Her latest collection, ADORNED, debuted at the New York Bridal Market. About ADORNED, Claire says, “How do we adorn ourselves? With clothing, makeup, tattoos, jewelry…every culture, every individual, has different ways of expressing themselves through their personal choices. As I created this collection of wedding dresses, I played with concepts of adornment, incorporating elements of fine jewelry, ribbons, lace, and embroidery. How do our ideas and traditions relate to the modern bride? There is no single answer, just as there is no one ideal beauty. Truth lies in the cliché that beauty comes from within. The adornments we choose to wear simply bring our essence to light.”
With how intricately crafted and luxuriously made each of the newest styles that Claire Pettibone has recently put out, every bride who’s looking for a romantic and truly magical look will surely be able to find themselves in any of Claire’s stunning gowns on their wedding day.

AQUAMARINE is a strapless seed-pearl beaded gown with aqua, gold, and ivory embroidery and detachable long sleeves.
CRYSTAL is an iridescent sequined A-line gown with removable tulle sleeves.
SEVIGNE (pronounced sey-vee-nyey) is aptly named after a type of bow brooch that is popular in the 17th and 18th centuries which is named for a member of the French Court of Louis XIV, the Marquise de Sévigné. The gown has a strapless tiered French lace empire silhouette with crystal beaded waist and detachable sleeves.
