Trend Alert: Woodland Theme

Make no mistake about it: rustic, woodland-themed weddings are still big. Really big. And with the weather in Texas generally mild through the winter - okay, Icepocalypse aside - we expect to see this continue through the winter and into the spring. Woodland elements are so earthy, romantic and humble yet beautiful. Pull this theme off by incorporating lots of wood details, such as wooden invitations, tree trunk or stump stands or displays and tree bark. Woodland details provide interest and texture, and you really see that in burlap touches, lace and floral design. Here are a few of our favorite woodland touches:

Meet Designer Robert Bullock at StarDust this Weekend

Our incredible trunk show season continues! This weekend, designer Robert Bullock will make an appearance at our trunk show for his Birnbaum & Bullock Couture Collection at StarDust. Call us now to schedule your appointment and secure your chance to meet the design dynamo: 972.781.1619.

Birnbaum & Bullock have built their company on captivating brides with their unique blend of sophistication and whimsy for over a decade.

All Birnbaum & Bullock gowns are created in their New York workroom. The attention to detail their staff gives each creation is evident in the workmanship and fine finishing techniques. All gowns are cut to the bride’s measurements, insuring each bride a fit much closer to her body than any gown ordered in a size.

The gowns are completely lined in silk, even the petticoats, resulting in a garment that is not only a pleasure to behold but also a luxurious and sensual delight to wear.

Come enjoy these lovely gowns in the expanded offering of their full Spring 2014 line during our trunk show!

Pantone Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid

We were super-excited to hear Pantone announce that their Color of the Year for 2014 is Radiant Orchid! We love all shades of purple - our logo is purple, have you noticed?! - and we have planned many weddings over the past few years featuring purple-centric color palettes.

We love what Pantone has to say about this lovely shade: "Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple - one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health."

We could not agree more! And with that, we give to you this lovely inspiration board we put together featuring lots of beautiful orchid goodness.

Beautiful Gowns Await You at Two Trunk Shows this Weekend

Essential to the bridal industry, Trunk Shows are special in-store promotions or sales events that allow brides to shop an expanded collection of a specific gown designers' newest line. Often, salons will offer a special promotion or discount during a trunk show. The name "trunk show" comes from how the gowns used to be transported from salon to salon - in trunks! This weekend, both of our fabulous bridal shops are hosting a trunk show.

James Clifford's couture bridal gown collection features classic looks in combination with a modern fashion flare. Luxurious fabrics of silk, satin and traditional, romantic lace make each wedding dress special in its own way. Gorgeous, eye-catching details of hand-beaded Swarovski crystal, sculpted necklines and figure-flattering rouching add glamour and sophistication. Unique styling reflects the creativity and salability of the James Clifford Collection with a variety of wedding gown silhouettes that appeal to the fashionable bride.

 

Call the StarDust Bridal Salon to schedule your appointment during the James Clifford Trunk Show: 972.781.1619.
