If you want your career in fashion design to indulge your romantic side, it is worth including wedding dress design in your studies at fashion design school. Wedding dress design is big business.

But whose career in fashion design is destined to include Paris Hilton's wedding dress?

Paris Hilton wants a fairy tale wedding - or even two! While even she may not get a wish to be married in St Paul's Cathedral, Paris's assured sense of style and high profile is sure to garner her the wedding dress of her dreams. But who might be on Paris' wish list of fashion designers?

  • Christian Dior - Donald Trump's bride Melania Knauss chose Dior for her lavish gown, which took 1000 hours to make and four people to carry! Surely Paris will not allow herself to be upstaged by Melania for long. Melania then changed into a Vera Wang so she could fit behind the table to eat her wedding dinner, so both of these fashion designers could be contenders.
  • Vera Wang. While Vera Wang never attended fashion design school, her stunning designs speak for themselves. Wang has designed wedding gowns for Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez and Tiger Woods' wife Eline Nordegren.
  • Sanjana Jon. Could be an unexpected contender. Paris has worn Sanjana's ethnic dresses before, and the talented Indian fashion designer is soon to launch a wedding line.

Do You Need Fashion Design School to Become a Wedding Dress Designer?

Just as many women have their heart set on a fairytale wedding, many people who want a career in fashion design have their heart set designing the dresses. While Vera Wang did not attend fashion design school, she did work for seventeen years at Vogue. Most of us who desire a fashion design career know that fashion design school is the best way to get to design wedding dresses. It also helps if you have a vision of clothing a fairy tale princess. After all, it's not only Paris Hilton who deserves the perfect wedding day.
