Vera Wang opens what is now her biggest flagship store in Shanghai

Businessmen are leaving no stone unturned to cash in on the tremendous opportunities in high-end wedding service provision in China.

Vera Wang, the queen of bridal couture, opened her largest store in Shanghai on Jan 27.

Standing on a quiet corner of Xintiandi, one of the most popular fashion hubs in the city, the group's two-floor outlet is Wang's fourth global flagship store. With a total space of 850 square meters the store encompasses four spacious fitting rooms with one for VIPs only. This room is also equipped with an individual restroom.

"For sure, Vera is very confident about the Chinese market," said Jiang Yixiang, executive director of Vera Wang China, at a media preview of the store for China Daily.

"We have carried out research and we see great potential in the high-end bridal couture market," he added.

An unpretentious building with a frosted glass facade, the store is intended to provide a "private, salon-like" space for brides-to-be in China. The collection on show and available for fitting at the store will be the world's largest.

Wang, an American-born Chinese former figure skater who has dressed Victoria Beckham, Mariah Carey and a galaxy of Hollywood celebrities and scions of business tycoons and politicians for their big day, is expected to come to Shanghai, her parents' hometown, in March for the grand opening of the store. More tailor-made gowns made by Vera Wang herself and her designing team will be offered exclusively at the Shanghai store, according to Jiang. Naturally, they will fetch a higher price.

The cost of a wedding dress will range from 30,000 yuan ($4,815) to 300,000 yuan. Most will be priced between 100,000 yuan to 200,000.

For clients who are interested in trying on wedding dresses in the Shanghai store, a 3,000 yuan non-refundable deposit will be requested, allowing potential customers to try dresses for one-and-a-half hours. The number of dresses tried is not limited but, according to the salesperson at the store, it usually takes three to four dresses for a bride-to-be to meet "the one". If clients confirm an order, the deposit will be deducted from the final price.

The booming demand for luxury goods is also providing opportunities for associated suppliers in China. Traditionally in China a bride will receive gifts from a bridegroom before their wedding. It is considered to be an expression of love for the bride-to-be. Usually the gifts will be gold items such as a ring or a necklace. However, after 2000, a diamond is now a necessity.

The Carat Club, with more than 50 years of diamond trading experience in Malaysia, moved its base entirely to Shanghai in 2011 to better meet market demand. The most attractive products offered in the store are diamonds of more than three carats.

Chan Boon Yong, the chief executive officer of The Carat Club, revealed the most expensive diamond sold in the store in the last two years cost millions of yuan.

"The demand for large and quality diamonds is increasing in China. We have noticed that many people are looking for diamonds of more than two carats," said Yong. "As Chinese people are getting wealthier, they want to own something special."

Yong said Chinese people are getting more educated about diamonds and many rich people are considering collecting diamonds as an alternative investment in China.

Foreign wedding planning companies have also been targeting the growing Chinese market in recent years. Take and Give Needs Co, a Japan-listed high-end wedding service company, was reported by Nikkei Business Daily to be targeting young rich Chinese a few years ago. It can handle more than 50 orders a year and started to make a profit in 2012.

It was reported that for a high-end wedding ceremony attended by 1,000 guests the cost might be as high as 700,000 yuan, much higher than the market average.
