The Knot Top 50 Wedding Dresses for Autumn 2008
One of the best resources for a bride, The Knot has offered it’s top 50 dresses of designers’ latest collections. Here are my top 10 favourites from their list.
The Knot is an American site, and I find it interesting that none of these dresses show the same Greco-Roman influences that have been so prevalent in the European designer collections.
Dresses chosen are by:
1. Carolina Herrera – I love the detail and unusual patterns in this dress.
2. Monique Lhuillier – I love the rich lace texture
3. Amsale – a simple strapless number with romantic flower motif
4. Anne Barge – an oh-so-sophisticated black and white number
5. Platinum for Priscilla of Boston – this sparkling dress takes assymetry to the max
6. Kirstie Kelly for Disney’s Fairytale Weddings – Disney’s wedding franchise has become a bit of a guilty pleasure for me recently. More on Disney weddings later!
7. Jim Hjelm – slight ruching, contrasting fabrics, and flower detail add interest to this beautiful dress from one of my favourite designers.
8. Christos – A classic ballgown
9. Vineyard Collection – if floaty is your thing, you will love this beaded halterneck gown.
10. Ines de Santo – another ballgown style dress with ribbon detail and flowers on the bodice.
