The French word for “cut,” decoupage involves assembling and layering paper cutouts for decorating wooden boxes, chests, ceramics, and decorative objects. If the term conjures up images of crafty trinkets and keepsakes from your great aunt Edna, think again. Inspired by the art of decoupage for her Spring 2014 bridal collection, designer Claire Pettibone layered chantilly and guipure, silk and vintage laces, and flowers and delicate handbeaded details, combining textures and treatments for an heirloom collection of wedding gowns.
