In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Vera Wang has teamed up with French patisserie Ladurée to create a dreamy assortment of all-white, wedding-ready sweets. Vera Wang Pour Ladurée marks one of the only designer-dessert partnerships to come along, and includes a coconut crème chantilly macaron along with a mango and coconut wedding cake.

The confections are inspired by a Vera Wang bridal dress design and pay tribute to her lifelong connection to Paris, Ladurée’s home base.

“Among my most memorable and enchanting experiences in Paris has always been Ladurée, whether it was tea sandwiches, shopping with my mother, or taking my daughters for lunch in St Germain, Ladurée has always been a part of my Parisian experience,” Wang said. “I was thrilled to be able to collaborate with [Elisabeth Holder, Heir & President of Ladurée US] on designing a bespoke wedding cake inspired by one of my gowns.”
