Recession-Proof Wedding with Vera Wang!

So it is obvious that in this day and age – people are saving money.  Hell, I am taking back bottles (I live in MI, so its 10 cents a can … beat that!) just so I can scrimp and save my own money.  So really, when it comes to weddings or more importantly, wedding dresses, people are tightening up the purse strings and closing their wallets.  The average budget for a wedding dress has shrunk down between this year and last year thousands of dollars – and Vera Wang has jumped into action.

On April 8th, Vera Wang showed us a brand new side of her and I have to say – I do not think that it is a pretty side.  These dresses, which range anywhere from thirty-eight thousand to five thousand are filled with mixed and matched fabrics.  Fabrics like silk, asymmetrically draped tulle, mismatched bows and flowers and they are all in the shape of a ball gown.

Vera admits herself that they look like they were tossed into a washing machine – but claims they are very youthful and totally organic.  Honestly?  I think they look like crap, but hey … I don’t design wedding dresses for a living, I just get to bitch about them.  Cheer folks!
