Alright guys. Ready to start your weekends with Claire Pettibone, heaps of flowers, and the most surreal beachy setting? This editorial by Wendy Laurel (who could forget the last time we featured her photography on le blog?!) is all romance. That bouquet above? Pretty sure we don’t need to say more…

The Claire Pettibone Lilith gown is from the Romantique collection.

Wendy says, This editorial was inspired by my love for ballet, dance, and the sun and sand at the beach. Her dress was perfect for the beach and allowed a free movement. Its design was flowy and perfect for the wind and beach with a tulle layer while still being elegant. The ribbons from Adorn are a hand dyed and torn silk that echoed the ribbons of the ballet pointe shoes and worked well with the natural elements. The amazing floral design was wild and free but with bright happy colors that contrasted nicely with the grey and blues of the beachscape.
