Vera Wang is always the go-to name for wedding gowns, but it seems like the prolific designer has been more popular than ever recently!

Wang designed Ivanka Trump's Grace Kelly-inspired wedding gown, according to People Magazine. The long lace dress featured elbow-length sleeves and a fitted waist. The source also suggests Wang is slated to create a dress for Victoria Beckham's sister Louise.

The magazine reports that Wang outfits over 10,000 brides each year, including country singer Sarah Evans, who wore a Wang dress to wed football player Jay Barker earlier this year, and model Brooklyn Decker who donned a fitted Wang gown to marry tennis player Andy Roddick last April.

Surprisingly, Wang didn't necessarily intend to be known for her wedding dresses. "I thought of myself not as a bridal designer but a fashion designer who happens to do white, ivory, nude," she told New York Magazine.

Wang has expanded her empire to include everything from home goods like flatware, cake stands and vases (perhaps to tempt brides-to-be as they make their bridal registry list wish,) to perfumes and more accessibly-priced clothing lines.
