Real Wedding: StarDust Bride Featured in Brides of North Texas

As we anxiously await the release of the Spring/Summer 2015 issue of The Brides of North Texas, we wanted to share a featured bride from the Fall/Winter 2014 edition that happens to be a StarDust Bride.

Melissa was positively radiant in her Matthew Christopher "Sofia" gown - so much so that she was chosen for the cover of the magazine! She is simply stunning:

Melissa and groom Ryan enjoyed a beautiful wedding planned by Jen Rios and captured by Feather & Twine Photography. Check out the write-up below for all of the lovely scoop! And enjoy LOTS more luscious photos of this event from the F&T duo here!

Two Bride Favorites Featured During Trunk Shows this Weekend

We're celebrating the first weekend in February with trunk shows highlighting two of brides' most beloved designers.

StarDust will host a show for Alvina Valenta, where a representative of designer Jessica Williams will make an appearance.

Alvina Valenta bridal gowns are known for their timeless elegance, sophistication and most especially their attention to detail. All of the dresses are finished by hand, including the beading and their signature hand rolled roses. Every hem is finished with lace right down to the petticoats. Alvina Valenta bridal gowns are made of the finest silks, satin shantung, and satin organza to name a few.

Over at LuLu's in the Dallas Design District, we'll be featuring the newest gowns from Pronovias.

Hailing from the world-renowned Spanish design house, Pronovias gowns are glamorous, sophisticated, bold and majestic. Innovators in the bridal industry, it was the Pronovias Group who brought the “prêt-á-porter” or ready-to-wear concept from the fashion world into bridal. Pronovias gowns are decidedly feminine, designed to celebrate the female shape. Whether simply elegant, lavishly embellished or lace covered, Pronovias gowns are constructed with the utmost quality and are always fashion forward.
