Vera Wang created Victoria Beckham’s wedding dress for her 1999 marriage to David Beckham.
Beckham wore a champagne-colored Vera Wang gown at the couple’s wedding at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland on July 4, 1999. The dress had a structured corset and a full skirt, giving the bridal look a formal late-1990s silhouette.
The choice connected Beckham with Vera Wang, whose bridal designs were becoming especially influential among celebrity clients. Wang had previously worked as a fashion editor and design director before launching her own bridal label in 1990.
The gown is sometimes remembered as white because white bridal imagery is more common in photographs and summaries. Its distinctive color was champagne. Beckham later wore a purple reception dress, but that outfit was separate from the main Vera Wang wedding gown.
