Floral designs and lace patterns were some of the hottest trends once again this season for bridal and Claire Pettibone’s 2017 collection was no different.
Bringing lace detailing and floral designs together in narrow silhouettes, Claire Pettibone has something for all brides.
Simplicity is at the forefront of her designs, with traditional lace overlays and sensual, plunging necklines a popular design feature. We love this gown with subtle floral patterns in the lace.
For a boho bride, Claire Pettibone created this stunning dress in keeping with the theme of her collection, but creating something unique. The statement patterned overlay is bolder and stronger than lace and the thin straps give way to a delicate neckline.
She also didn’t shy away from lace sleeves and higher necklines. This gown is traditional with delicate Chantilly lace with long sleeves and a detailed lace overlay.
For brides still looking for that stand-out lace but aren’t necessarily looking for long sleeves, this lace detailed gown with a gorgeous lace cape to go with it will be your perfect choice. More and more brides are opting for boleros and capes and this one is beautiful.
For a bit of colour, this dress has a thin gold sash to give it a simple and subtle detail that makes the dress pop and cinches at the bride’s waist giving her an elegant figure.
One of our favourite dresses from Claire Pettibone’s latest collection is this stunning mermaid gown with vibrant flowers at the hemline. The straps at the top are beautifully adorned with rose-like designs and the brightly coloured flowers at the bottom of the dress to really make this dress stand out.
