New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is coming to an end after a week packed with gorgeous designs for Fall 2008. I dream of the day I’ll get to attend such inspirational shows, but until then I’m quite happy to pour over the amazing images and descriptions from Style.com and my favorite fashion blogs. Since fall 08 seems like an awfully long way off, and at the moment I am seriously craving some sunshine and spring time, I looked back at the big trends that Style.com reported from the Spring 2008 collections and saw a few that directly relate to wedding and bridal party fashion. I can’t wait to see how these striking looks are incorporated into wedding styles this spring and summer by all the creative brides out there! Which one is your favorite?
