Designer Bridal Dresses: Claire Pettibone

After Claire Pettibone obtained a degree in fashion design from Otis Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles, she and her husband Guy Toley started a company of luxurious fine lingerie which became Pettibone's signature.

Shortly thereafter, a close friend asked her to design a bridal gown for her wedding.

The dress was exquisite and soon word spread and customers were lining up at Claire's salon in Beverly Hills.

She then launched her bridal collection a few years later in New York to rave reviews.

Ever since her collections have been in countless bridal magazines and she has developed a following of brides seeking truly timeless and unique creations.

Her collections are now shown in premier bridal salons all around the world as she has quickly risen to the top in her industry.
