Claire Pettibone is well known for her frilly frocks, lacy bridal gowns, and luxury lingerie, making her pieces perfect for feminine, flirty brides. Pettibone looks at a rather unusual source of inspiration for her 2009 bridal collection: wedding cakes. This season you can expect a lot of beaded floral appliques, ribbon-tie straps, delicate embroidery, and wedding gown styles that will make any blushing bride look sweet and sexy. One of my favorites is Jean, an elaborate sweep-train wedding gown with silver, gold, and ivory embroidery lined with pearl silk. I love how the deco-beaded insets gives the bride an old-fashioned glam look that’s perfect for formal evening weddings. Mind you, this is just a sneak peak of Pettibone’s new bridal pieces. The dresses from her Spring 2009 collection are fresh off the runway and are not yet available in stores!
