Fab 5: Spring '08 Runway Looks

The designers hit the runways last month with their latest offerings for Spring 2008. Here are my personal favorites from five top wedding dress designers.

1. Reem Acra: Flowing beauty
   
   A band of ribbon and a sprig of florals separate the detailed bodice and the wonderfully flowy skirt.
   
   
2. Oscar de la Renta: Elegant lace
   
   This incredibly detailed, embroidered gown screams elegance, but the shorter front allows a peek at the legs, adding a flirty flair.
   
   
3. Monique Lhuillier: Hollywood glam
   
   I love this halter wedding dress for its high shine and classic style. Timeless but totally glamorous!
   
   
4. Elizabeth Fillmore: Grecian goddess
   
   All of the dresses from this line remind me of the Grecian goddess look, but none more so than this one.
   
   
5. Carolina Herrera: Princess perfect
   
   If your heart desires the big poufy ball gown and lots of style, you'd be a perfect fit for this Cinderella-worthy wedding gown.

Can't afford a gown by a big-name designer? Don't worry, you're like most of us. But these top designers should influence the looks you'll see in more modestly priced lines. So pay attention to what you like, and look for it in wedding gowns when you're dress shopping.

And I promise to do a future Fab 5 on some more budget-friendly styles.
