Tick Tock: Time to Order Bridesmaids Gowns Now for Fall Weddings

While things are just starting to heat up in Texas as we cruise through spring toward summer, it's already time to start thinking what you will dress your lovely bridesmaids in for your fall wedding! We have some beautiful dresses to choose from at StarDust, particularly several flattering styles from Jim Hjelm Occasions.

When ordering bridesmaid gowns, you want to try and get it done four to six months out from your wedding date to ensure plenty of time.

We have an easy-to-follow guide to ordering bridesmaid dresses here. Be sure check it out, then head into our salon to shop the latest gorgeous styles for your wedding party!

A Curvy Bride and StarDust Dress the Couple for the Wedding at The MAT

So a bride walks into a bar...hehehe! Jokes aside, this weekend, Curvy Bride Jennifer married groom Shannon at Big Al's McKinney Avenue Tavern, with the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning crew serving as their wedding party while Coolio (yes, you read that right - Coolio!) presided over their ceremony!

A Curvy Bride and StarDust Celebrations were thrilled to play a part in the Wedding at the MAT! Jennifer found her dream gown at A Curvy Bride while StarDust outfitted the gentlemen in tuxedos. Here are some fun pics from the big day (captured by Harry Photo).

Universally Flattering Bridesmaids Dresses for Your Wedding Party

It's a fact of life. Ladies are all unique and come in many different shapes and sizes. As a bride, you want all of your girls to look and feel fabulous on your wedding day. A big part of that is the bridesmaid dress you select for your ladies. We have a few universally flattering gowns carried at StarDust that we LOVE for all varieties of body types in wedding parties. Check out these lovelies:

Jim Hjelm Occasions style 5182 in luminescent chiffon features an A-line silhouette, draped
one-shoulder neckline and natural waist. This fabulously flowy gown is available in more
 than two dozen colors.



Style 7716 from Watters is offered in 30+ colors! This full-length gown of luminescent
taffeta flatters with its pleated bodice, full skirt and shirred empire band at the waist,
where a flower pin detail adds interest.

The Pine dress (style 4512) from Watters is available in both floor length and short! This
luxurious crinkle chiffon gown features a strapless sweetheart neckline, draped bodice and shirred skirt.
Pine is available in more than 30 colors, from soft romantic pastels to bold jewel tones to neutrals.

Soft and romantic, Wtoo's 852i is an A-line infinity dress of bobbinet, with a sweetheart neckline
and shirred bodice. The most special features of this gown (available in nearly three dozen colors!)
are the skirt panels in front and back that allow the dress to be worn with multiple necklines.

These are just a few of our favorite bridesmaids' gowns that we carry at StarDust that will help make your bridal party shine! Come in today to meet with one of our bridesmaids consultants who will help style your wedding party to create a beautiful cohesive look for your big day.
