Ready to tie the knot? Waiting for the Big Day? Well, wedding bells sound much better when you’re wearing a fantastic, and what is more important, a fashionable wedding dress. Here are a few key looks from designers.
According to designers, Fall 2008 wedding dress trends are leaning towards Parisian-inspired looks, most notably the classic black wedding dress that is becoming a popular choice in Europe. As for the States, there are also hints of Marie Antoinette-inspired gowns, larger-than-life ruffles, and blue and metallic creations that offer a fresh take on the classic white wedding.
All-black wedding dress
This is the perfect choice wedding dress style for the bride who wants to try something different. So far, it’s really popular in Europe and it’s possible American brides might love the idea too. One of the designers to stick to black wedding dresses is Max Chaoul.
Black sashes and belts
Instead of traditional all-white wedding gown, Fall 2008 collections bring together black sashes and belts around the waist. Such fashion designers like Alfred Angelo add this modern and sophisticated touch to the traditional dress, even if only on the runway.
Blue and silver metallic dresses
Reem Acra’s collection for Fall 2008 features a whole lineup of pastel-blue colored dresses accented with silver and metallic threads. The fairytale-like gowns are the epitome of luxury with their rich satin, lace, and chiffon accents and mermaid-style cuts.
Toga-style dresses
The toga dress is a top trend for women’s dresses in 2008, and it’s also showing up in the bridal department. The toga dress is designed with a unique, flowing cut that is less fitted around the waist and hips. The Grecian-inspired look is a romantic touch for any wedding, and designers such as Wtoo Brides and Demetrios featured this goddess look in the Fall 2008 wedding gown collections.
Crystal brocades
Brocade embellishments are always a popular choice for wedding dresses, and the Fall 2008 collections featured many dresses with crystal and silver embellishments on the simple white dress. Piccione’s collection made the most of this trend with beautiful bustier and train detailing.
Jewel toned wedding dresses
Jewel tones are back for Fall 2008 in vibrant red, green, and even yellow colors. Jewel toned wedding dresses offer a luxurious touch to any wedding, and are a bold, modern twist on the traditional white lace or chiffon gowns.
So it’s obvious there are plenty of ways to update your Fall 2008 wedding with the latest styles. Add a new touch of Parisian, Greek, or modern romance to your outfit and become the most stylish bride of the year.
