USA, Spring 2007 bridal collection
Flip flops: Abercrombie & Fitch

American designer Vera Wang founded her bridal wear company in 1990. She offered women ready-made and custom-made dresses that fused tradition with contemporary fashion. New Yorker Katie Turner's trained gown is unmistakably a wedding dress, but the applied silk flowers and delicate weave decoration on the bodice reflect the fashions for 2007.
