“There’s a real creative process that goes into it. And I think I’m a fashion designer who designs wedding gowns, as opposed to a bridal designer. I came in [to the bridal industry] with no knowledge — I had knowledge of fashion and no knowledge of bridal per se, so I think I brought a sense of freedom and rule-breaking without even knowing it. And it was sort of instinctive, it was whatever I felt and what I thought girls should want to wear or be available to them if they wanted to. It was that freedom and that fashion edge that really changed the industry”.

However, not everyone knows that Vera Wang wedding dress price can be rather affordable. Starting from 2011, the designer also releases affordable wedding dresses for $600-1400, which are for sale at David’s Bridal store.
