Discover the ethereal, vintage-inspired gowns in Claire Pettibone's The Secret Garden collection for 2025, which were previewed at the bridal designer's flagship salon in New York City.
Bridal designer Claire Pettibone is known for her romantic, vintage-inspired gowns and has dressed celebrity brides including Priscilla Chan for her nuptials to Mark Zuckerberg, Twilight star Nikki Reed when she married Ian Somerhalder, and recently Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Cobain – who wore the "Kristene" gown (see the short version in this new collection!) – when she married Tony Hawk's son Riley Hawk in October 2023. Handmade of the finest silks and Parisian laces in her dreamy Los Angeles atelier dubbed The Castle, the bridal designer premiered her brand-new collection at her penthouse flagship salon in New York City.
With the 2025 collection titled "The Secret Garden," Claire Pettibone Design Atelier strikes again with another grouping of whimsical, ethereal bridal gowns that we know brides will love. Inspired by the namesake classic story and elements inspired by nature, the enchanting couture wedding dresses highlight exquisite details including delicate florals, intricate lace, and soft, flowing silhouettes that are fitting for an array of nuptial styles, from garden weddings to black-tie ballroom soirées.
Showcasing opulent art deco-inspired gowns, embellished silver designs, and even a bold look highlighting red floral embroideries, this collection is perfect for brides who desire a wedding dress with either a romantic style featuring blossoming details or a bold Old Hollywood vibe that wows. There are also dazzling minidresses in this collection, which are ideal for the welcome party, a second look for dancing, or the after-party, to ensure brides have something special to wear throughout the wedding weekend.
