Eye Candy: Claire Pettibone

Julia Braime

.

As a I see hundreds, nay, thousands of wedding dresses.  Short ones, long ones, flouncy, ruffled, lace, satin, vintage, modern, coloured, plain, long sleeved, cap sleeved, strapless… you name it.  And yet, I was still absolutely blown away when I first clapped eyes on the exquisite work of Claire Pettibone, who more than deserves her place in the Brides Up North Eye Candy Hall of Fame.

.

If you are looking for a wedding gown that is just that little bit different, with tons of style, a little edge, a bit of drama and still super duper dreamy – Claire is your gal.  Every one of her dresses is unique and it tickles me that generally the back of her gowns are even better than the front for that added oooh (remember what most people will see as you say your vows ladies!). 

.

So prepare for some serious dress lust of a Sunday morning, as we start off with my favourite, Madame Butterfly
