You will never imagine my surprise when Vera Wang recently debuted her Fall 2012 Bridal Collection at New York’s Bridal Fashion Week and 9 of the gowns were BLACK.  Yep, you read correctly – black!  Seems Ms. Vera has yielded unto her dark side with a fascinating collection of her signature tulle, silk, organza and chiffon dresses in shades of jet black, nude and caramel.  Is it possible that the traditional innocence of ivory wedding gowns is being put to rest by its sinister sister?  She’s definitely just as beautiful and elegant but also mysterious.  Take a look at some of the dresses from the collection and then tell us, would you wear a black dress on your wedding day?
