New in Bridesmaids: JY Jenny Yoo for Dessy

We are so excited to have a new designer in our bridesmaids department at StarDust! Internationally recognized designer, Jenny Yoo, has partnered with The Dessy Group to design a collection of bridesmaid dresses inspired by current fashion trends and the voice of the modern bride. She is known for her understated yet sophisticated aesthetic, and feminine and refined looks. The JY Jenny Yoo Bridesmaid Collection is perfect for the bride and bridesmaid who are looking for a dress that she can wear not only on the wedding day, but again and again for any special occasion. 

 

No appointment is needed in our bridesmaids department so get your girls together and come on in!

Coming Soon: Yaki Ravid Couture

We are so excited to announce a brand new bridal line in the StarDust bridal salon! We first met premiere Israeli designer, Yaki Ravid, at New York Bridal Market earlier this year and knew instantly that his gowns would be perfect for the StarDust bride...sophisticated, unique and daring with elements of classic romance that makes each gown a true work of art. 

Uncompromising. Unapologetic. Unforgettable. Welcome to the House of Yaki Ravid.

Our Yaki Ravid sample gowns are expected in store August 2015. Schedule your bridal appointment online or by calling 972-781-1619 to shop these exquisite gowns.
