Based on the 2008 Bridal Market Week trade show in New York in November, Nina Calloway (about.com) report the latest trends for wedding fashion:

1. the Pale-pink aka ‘blush’ wedding dress. A very wearable color, feminine and romantic.
2. the wedding gown with an emphasized waist, mostly brought about by beaded accents.
3. the wedding dress with loads of texture overtaking the prior all-over beaded patterns. Look for lace overlays, cut-out / appliqued accent flowers, etc.
These trends are confirmed by many others in the industry.

Let’s have a look around the world, and you can see the trends being clearly aligned with the European Spring and Fall bridal fashion for 2008. The Brides.com ‘s European trend report for 2008 includes:
1. 1920s elegance
2. Length extremes, with mini-fronts, and floor-sweeping trains
3. Rich on Flowers, either colored embroidered flowers at the center torso, or within the hair
4. 1950s a la Audrey Hepburn: simple lines, ballet-length skirts with accented, tight waists

For wedding dress design style photographs, there are several sites I’d recommend.
