Every bride-to-be dreams of her own fairytale princess moment and, of course, the perfect wedding dress. Vera Wang, iconic fashion designer and fairy godmother to the world’s A-list, shares her magic and opens her first Vera Wang Bride boutique in Manila.
Now, brides-to-be don’t have to fly to Hong Kong to find their dream gown. Plus, alteration services are free!
The 170-sqm contemporary-designed boutique is located at 8 Rockwell, Rockwell Center, Makati. The store will also carry evening wear and accessories.

Speaking of Bride Wars, which one do you like better, Ivanka Trump’s Grace Kelly-inspired ‘Esther’ lace wedding dress (left) or Chelsea Clinton’s ‘Diana’ strapless, laser-cut organza gown (right)? Coincidentally, both wore Vera Wang on their wedding day!
