While other bridal designers focused on modernizing the traditional wedding dress this season, Vera Wang instead remains firmly rooted in the past. For her fall 2018 line, the designer photographed her latest collection in Paris’s Luxembourg Gardens; a nod to the line’s inspiration in 17th and 18th century fashion. There were structured bodices and exposed garter belts, skirts propped up by petticoats to create billowing ball gowns, and high necklines in French Chantilly lace that evoke the romance and drama of the era. In her new collection, Wang has designed dresses fit for a queen. And let’s be honest, what bride doesn’t want to feel that way on her wedding day?
