First Official Photos of Candice Crawford in her Custom St. Pucchi Bridal Gown

We don’t know where or how Miss Lauren Scruggs got them, but we are so excited to pass on the first official photos of the gorgeous Candice Crawford in her custom St. Pucchi bridal gown from Stardust. Lauren posted these on her blog, lolo, last night and we were so excited that St. Pucchi shared the link with us immediately via Facebook!

The now-Mrs. Tony Romo was every bit the glowing bride and modeled the perfect marriage between fashion and beauty.Candice made a bold choice with her departure away from the ever-popular strapless wedding gown by choosing this fabulous design featuring the high collar and plunging neckline. The fitted bodice then exploded into a full skirt of stunning folds of silk, a perfect choice for Candice’s flawless figure. It is so amazing to work with a bride who knows exactly what gown is best suited to her body type, and Candice certainly knows what works for her!

Candice customized the gown by adding the keyhole back, borrowed from a different St. Pucchi gown, and added more appliqués, sparkling crystals and ostrich feathers to give the gown additional dimension and texture. The final result was absolutely stunning, the perfect culmination of Candice’s dream bridal gown!

Candice Crawford’s St. Pucchi Bridal Gown is from Stardust

Now that the big event has happened and the “I do’s” have been said, we can shout it out to the world: we sold Candice Crawford her custom St. Pucchi bridal gown! That’s right – the celebrity bride came to Stardust Bridal Salon to bring her dream wedding gown to life. Candice attended her initial appointment with us very soon after becoming engaged, and we’re not sure we’ve ever enjoyed a group of such gracious and beautiful ladies more! The lovely friends and family members accompanying the then-future Mrs. Romo were completely focused on helping Candice find the perfect gown for her. The fun appointment was all captured by a videographer who accompanied the party.

This gorgeous St. Pucchi Couture bridal gown was the
starting point for Candice Crawford's custom gown.

The bride knew exactly which gown she was drawn to, having kept a photo of the dream dress for some time. The moment she put on the stunning St. Pucchi Couture sample (pictured right), the entire entourage was left breathless. It’s the kind of moment when the image is forever seared into the brain as the gown seemed to be designed just for Candice. She has the perfect body type for this gown, with her elegant posture and graceful neck and shoulders perfectly showcasing the Queen Anne collar. The former beauty queen did try on one or two other gowns, just to be sure there wasn’t another wedding dress better suited to her, but there was no doubt that the first St. Pucchi gown she tried on was THE gown.

Candice customized the pure silk gown by adding a keyhole back, additional crystals and ostrich feathers, as well as additional flower appliqués to bring the plunging neckline up a bit. The lovely bride was treated to a visit with St. Pucchi's head designer, Rani Totman herself, during one of her fittings. The final product was truly a work of art, especially when the lovely bride put it on! We feel honored that the lovely Candice Crawford chose Stardust as her bridal salon and wish the new Mr. and Mrs. Romo a lifetime of love and happiness!

Spring 2012 Collections Revealed at New York Bridal Market

Whew! What an exciting few days we had at the fabulous New York Bridal Market last week! The designers have just outdone themselves, and lucky us – and you – we all get to reap the rewards!

With the pending nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton being top-o-mind for everyone in the bridal world, the royal wedding clearly made an impact on some of the designs of the new bridal gown collections. We saw that especially in the use of sleeves! Look at some of these beautiful options!

Texture was everywhere. Gowns were constructed of different fabrics and designers are using them in fun ways such as pleats on bodices and ruffles all over! Designers also used plentiful beading and appliqués to give their gowns a lot of dimension.

Another trend that is still going strong is the use of belts and sashes. This season, the waist accentuating detail has been elevated to a centerpiece of the design in some cases.

Did you notice that several of these wedding gowns have corset-inspired bodices? Not only do corsets give brides a lovely, feminine shape, but the hints to the seams and boning in these designs give the gowns a lingerie-inspired feel, adding a true “sexy factor” to these gowns!
