Claire Pettibone
(The back of Charlotte, by Claire Pettibone.)
I recently discovered the designs of Claire Pettibone, and was immediately captivated by her beautiful wedding gowns and lingerie. Pettibone’s style is, at once, refreshing and refined, and her dresses are unlike any I’ve seen before. Each piece is reminiscent of an earlier time, and the gowns are stunning in a quiet way. The attention to detail is superb, and I’m particularly impressed by the delicate power of Pettibone’s designs, as well as her ability to create truly timeless wedding dresses.
I was fortunate to enjoy a glimpse of Pettibone’s Spring 2014 collection, entitled Decoupage, which references the layering of fabrics and textures to create unique bridal pieces. I’ve chosen to share my three favorite gowns, and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.

(Primrose features vintage French embroidery and velvet at the waist.)
(The back of Primrose features a detachable train of tulle.)
I’m literally head over heels in love with these beautiful designs by Claire Pettibone, and you can view her entire bridal collection at her site.

Ah, that first dress took my breath away! That is what I would choose if I were getting married now. Even on a blouse, those petals as buttons would be lovely. If only we were princesses and could wear dresses like this just for kicks.
All of her dresses are this stunning, and it was hard to pick just three to show. 🙂
Oh wow! These are amazing!
That first dress….wow. I love the lace overlay like that. Stunning!
Aren’t they amazing?
