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!

StarDust Bride Wearing Augusta Jones Featured on D Weddings

We adore this precious couple, featured on D Weddings’ online Real Weddings page!

Devan is truly a StarDust bride, having found her romantic August Jones bridal gown at our StarDust Bridal Salon and her bridesmaids’ darling Alfred Sung dresses at LuLu’s Bridal Boutique.

And seriously – who can resist a man in a Marine Corps uniform?! Oorah!

Devan’s Janice style gown is a 1950's inspired strapless organza wedding gown featuring a pleated wrapover bodice with a sweeping sweetheart neckline. The A-line skirt is a vision in rolled organza ribbon and features a scallop lace trim on the hem and train.

Congrats Devan and Jacob! We were happy to have played a small part in your big day!
