Vogue Weddings: Brides, Dresses, Designers

Beautiful photographs, surprisingly entertaining text, pure fantasy for ordinary folk like me. I found it on Amazon at a great sale price and took a chance because many great photographers have worked for Vogue. It's not a wedding planning book; it's crammed full of gorgeous creations by well known fashion designers, worn by super models, celebrities, royalty. Some of the weddings photographed are real; some are flights of fancy created for the pages of Vogue. The text accompanies the large, mostly full color photographs, and I love the descriptions of "simple" weddings in a villa by the sea or a medieval church in the woods. Includes historical photos as well as more recent brides. Depending on the reader's point of view, it is very good----or very disappointing---that it was published preKim and Kanye but both Kates (Middleton and Moss) are included. I hope there will be an updated edition which will include equally glamorous and fanciful same sex weddings.

Really nice gift for bride to be. Makes a good coffee table book too

A Must have for every wedding and fashion photographer out there. This was recommended in several trade journals as a must have - I totally agree and enjoy just looking through this for inspiration. I love the old school looks and the high end looks. This book is a fabulous studio coffee table book for every client to look through while they are visiting your studio. It will give you several classy and unique ideas to inspire your clients..

Beautiful photographs and gorgeous parties. Very inspiring and lots of ideas for your events.

Vogue Gatherings Vogue Weddings, Brides, Dresses, Designers by Hamish Bowles, Vera Wang, and Chloe Malle contain an abundance of fascinating photographs featuring prestigious coverage representing the fashion world. Page 25 features wedding pictures of Prince William and Kate Middleton along with a photo of the late Princess Diana and Prince Charles at the top. Other various pictures included in this book; page 119 picture of Carolina Herrera in her parents’ New York City home, page 159 wedding picture of Tamara Yeardye and Matthew Mellon at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire England, page 319 of a painting titled Le Verrou (1778 painting) being portrayed by the celebrities Gisele Bundchen and Gerard Depardieu and many more photos included in the book Vogue Weddings, Brides, Dresess, Designers by Hamish Bowles, Vera Wang, and Chloe Malle.

The cover came in damaged right before I gifted it as an engagement party present so I'm super disappointed. However, even an imperfect cover doesn't take away from the fact that the book really sucks with diversity?? 99% of the book was straight, white and blonde, it was a BIG task and took a lot of energy to find any people of colour. The foreword was by Vera Wang for crying out loud but in my brief time with the book I could not find any asian models?? Like god forbid any non-cis, non-white, and non-straight were published. I really should have read the reviews and not ordered this so hastily--if you are reading this in 2023, save your money.

I bought this book to use as inspiration for my upcoming wedding - I love many of the storied Vogue photographers and their iconic bridal imagery. It's a large coffee table book with full-page printed photographs, and it was enjoyable to flip through to see fantasy weddings and bridal gowns in such a large scale. This book was published in 2012. It features over 350 pages of content, primarily photographs from approx 200+ real weddings of socialites, movie stars, models, etc. This book only contains 3 images of black brides - 1 of which was a vintage Vogue illustration on the first bleeder page, 1 was a model for a magazine spread, and 1 was a real wedding image that was on the final page after the index. There were no features of real LGBT brides, only one staged shoot for the magazine. The most diversity in this book was featuring some Spanish and South American weddings and one Moroccan bride. I'm not surprised that Vogue and the fashion industry are not diverse, but it is disappointing to say the least.

One of the two books came with a roughed up cover :(

Ottimo oggetto da collezione

王室、ミュージシャンやセレブなどの実際の結婚式写真と合わせて、 ヴォーグ誌のウェディングドレス写真が収録されています。 膨大な数の写真が掲載されています。 古いものでは1920年台なども。 ファッションの資料としては素晴らしいものですが、 間違っても「自分の結婚式の参考に」とかは考えない方が良さそうです。 本のサイズはA4よりは若干大きく、B4には高さが2～3cm足りない大きさです。 あと、とにかく重たいです。 測ってみたら2.8kgありました。

Este libro no es solo moda. Es historia, inspiración y mucho, mucho estilo. Cada página es una ventana al universo nupcial más icónico y sofisticado que puedas imaginar. Vestidos que marcaron época, novias inolvidables y ese toque editorial que solo Vogue sabe dar. Como fotógrafo, me ha servido para afinar el ojo, inspirarme en composiciones, estilismos y atmósferas. No es un manual técnico, es un álbum de referencias potentes y atemporales. Un café, el libro abierto, y ya estás soñando con la próxima boda como si fueras a retratar a la realeza. ✅ Pros: edición impecable, fotografías icónicas, toneladas de inspiración visual. ❌ Contras: si buscas contenido práctico o realista para novias actuales, esto va más por el lado editorial y glamouroso. 📌 Ideal para fotógrafos, diseñadores, estilistas o simplemente amantes de la estética nupcial con alma editorial.

The book has a lot of information about weddings throughout history as well as lots of great pictures. Beautiful,large coffee table book.

Auch wenn man sich nicht nur für Promi-Klatsch interessiert, ist dieses Buch ein echter Hingucker. Die Fotos auch aus älteren Jahren sind wirklich sehenswert. Manche Hochzeitsfotos sind zwar wirklich nicht mehr aktuell- vorallem was Mode angeht- aber Designerkleider sind eben ein Spiegel der Zeit und von daher höchst spannend und aufschlussreich.
