This weekend, Stardust Celebrations in Plano is having a phenomenal trunk show featuring the St. Pucchi line and we were excited to learn that the designer behind the label, Rani Totman, will be available on Saturday, February 4 to meet with brides in private one-on-one consultations to help them customize a St. Pucchi gown of their choosing to fit their wedding day dreams!  If you recall, the famed St. Pucchi line that's dressed numerous celebrities and style icons was also the chosen designer of Candice Crawford who wed Tony Romo in May 2011 in Dallas. Candice wore a St. Pucchi couture gown purchased from Stardust Celebrations and also worked with Rani directly to make customizations to the gown. To read the full scoop on Candice's couture St. Pucchi selection, click here.

Our team fell in love with St. Pucchi line even more this past October at New York International Bridal Week when they unveiled their 2012 stunning collection. Inspired by a 13th century poet, Rani revealed 23 amazing gowns (many of which are shown above) that are simply divine!  If you're a DFW bride, don't miss out on this rare opportunity to meet the designer behind the gorgeous St. Pucchi line, see the latest bridal designs from the collection first hand for yourself and enjoy being totally pampered by the team at Stardust Celebrations!  To make an appointment, contact Stardust Celebrations directly at 972.781.1619. The trunk show runs from Friday, February 3 – Sunday, February 5, with special appearance by Rani Totman on Saturday, February 4.

Sara Katherine Sharp and Jason Arion Harner can’t wait for their March 10 wedding at the Dallas World Aquarium. The bride is particularly excited about the altar backdrop made of Shoji screens! The happy couple met as freshmen at the University of Texas at Dallas and knew there was something special between them. When Sara returned to school after Christmas break, she was delighted to find Jason had prepared her a gourmet meal. She didn’t realize he had even more surprises up his sleeve that evening. Jason proposed that night and Sara of course said, “Yes!” Congrats to Sara and Jason!
