The artistry of dressing lies in the balance of various elements.

And this collection is a star example of this principle.

What is clear: The texture and contours of various fabrics lie at the forefront of this collection. We are seeing lots of pleating, gathering, and bows, both in Vera Wang's bridal collection as well as her collection of bridesmaids looks.

Whether showcased through flowy gathering or structural pleated bodices, the star of the show is most definitely the fabric itself.

This collection walks the line between structure and flow with timeless elegance.

We've picked out some of our favorites from the bridal and bridesmaids collections that showcase the trending themes of this David's Bridal collab with Vera Wang.

The Vera Wang bridesmaid collection mirrors the bridal collection in its overarching themes.

Bow motives can be found directly in their literal form, like in the case of the Vera Wang satin and tulle bow bodice A-line dress, as well as subtly referenced, as we see with the Vera Wang charmeuse A-line dress with button bodice whose body evokes the bow shape indirectly. We also see the use of pleating, gathering, and tying. Here a balance is struck between structure and flow.
