Best Wedding Dresses 2007

Finally. Here are my picks for the best of the best in wedding dresses for 2007. Tomorrow's installment will be the best of the best in bridesmaids dresses, shoes, and flower girl dresses.
Best Dress Designer: Rosa Clara
Her dresses were different to me from many of the other designers. Her dresses were stunning and showed a great deal of creativity. You would make a dramatic entrance in one of these dresses. [Rosa Clara update: She will now be selling her beautiful dresses here in the US. YEAH! See her ad in the Winter 2008 edition of InStyle Weddings]. Here are a few from her Spring 2008 collection
Best Choice for a Non-Traditional Wedding Dress: Abed Mahfouz
If you wanted something beautiful but did not want a traditional wedding dress, then Lebonese designer Abed Mahfouz was the answer. His dresses were drop dead gorgeous with the most amazing detail, cut, fabric, and styling. Here are some of his amazing designs:
Best Designer of Retro-Inspired Wedding Dresses: Stephanie James
No one was able to pull off retro and modern better than Stephanie James. She got it right. Her dresses seemed like each was straight out of the fifties but with a lovely modern twist. Her imagery on her web site was wonderful. Here are a few from her 2007 collection:
Best Short Wedding Dress: Monique Lhuillier
This was hands down the best short wedding dress of the season:
Best Place to Find Vintage Dresses: Vintage Wedding Dress Company. This company finds beautiful one-off dresses from eras as diverse as Victorian/20's/30's through to early 70's. Their selections are amazing. Here are some of my favorites:

The Strapless Satin CLASSIC A LINE Dress for Bridesmaid Formal Prom Wedding

Tea length formal satin tube dress. Satin trim waistline embellished with delicate satin bow. Boned bodice. Hidden zip back. Satin shawl and optional spaghetti straps included. Length of Small formal dress from underarm: 33″. 100% Polyester, 100% Acetate. Hand wash cold, hang dry. Made in USA.

Perfect for bridesmaids, graduation, prom, or other special occasions.

This dress is unbelievably gorgeous; I got the grape color and it’s a deep, dark purple, very rich (a bit darker than the picture on the web, but soooo beautiful…). The cut is ultra-flattering, and the material is a wonderful quality; a nice thick lustrous satin that feels sooooo good on the skin! :) Looks and feels WAY more expensive than it is.

Fit-wise, the skirt flares out just right without the need for a petticoat, and the top tucks in quite nicely along the top of the but. Whereas some strapless dresses are very loose and “swimmy” along the bustline, leading to that awful “when are my [...] gonna reach out and touch someone” feeling of insecurity, this dress follows the female shape perfectly!

I also have to rave about their fast shipping and friendly customer service. I first ordered a 3X, being a size 18, and following/guessing using their size charts provided here. The first dress arrived two days after I ordered it and unfortunately was VERY big (which in itself was kind of a cool ego-booster, really, heh!). So I called their customer service to get a replacement, and a very friendly and efficient rep helped me out in.
