Spring 2008 Trends for Wedding Cakes and Food
Lighter fare is a natural choice for a spring or summer wedding, and this year turns towards fresh fruit and light sponge cakes in the wedding cake department. Look for coconut-based frostings and fillings, light milk chocolate, and sponge cakes filled with jam. Key theme colors for the cake are pink, white, pastel blue, and even lilac. Yellow will be more popular in the summer. The cascading cupcake tiers in lieu of a traditional wedding cake are still a top pick.

Tarts and light pastries are a great addition for the spring dessert menu, and the year's trends turn towards miniature desserts topped with fresh berries and bite-sized appetizers instead of large buffet-style meals. .

Spring 2008 Trends for Dresses
Light cotton and organza gowns are the best picks for spring, and the 50s inspired trends from Winter '07 will linger through the 2008. The year calls for classic silhouettes and romantic embellishments including lace, eyelets, and tiny beads. Bridesmaid dresses are taking on a conservative but playful twist with babydoll dresses, silk printed halter dresses, and volumized skirts. Finish off the light and princess-style looks with rhinestone-studded sandals.

The bride's dress will be embellished with lace, organza, and miniature beads. Volumized skirts to create a princess-style wedding dress are still strong this year, and a contemporary look involves a simple straight-cut gown with an extra-long train.

When it comes to choosing your wedding gown, your decision should be less about what's trendy and more about what works best for you. By trying on a variety of different styles, you can get a better idea about what is flattering for you and what is not. For a little input, take a trusted friend or family member shopping with you. Ultimately, the dress you select should make you look and feel your very best!
