\"Walking<\/a>

(The back of Charlotte<\/em>, by Claire Pettibone.)<\/p><\/div>\n

I recently discovered the designs of Claire Pettibone<\/a>, and was immediately captivated by her beautiful wedding gowns and lingerie.\u00a0 Pettibone’s style is, at once, refreshing and refined, and her dresses are unlike any I’ve seen before.\u00a0 Each piece is reminiscent of an earlier time, and the gowns are stunning in a quiet way.\u00a0 The attention to detail is superb, and <\/em>I’m particularly impressed by the delicate power of Pettibone’s designs, as well as her ability to create truly timeless wedding dresses.<\/p>\n

I was fortunate to enjoy a glimpse of Pettibone’s Spring 2014 collection, entitled Decoupage,\u00a0<\/em>which references the layering of fabrics and textures to create unique bridal pieces.\u00a0 I’ve chosen to share my three favorite gowns, and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.<\/p>\n
