Marchesa creates Bridal Collection for St.Regis hotels
The Marchesa Bridal Capsule Collection for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts draws inspiration from some of the St. Regis brand’s most iconic urban and resort destinations – namely New York, Dubai, Punta Mita and Mumbai. Now available at stregis.com/marchesa, each dress will range from USD $20,000 – $50,000. Those who purchase one of the bridal gowns will be invited to Marchesa’s atelier for a personal fitting with Chapman and Craig, followed by a stay at the legendary The St. Regis New York.
“Each design evokes the distinct style of its destination with bespoke details that appeal to brides from all parts of the world,” said Chapman.
The Marchesa designers drew inspiration from the customs and culture of each locale so that each dress design connotes a unique sense of place. They then began sketching and draping silhouettes, experimenting with fabrics and thinking about design elements that would resonate with each destination.
This dress was inspired by St.Regis Mumbai, India
The Mumbai design features an intricate-engineered, embroidered lace bodice with crystal and pearl embroidery with gold accents. It is a regal dress with traditional Indian beading, which also captures a modern lightness with the pleated tulle skirt overlay atop a Chantilly lace column skirt.

The design for New York is much more architectural, with a nod to the 1950s. The gown features a cathedral train with 3D-threadwork embroidery and crystal and pearl beading over silk duchess satin.
The Marchesa dress inspired by The St.Regis Dubai
The Dubai-inspired dress channels the fashion-forward, vibrant city into a gown with a slim silhouette and dramatic long sleeve. It features ornate rose gold threadwork and a silk duchess satin fishtail skirt, fully beaded with clear crystals and pearls.
The Marchesa dress inspired by The St.Regis Punta Mita
The resort setting of Punta Mita inspired a design that embraces a more relaxed aesthetic in-tune with a beach wedding. The dress features soft 3D-lace floral and threadwork embroidery with flowing tulle.
The St. Regis brand’s partnership with Chapman and Craig developed organically after Marchesa showed its bridal collection at The St. Regis New York during New York International Bride Week in October 2014. As genuine brand enthusiasts, the two esteemed designers call St. Regis their home away from home when they travel and entertain around the globe.
