The Bride Wars is a romantic comedy about two best friends who schedule their wedding on the same day. Starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, the movie is scheduled to hit theaters sometime early next year. I’m not the biggest fan of romantic comedies and I’m not sure I’ll be watching this, but I was looking at the promotional photos from the movie and their wedding dresses are gorgeous.

Out of curiosity I looked around the Internet to discover the designer behind the wedding dresses and surprisingly, there wasn’t a lot of publicity about them. I expected that someone would have designed wedding dresses exclusively for the movie, but maybe they didn’t have the budget to pay someone like Monique Lhuillier or Oscar de la Renta for it.

At the Weddingbee boards, I found a thread where people were speculating about who designed Anne Hathaway’s wedding gown. It turns out that Anne Hathaway’s off-shoulder mermaid-skirt wedding gown is from Vera Wang’s 2005 fall collection; one of the posters on the forums wore that very gown on her wedding day. According to her, the only custom addition to the Vera Wang wedding dress in the movie was the big bow on the back.
