Designer Spotlight: Claire Pettibone

Claire Pettibone’s gorgeous bridal gowns are whimsical pieces of poetry.  She captures the pure essence of feminity with softer hues of champagne and antique lace with designs that accentuate and illuminate a bride’s natural glow. Pettibone used influences of antique fabrics and vintage fashion to create an original look for the stylish bride looking for something a little more unique.  Below are some of our favorite Claire Pettibone gowns that are part of her 2011 Fall and Spring Collections as well as her Continued Collection which is available year round.
