The dress shape was inspired by â90s supermodels and she explained that her stylist Jason Bolden traveled with her to the Vera Wang store in New York City. There, she tried on multiple dresses. But, in the end, she landed on the first one she put on.
âI put it on, and I was like âItâs perfect. Itâs easy, itâs simple, and itâs chic,â she said. âIt was exactly what I wanted, but we obviously had to spruce it up a little and add some extra love to it so that it was special, just for me. I wanted it to look like I was floating and loved the cape and veil combo.â
âWhen I saw the cape, I thought I might as well try that on as well,â she added. âI love the whole ethereal bohemian vibeâthat will always be a part of me, but I didnât want it to be the main thing.â

Hudgens actually paid a visit to the Los Angeles flagship store and, according to the brand, âfell in loveâ with the garment.
"It is an immense honor and joy to see Vanessa Hudgens choose one of our designs for such a significant moment in her life!â Sharon Sever, Galia Lahavâs head designer, tells PEOPLE. âThe dress she chose was such a perfect choice for her beachy welcome party!"
A month before her wedding dress reveal, the High School Musical alum got into the bridal spirit a little early in honor of Halloween. She and a group of friends celebrated the spooky season in October with a fun "theme night," dressing up and posing for pics together inside an elevator.

In the photos posted on Instagram, Hudgens wore a lacy white wedding gown, accessorized with a star headpiece and a sheer veil and gloves, while the other women donned vampy black looks and funeral veils.
"Love a theme night. Can you guess what it was?" she wrote in the caption.
In a separate post, Hudgens shared three solo pics of herself that better showcased her veil, which was embroidered with the phrase "VHâ„ïžCT," presumably for "Vanessa Hudgens loves Cole Tucker."
Hudgens and Tucker, who first sparked dating rumors in November 2020, announced their engagement in February. The pair met while participating in a group meditation on Zoom.
"I get on the Zoom, and I'm like, 'Who is that?' I found him, and we started talking,'" Hudgens recalled during a May 2021 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, joking that she's not shy about going after what she wants.
"If I want something or someone, I'm going after them. I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, 'Hey, it was nice to meet you,' " she said of 27-year-old Tucker, who plays in the minor league for the Albuquerque Isotopes. "So I think there is no shame in making the first move."
