Kim Kardashian has confirmed Vera Wang will design her wedding dress.

The reality TV star - who will marry fiance Kris Humphries later this month - has revealed close family friend Vera, 62, was her first choice to create the "dream" gown.

Kim wrote on her blog: "I am so excited to reveal that Vera Wang is my wedding dress designer. Vera has been a close family friend for a long time and we had talked about this moment for years, so when it came to picking my wedding dress designer she was the first person I thought of. No one designs gowns the way she does!

"I know that Vera can make my dream come true and create the most perfect gown for my special day."

Kim's sister Khloe - who married basketball star Lamar Odom in 2009 in a custom made Vera Wang gown - has previously revealed her hopes that Kim would choose the same designer.

She said: "Just because I love her, and I feel like when you think of wedding, you think of Vera Wang. I think it would be a perfect fit."
