StarDust Bride: Annie and Dave's Ranch Romance Wedding

Annie and Dave planned a fabulous ranch wedding in Wimberly, Texas. It was a relaxed and fun affair, held at Red Corral Ranch on a gorgeous day this past December. Annie worked in lots of rustic charm with romantic touches - including her fabulous Watters Soledad bridal gown bought at StarDust! Check out these lovely shots from their photographer, Amy Seymour.

Annie's blue bridesmaids dresses contrasted nicely with the whisper pink of her Soledad gown.

Soledad by Watters was a beautifully flattering gown on lovely Annie!

Even the back is stunning!

Love the bride's happy expression!

We love this shot - this gown is gorgeous and was perfect for the romantic ranch wedding!

Check out more of this darling wedding on The Knot! p.s. We absolutely adore that the bride and groom shared a pre-wedding beer - that is awesome!

Stardust Bridal Salon Gowns Featured in The Texas Wedding Guide

The 38th Edition of The Texas Wedding Guide hit newsstands at the beginning of August, and StarDust Celebrations is thrilled to be represented throughout the fabulous issue!

We are especially honored to have several wedding gowns featured in the fashion photo shoot featuring the lovely redheaded Cover Model Contest Winner, Colleen. In the fun spread Model Magic, Colleen can be seen showing off several of our bridal gowns from Stardust Bridal Salon from designers such as Alvina Valenta, Watters and Matthew Christopher.

Thanks, TWG, for including our gorgeous gowns in your photo shoot! Colleen looks beautiful in them!

Black and White Anemone Bridal Bouquets

With the trend of black belts or sashes accenting bridal gowns still front-and-center, what a fab time to try something different for your bridal bouquet! While bouquets of roses, peonies, stephanotis or calla lilies are lovely, why not go for a statement bouquet featuring white anemones with that dramatic ebony punch? We love these gorgeous gowns incorporating a black belt by some of our favorite designers.

Wouldn’t any of these stunning bouquets just be the icing on the cake paired with one of these wedding gowns? We hope you find these simply inspiring!

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!

And some of these gowns are just downright regal, don’t you think? Fit for a princess, to be sure!

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.

This trend gives new meaning to the term “blushing bride” – blush gowns! These gorgeous soft pink hues are sure to flatter any bride’s skin tone.

Who said you have to keep the botanical details in the bouquets?! Check out these amazing wedding dresses with larger-than-life floral accents.

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!

ALL the wedding gowns we saw were simply fabulous, but some our favorites this year were Lazaro, Watters and especially Eve of Milady! We had the added pleasure of meeting Eve! She is not only beautiful – just like her gowns – but gracious as well. We are so thrilled to be bringing some of these breath-taking new bridal gowns to our salons in the next few months! We just cannot wait to share these stunning gowns with you!
