Now that it’s apparent that the color of wedding dresses is drastically changing, what about the actual style of the dress? Vera Wang’s line features endless empire shaped dresses that compliment the shapes of the models. The empire dress is the solution for every body type. Mechanically, the dress is tight at the top, enhancing the bust, with the waistline under the chest. The rest of the dress simply flows elegantly to the ground. This is perfect for body types where you want to hide thighs or other curves. This dress is also popular because women who have a lack of curves can create the illusion that they actually have them with the flowing fabric.

Personally, my favorite part of the dress is its flexibility when it comes to fashion. Sadly, a place where every woman can buy a Vera Wang dress does not exist, and we have to face reality. The reality of the empire dress is that you can make it as simple or complex as you want. Empire dresses can be purchased from almost any local bridal store, and  you can easily add a sash or ribbon to the waste line of the dress, which is very popular in the fall 2008 season. This Ivory Sheer Edge Garbo Ribbon is the perfect touch that will enhance the beautiful asthetics of the dress. Also, celebrities have been using jewels and crystals to accent their empire waste dresses to add more pizzazz.

Another hot trend that is currently sweeping the fashion world is what’s classified as a “crumb-catcher” dress. Don’t let the casual name fool you; these breathtaking gowns add a little more spunk to the traditional wedding dress. The synched or pleated fabric on the bust can be a silk, satin, or any other creme colored material.  The good news is, the spring 2008 floral fashion is still in style, so feel free to carry your flower sashes and belts over into your fall closet.  Whichever style you chose for your big day, feel free to add accessories to your dress, the sky is the limit. The more personal your dress is, and the more comfortable you feel in it, the more memorable the day will be.
