Known for her ethereal gowns featuring exquisite embroideries and a painterly use of color, Claire Pettibone has unveiled The Rococo Collection, which brings an old-world sensibility to modern bridal design.
Photographed in The Claire Pettibone Bridal Suite at Beringer Vineyards' historic Rhine House in Napa Valley, California, the romantic gowns blend beautifully with the estate's stunning setting, highlighting ornate stained glass, hand-carved woodwork, and Victorian architecture.
Handmade in her dreamy Los Angeles atelier, The Castle, the beautiful new gowns presented during New York Luxury Bridal Fashion Week highlight flowing silks and delicate laces, French embroideries, floral appliqués, and jeweled embellishments inspired by the decorative spirit of the Rococo era.
“I've always been drawn to the beauty of things made with extraordinary care. The intricate details, the artistry of handwork, the romance of another era,” Claire Pettibone shares. "With Rococo, I wanted to celebrate that spirit of craftsmanship, creating gowns that feel as though they have a story to tell, and will one day become part of a bride's own history."
