Real Weddings Dazzling Dresses: Hillary Scott in Custom Vera Wang!
Hillary Scott of popular country group Lady Antebellum got herself hitched! She and now husband Chris Tyrrell tied the knot in upstate New York last Saturday and bride looked stunning in a custom gown by designer Vera Wang.
“Hillary was joyous, over the moon,” Wang told PEOPLE magazine. “And [she was] actually very enchanted with the thought of a hand-pieced, hand-engineered lace mermaid wedding gown.”
The strapless dress featured all-over lace underlay, a layered tulle skirt with horsehair banding and a hand-cut corded lace applique with hand-applied crystal-and-pearl beading.
“While the dress was very tailored, the lace work was extremely feminine,” Wang explains.
Scott finished her look with an embroidered, cathedral-length mantilla veil with hand-cut Chantilly lace applique.
“[She was] a contemporary vision of a traditional bride,” Wang says proudly.

Real Weddings Dazzling Dresses: For Weddings, and a Funeral?
Vera Wang debuted a new collection of wedding gowns last Sunday at New York’s bridal fashion week…and the style world’s all abuzz. Why you ask? The goddess of gorgeous wedding gowns shook things up with a runway full of black…yes, black, wedding dresses.
In fact there was nary a white one in sight. The palest shade, a nude color, provided a bit of contrast, but that’s where it stopped. Black, black and more black. All of Vera’s elegant styling and amazing fabrics were on full display, a spectacular assortment of deconstructed chiffon, silk, tulle and organza…but it was her solemn color palate that really has people talking.
Is Vera foreshadowing a new trend a la Tim Burton that only Helena Bonham Carter would be brave enough to don, or is she simply having fun with the genre in time for Halloween. This show certainly piqued my interest, and my verdict’s still out.
You decide. Check out the runway looks here!
