LA based designer, Claire Pettibone, strives to create dresses that embody a vintage, romantic feel while still maintaining their modern edge. Quality fabrics such as Chantilly lace and silk create flowing silhouettes that flatter every body type. A CP bride wants to be different and wants to walk down the aisle knowing that the gown she wears personifies her soul. 

I can honestly say I would wear every single one of these dresses (and many more on the Claire Pettibone website). Even alone one of these dresses can inspire an entire wedding, a great starting spot if you are in the beginning stages of planning. The gowns range from around $2,000-10,000 with most around the $3,000-4,500 range. 

If you live in San Francisco, visit Marina Morrison at 30 Maiden Lane to see these lovely designs in person.
