Claire Pettibone Spring 2013

We've been doing a little trend spotting in the 'i do' it yourself office and today we've got a gorgeous one. We're seeing more and more cutaway and ornate backs on wedding gowns. And why not? The back of your dress deserves just as much attention as the front. When you think about it, it's the view most of your guests will have. Here are a few of our favourite finds...
