Make your appointment now online or by calling 214.871.9610. Book now as these spots will fill up quickly!

At StarDust Celebrations, talented designer Toni Federici will make a special appearance during our trunk show for her stunning veils.

Book your appointment online now or call 972.781.1619 to get a spot to finalize your wedding day look with these beautiful veils. Be sure to plan to bring your gown so our stylists can help you select the perfect complimentary veil.

Ask the Stylist: Accessorizing

Q: I have found the wedding dress of my dreams. Now what?!

 

A: We're so glad you asked! First of all, congrats on finding your dream bridal gown; that is truly one of your biggest and most exciting wedding planning milestones!

 

Now you'll want to focus on your veil and/or hair accessories. Plan ahead; it generally takes eight weeks for a veil order to arrive. The heavier detail or more intricate the edge of the veil is, the more prominence your veil takes in your overall wedding day look. So if your gown is more simple, you can go with a more elaborate veil, but if your gown has lots of detail you want to take your guests' breath away, select a more modest veil.

Veils come in many colors, from several varying shades of white (white, diamond white, ivory, sand, etc.) to hues matching the variety of colored bridal gowns on the market now (pink and blue, to name a few). Veil prices range from around $175 for a simple, one-layer, cut-edge veil up to around $2,000 for something that featured lace, sparkle or intricate designs.

Chances are that you will want to remove your veil once your reception really gets going as it's not easy dancing while wearing one. We always recommend a little something for your hair for when the veil comes off so you still look special.

Headband styles are really in right now and they can easily be worn again. You can wear them for New Year's Eve or some other party, as a guest to another wedding or any other time you need to dress up a little. We would not recommend real flowers in your hair because they can wilt or discolor, not to mention what allergies they may stir up in anyone you come into contact with on your wedding day.

Some brides question whether or not they really need a veil. We always strongly recommend one and here's why:

•     Veils make for fantastically beautiful photos
•     Veils help distinguish in photos that you are, in fact, a bride
•     Veils make the bridal magic!

We actually wrote an extensive post explaining why you as a bride should wear a veil. You should read it!

 

Whether you found your dream dress at one of our salons or somewhere else, we would love to help you find the veil and hair accessories to perfectly complement your bridal gown. Call us at 972.781.1619 to schedule an appointment; you'll want to make plans to bring your gown, if possible.

Bling Is Still King

Brides may be opting for softer gown styles, embellished with lace and appliques rather than crystals, rhinestones and heavy beading, but we find that they still want to bring in some bling. Accessories are a fabulous way to keep a little sparkle with your wedding day look without letting it overwhelm your entire wedding design. At Stardust, we pride ourselves on providing the best that the industry has to offer. From timeless classics to the hottest trends, we’ve got you covered. With that, we present to you some of the fun ways we’ve been helping our brides incorporate this dazzling trend!

We love these amazing blinged out cowgirl boots for brides. These are perfect for the bride who wants to bring in a little glam country to her big day!

Some moms are even going for this golden-toned version!

Belts are another trend staying strong and can be a great option for incorporating a little bling.

They are also very flattering, showing off a bride’s lovely figure!

Hair accessories are always in style, and we love these bejeweled options; they are stunning with a less adorned gown!

Jewelry is always a great way to bring in some glitz, and it works beautifully with an understated gown!

And don’t forget about shoes and clutches! These glamorous offerings are just what the fashionista ordered!

Last but not least, we now have these darling blinged out hangers – perfect for the glam bride on her wedding day!

Stop in Stardust Bridal Salon soon to see what bit of bling you can bring to your special day!

Brrrrr...Think Fur!

Baby, it's cold outside and we have just the thing to keep you warm: fabulous fur! If you're a winter bride, you'll need a little something to keep you warm, especially while traveling between the ceremony and reception and at sendoff.

From white shrugs to neutral capes to black wraps, we carry a beautiful variety of gorgeous furs featuring several styles and colors. Come in to our salon to get yours before they are all snatched up. No appointment is required to shop our furs.

New in Store: Scandalicious Apparel Sweats

Looking for warm yet classy loungewear while getting hair and makeup done on your wedding day? Or just some comfy duds while you're powering through your wedding planning to-do list? We have adorable blinged out sweats from Scandalicious/Scandalous Designs now in our salon, in white and charcoal!

Both colors come in a hooded sweatshirt embellished with rows of crystals along the hood; the white have sweatpants as well. They are super cute and oh-so-soft! Come in and check them out!

New in Store: Bridal Flip Flops from Scandalous Designs

Just in time for spectacular springtime - we now have these fun new wedge flip flops from Scandalous Designs in our bridal salon at Stardust Celebrations!

These sandals, constructed by hand right here in Dallas, feature the finest crystals, platforms and elements imported from around the world. Founder Nanci Schwind recognizes that there are more than a few companies producing overly expensive, “blinged out” shoes in today’s marketplace. She created Scandalous Designs with the clear objective to be superior in design, quality and value. With a background spanning 15 years of product development, retail and manufacturing experience, she is confident that the company and its products fill a niche in the market, providing sophisticated sandals of the highest quality at an attractive price point.
