Marchesa’s elegant bridal designs are inspired by vintage and Asian influences, and the 2011 bridal collection features ruffles, feathers and loads of textured fabrics.

Co-founded by British designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, the Marchesa label is named for its muse, Marchesa Luisa Casati, an eccentric, turn-of-the-century European socialite. Ms. Chapman is also recognized as an actress (“Gossip Girl”, Match Point) and wife of Harry Weinstein, co-founder of Weinstein Co. and Miramax Films.
