Every bride wants a wedding gown the makes heads turn and hearts pound. There are so many fabulous designers out there, each with their own personal stamp on the gowns they produce. Here are some great bridal trends from some top designers for 2008.

1. keyhole necklines and spaghetti straps – this is a great place to play with colour 2. flirty sheer fabrics and exquisite beading – these types of gowns fit in with the retro look: flapper-style dresses and geometric draping 3. divine details, prints and sheer overlays – elegant and lush gowns with off-centered bows and asymmetrical lines help these trends really shine 4. scalloped hems and two-tone sweetheart necklines – think girlish couture with a dash of sporty chic mixed in 5. chiffon, draping, ruffles and ruching – a definite focus on femininity with beautiful tulle creations 6. deep v-necks and modified sweethearts – slimming style with soft movement 7. off-the-shoulders, short bubble hems and delicate satin belts – these details can run the gamut: fresh silhouettes to billowy ball gowns 8. belted gowns, ruffled skirts and risqué bustiers – go for over-thetop looks here: bold accessories and striking silhouettes.

Look for the one element your bridal gown must have – whether it’s a Bridal Fantasy Show deep v-neck or exquisite beading – and use thatCalgary to help focus your search for the perfect wedding dress.

Perfect Pics!

Yarrow Elfshimmer Posted 05.15.2009 Get the shots you want on your big day!

By a landslide, photography is the #1 option when it comes to capturing memories from the biggest day of your life. Before the wedding, it’s important to meet with your photographer so that you can give them direction as to what shots you definitely want. Maybe you want to ensure you have a candid shot of you and your grandma or one with your bridesmaids at your favourite hang out. Whatever your desires, it’s a good idea to communicate them with the photographer you’ve entrusted to shoot your wedding. Start by making a list of the shots you’d like. 3 categories to consider include places (at your favourite park), persons (a group shot of all of the kids) and moments (the first time the groom sees his bride). Make your list and then ask your photographer for any suggestions that they have. Also, check out the internet for websites that list photo opps that you may not have thought about. Finally, your photographer will likely have a list of shots that they recommend.

If you’re still looking for that perfect wedding photographer, don’t wait too much longer as the photographer you want could book up. It’s best to book your wedding photographer at least 6 to 8 months in advance. If you want a particular photographer for a specific date, book them 9 to 10 months in advance.

Inspired Colour Styles Columbine Goblinfilter Posted 04.03.2009

This season the biggest wedding trends come together with an unexpected stroke of colour. For every bride you’ve truly found a means of self-expression.

In contrast to the softer more subtle shades of last year, the forthcoming trends for 2009 will be far more exotic, brightly coloured and - believe it or not - almost luminous!

Engaged couples are going for the big tropical colour schemes focusing on blue, yellow & orange shades.

So, whether you are having a tantalizingly tropical event, an ocean blue occasion or an outstanding orange event, anyone who’s anyone in 2009 will definitely be hosting a bright, bold, beautiful and full-of-colour wedding!

Check out the great colour options at Derks…where you’ll find your wedding style.
