Get ready for some serious beauty. Claire Pettibone’s fall 2015 Couture Bridal Collection “Gothic Angel” is cause for procrastinating whatever it is you’re doing. Take a look at these gowns fresh off the runway – these photos were taken at NY Bridal Fashion week this month. I’ve included several angles with each design for you to drool over because they are just so detailed and sublime, which I suppose is no surprise since they are inspired by Gothic cathedrals such as Notre Dame, Westminster Abey, Milan and St. Patricks…here’s what Claire has to say about her new collection:
“The Gothic cathedral imparts a majesty and splendor designed to enlighten and inspire mankind. Glimpse heavenly skies through intricate stained glass windows, while silver and gilded gold impart opulence beyond our dreams. Ornate facades, and intricate beaded glass and carvings are interpreted into French lace and silk embroidery.The iconic angel comes to life, not on the feathered wings of an imagined future, but here and now, as powerful and beautiful woman welcoming us to Heaven on Earth.”
