StarDust Bridal Salon Honored with Award as Industry Favorite

Last night was a beautiful night of celebration. The American Association of Certified Wedding Planners (AACWP) held their Eighth Annual Vendi Awards, celebrating the favorite vendors of the esteemed organization's 100+ professional wedding planners. And guess what...

Yes - StarDust won the award for Favorite Bridal Salon! We are incredibly honored to recognized among a field of several worthy salons (one of which is our sister boutique, LuLu's Bridal!). The AACWP's polling method is a two-part process, where contenders must first be nominated, then voted on by the membership of the Association. Thank you, AACWP members, for this honor and for the privilege to serve you and your brides in this wonderful DFW wedding market! We love our jobs!

Another highlight of our evening was the promotion of two of our wedding planners from "trained" status to "certified."

Our planning rock stars Devan and Laura make it official, having exceeded the stringent requirements to earn Certified Wedding Planners status! Congrats, ladies!

Here are a few pics of the gorgeous evening, hosted by the always elegant Four Seasons Resort and Club. We'll round up some more for you soon, but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy these!

AACWP members, you astound and humble us! We are incredibly honored to have StarDust Celebrations selected again as the Favorite Bridal Salon by this extraordinary group of talented wedding planners.


Our elegant award will live in a place of honor displayed in our beautiful salon.

The membership of the American Association of Certified Weddings Planners is made up of more than 100 of the best and brightest wedding planners, admired and respected by the finest wedding vendors the state of Texas has to offer.

This year, the awards received a makeover and are now called The Vendi Awards. Cute, huh?

This was, however, the seventh year of the recognition celebration, and it stuns us to be able to say that we are the “reigning champions” in the bridal salon category - an unbelievable honor given the many wonderful bridal salons in this market.

This award belongs to our incredible staff, who work tirelessly and joyfully to serve every bride who walks through our door. It is our stylists’ passion and pleasure to help each bride find her perfect wedding gown for her special day. Thank you, thank you for your dedication and commitment to our brides and their families and to StarDust Celebrations!

Just a few members of our incredible team!
