Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig took their classically beautiful Spring 2017 ready-to-wear collection and its Grecian goddess theme and translated it into their newest offering of bridal gowns. “We felt it lent itself so well to bridal because every girl wants to feel like a goddess,” offered Chapman backstage. The resulting pieces were indeed deity-like; one gown with 3-D florals and embroidered tulle had a removable cape that dreamily elevated the piece, while a fit-and-flare tulle style with frothy bishop sleeves nicely hugged the body. A shorter, drop-waist cloqué number would be a stellar fit for the more modern bride.
The off-the-shoulder looks were standouts here. A tiered ball gown with horsehair detailing was head-turning, while one confectionary number with a layered tulle skirt could make any bride feel just as divine as the designers’ inspiration.
