 less than what she would normally charge). Understanding what the economy is like this year, Wang made sure that the median price of this year’s gowns was around $3,800. For her, this is phenomenal, fiscally responsible dress making.
In some ways, she went away from her normal style. For instance, one of her dresses had wide, loose straps that strayed from her normal style of strapless dresses, a wrapped bodice that wasn’t cinched tight to the body, and a lightly bunched silhouette with a big white bow on the left side. This bridal gown also had another bow in the back, with a nice, low cut V-back.
This collection brought out colors, debuting a green strapless wedding gown with layers of light silks, an empire bodice with a slight ball gown silhouette and a green silk wrap at the waist. The belt accessory seemed to be more popular with this collection of wedding gowns. One gown with a belt was a light tan color in flowing layers; the gown was stunning.
Another strapless tan dress just didn’t impress me. It had a pure lace wrap that tied into a big bow and a gathering of fabric on the silhouette that came into what looked like a vortex waiting to eat someone. Although it didn’t get my vote, I’m sure there are several brides that will love it.
Vera Wang Wedding Gown - 2010 Spring Collection
My favorite for this 2010 Vera Wang collection of gowns was a strapless white gown with a bodice that, at the top, is a silvery beaded pattern, which softly tapers to the waist and wraps around the back, tied in a bow. Then the silhouette flows out in layers of lace; it looked like a gown that a princess would be proud to wear.
All in all it was a daring display of wedding gowns for 2010, where Wang had stated that, though the price of her dresses was lower, she didn’t want to skimp on style. If you were looking for traditional this year, you didn’t get it. But you certainly did get style in abundance.

Hey,
A Vera Wang wedding dress for anywhere near $3000 is going to be a great buy. Ive seen many of her pieces for prices in excess of $5k…
Thank you for the great information on the Vera Wang line of wedding dresses for the upcoming year. I am sure a lot of brides to be will appreciate the information you posted here on your site. Keep up the great job.

These gowns are sensational, though certainly not cheap they will still have future Brides saving on a regular basis in order to wear one of these wonderful gowns on their Wedding Day.

Like Dave mentioned, they arent cheap but I dont think thats so important. Couples are normally willing to pay much more for a wedding dress due to the fact that it’s a “once in a lifetime” event and they want it to be special.

Once in a lifetime? Not since half of all marriages fail LOL Gowns are okay I guess
The wedding dress is definitely one of the biggest expenses of a wedding, but unlike most of the other expenses, the dress is something you can bring home and keep forever.

love the first one..i had a client which has the same look like this one..awesome…
My sister inlaw wore Vera Wang gown at her wedding. It was absolutely jaw-dropping. If you want to make a fashion statement, go for a Vera Wang.
I can not recommend Vera Wang enough. I knew little about the designer until my wife started to hunt around for that dream dress. If she is happy I am happy so the story ended there. It was a definite buy and she has cherished it ever since. What a designer.
The wedding dresses are all very beautiful. I would be happy to have my fiance wear almost any of Vera Wang’s new collection of gowns when we get married.
