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.

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.
