What Is Hot In The New 2008 Season

The gowns shown on runways this year offer a range of silhouettes, proportions, as well as extravagant and unusual fabrics. Designers are pushing wedding dresses with alternative styles and necklines, but brides still favor old loving the strapless gown. Tiered wedding gowns continue to be quite popular and are part of a bigger trend of textured gowns designed with pleats and ruffles for a more romantic look. Steel gray is replacing chocolate brown as the hottest accent color for 2008, and vintage style wedding dresses made with fabrics like chiffon and tulle are also expected to be quite popular. In fashion shows for spring of 2008, designers emphasized the waists of their dresses or accented them with wide belts.
