The big trend in wedding dresses for 2008 is romance. Designers are going for a lot of texture. Tiered gowns are quite popular at the moment, with lots of pleats and ruffles. In the spirit of extravagance and romance, Marie Antoinette-inspired gowns are becoming popular, larger-than-life and many ruffles. Following in the trend, are the Parisian-inspired dresses. As we all associate France and Paris with love and romance.
Designers are also pushing for alternative styles and necklines such as the halter and the v-neck, but brides are continuing to favor the strapless gown, always the pinnacle of elegance and prestige.
Black is stepping up to be one of the new wedding colors. French designer Max Chaoul introduced the black wedding dress in his Fall 2008 collection. And Alfred Angelo has been adding black sashes and belts to his dresses for a more modern and sophisticated look.
Look out for these three looks this year.
The Sheath. A very romantic and elegant dress. It’s both sweet and intriguing. This dress generally has no waist, seemingly falling straight down from the shoulders. The layers of wispy fabric make for a feminine touch, but also great for the bohemian bride.
The Mini. This very chic and European dress is big trendsetter at Barcelona’s bridal week. This dress needs to perfect setting to work, like a casual garden wedding, an ultra-sophisticated city wedding or a quirky but romantic ceremony at an art gallery.
The Mermaid. This is both sexy and sophisticated. The flair on this type of dress needs to happen at just the right spot in order to flatter the bride’s body. A thin layer of chiffon is able to soften the cut right up.
Keep in mind that whatever dress you choose, make sure it represents YOU.
