Ivanka Trump selected celebrity wedding gown designer Vera Wang to create her fantasy wedding dress. After Ivanka shared her vision for her wedding dress with us—a Grace Kelly-inspired design—we asked Vera to share what it was like working with the bride-to-be and some details about the dress. Here's what she had to say:
Brides.com: Did Ivanka have a strong idea of the dress style she wanted from the beginning?
Vera Wang: She definitely had a feeling for a dignified gown without sacrificing youth or charm.
Ivanka's tall, were there certain styles you recommended for her figure?
She has a wonderful body and great carriage so we could have gone many different ways.
What was the process like working with her? Was the process different since she only had a three month engagement?
The process was made easier as Ivanka had a clear vision of her dress, however, it was difficult to get the lace work done.
Ivanka told us she was inspired by the classic Grace Kelly look as a starting point—what elements of Princess Grace's style was Ivanka drawn to? How did you update her vintage style for a modern bride?
The coverage at the neck, the graceful silhouette but with a new sheerness for which we are known, and multiple layers of hand made lace for dimension.
