David's Bridal

Chrissy Teigen has revealed that she has finalized the details of her upcoming wedding to John Legend, 34, including the dress!! The 27-year-old model told Showbiz Tonight that she chose her ‘soft and gorgeous’ Vera Wang gown after her superstitious fiance accidentally glimpsed at her first choice gown!  The couples has been very indecisive about their nuptials, but told guests they’d have to “trek somewhere” to get to the location! We are excited to see where the couple will have their wedding!

White by Vera Wang  Ombre Tulle Ball Gown: A Dream Marriage Proposal

By Sarah Pease

For the bride who chooses a blush-colored gown, only a truly unique marriage proposal idea will do.  Inspired by the gorgeous waves in this airy gown, this proposal begins deep in the Napa Valley.

The California sky is still dark, but the birds are chirping around your resort cottage when there’s a knock at the door.  You open the door to the hotel butler who presents you with two mimosas and a single envelope.  You thank the butler and hand the note to your girlfriend.  She reads the note aloud “You’re cordially invited to a sunrise hot air balloon ride this morning.” The butler serves you the drinks and informs you that the car will pick you up at 6am.  You hurry to get ready, bundling up for the still-chilly Napa morning.  The car takes you to an empty field, as you approach you can see the balloon inflating – an impressive multi-colored sphere against the still-darkened sky.

As a sliver of sun crests the horizon, you both step into the basket and before you know it, you’re soaring above the rolling hills of Napa and Sonoma.  The sound of the wind and the occasional burst of gas into the balloon make you feel like you’re flying!  The pilot dips down to get a glimpse of the vineyards below and you grab her hand to steady each other.  As the sun rises in the sky, the temperature warms and the clouds take on a certain blush tone – soft and soothing around you.  The pilot begins the first descent to the landing area, a gorgeous field of lavender next to one of the most esteemed wineries of the region.  Just as you’re about to touch down, a giant sign is revealed across the field that says “Will You Marry Me?”  You land and immediately drop to one knee, pulling out the beautiful ring that you’ve selected.  She says yes!  You continue the fun and excitement of the day with a private wine tasting, tour of the adjoining vineyard and cap things off with a relaxed bike ride back to your resort.  The perfect end to the night is a table for two at Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry where you’ll toast to many more sunrises together!

Hey DB Readers! Happy Wedding Wednesday! It was recently announced that John Legend and his exotic beauty Chrissy Teigen are officially tying the knot! After being engaged for 11 months, the two plan to wed in North Carolina this coming January! AND even bigger news… Chrissy is going to wear a gown designed by the one and only VERA WANG! Stayed tuned for details… I wonder what the super model will choose to wear on her big day!

Hello again DB Bloggers! We know you love one of our most coveted designers, Vera Wang, so when we saw this article on her day to day life we knew we had to post! Every month, Harper’s Bazaar gives us a peek inside the day-to-day life of a big designer and for November, they’ve given us fashion mogul Vera Wang.

One thing we’ve learned from reading about designers recount an average day, from waking up, to going to sleep, is that they have some pretty eccentric daily habits.  Vera Wang has an entire pantry containing only orange food, practically lives in her van and once almost got shot by Hillary Clinton’s bodyguards. And that’s not all. Read the article here for Wang’s quirks!

Hey DB Bridal Bloggers! Happy Monday Monday! Today wraps up the last day of Bridal Week in New York City, and there were some absolutely gorgeous new gowns! For Fall 2013, designers like Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Amsale and Claire Pettibon are bringing you new trends from illusion necklines, sleeves and lace overlays.  You can definitely expect to see non traditional colors other than white, from blush to champagne! Huffington Post compiled all of the fabulous new trends into a slideshow, which you can view here!

Hello again DB Brides! We are so excited about Wedding Wednesday that we wanted to blog again about our favorite passion… all things Bridal! Well if you haven’t heard already, the two time gold medalist Michelle Kwan is engaged to her soul mate Clay Pell! The two fell in love after first meeting in April of 2011, and Pell recently proposed on Block Island off the coast of Rhode Island while the couple was vacationing for Labor Day weekend.  We haven’t heard what kind of dress Michelle wants to wear, but rumor has it she wants it to be a Vera Wang! Read the entire article here for all the details!

Yesterday was a big day for fashion editors near and far, as Vera Wang showed off her Fall 2012 collection over High Tea.  Womens Wear Daily was the first to report on her bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses designed especially for David’s Bridal!  Other highlights include Vera’s passion to inspire young designers and admiration for those in the fashion industry.
