Wedding Wedding on the wall.....

I find it quite interesting that Dubai has its wedding exhibition in April. Many Emarati brides choose to get hitched in November and December, hence planning in April makes sense, but what about the Spring brides? Spring in Dubai is from March to May (also locally known as summer!)
For those brides, planning should definitely begin as soon as September, and unfortunately there are no events that can help a bride during that quarter. She must rely on friends, parents, wedding planners and well, herself!

Planning for the event is quite overwhelming, even more so shopping for the wedding dress. Since the Royal wedding in 2011, the Duchess of Cambridge has laced us with love! Her Royal gown has changed the way future brides dream about their wedding dresses!! The bridal cat walks have never looked so romantic!

However, something in the bridal fashion world is slowly happening. A shift perhaps. A shift that will forever change the way a bride walks down the aisle. A shift that redefines the meaning of a bride. And this shift is caused by none other than the wedding guru designer-- Vera Wang.
The bride in black....
I cant wrap my head around it...the pure meaning of a bride has completely changed. I'm pretty sure Queen Victoria rolled in her grave the moment Vera Wang unleashed her collection this season. Is it modern? Are we reinventing the white bride? Or is it the way it was always meant to be? In the 18th century, the bride wore whatever color she chose, and most wore black...It was not until Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in 1840 did this "white" bride become a tradition.
Im not quite certain how romantic this bride can be, but one thing for sure....it's a stunning dress....now the question; is it wedding bride worthy?
