Stardust Celebrations

My daughter and I just had a great experience at Stardust today. Although we didn't have an appointment there wasn't the pushback I was anticipating. When we first walked in, the first floor receptionist greeted us but wasn't engaging at all. I was put off with her but didn't want to start the day off in a negative way for my daughter's sake. After walking around the first floor taking it all in, my daughter asked about a fitting. We were told a consultant could take us upstairs. Once we met Kathy, she took over and I was very impressed with her professionalism, helpfulness and attention she gave my daughter even though she was told the budget is under $2,000. After walking around with us looking at dresses, Kathy delivered 7 dresses that were a combination of what my daughter wanted and what Kathy thought would be most flattering. During the fitting, we couldn't make up our minds which looked best; one after the other was simply beautiful and was immediately our "favorite". After my daughter tried on the dresses for the second time, her bridesmaid asked Kathy if she would go downstairs to get a dress that first caught my daughter's attention (which was half the price of the ones she already tried on). Without hesitation but with a smile Kathy returned with the dress. Turned out to be the least flattering on her. The first dress was the one selected. more

TRAMATIC and VERY PAINFUL!! I tried on my very first wedding gown at Stardust Celebrations yesterday. The girl helping me in the dress actually pinned the dress to my back. She didn't just poke me a little. She actually pushed the straight pin through the dress, into my back, out of my back and through the dress again. I yelped and started crying. She let go of the dress when I yelped and the weight pulled on the pin. When she realized what happened, she removed the pin. She was very apologetic and she went to get the owner. We waited for several minutes for the owner to show up and when she came through the door, she rolled her eyes at me and shrugged. She looked at my back and said that she didn't see a mark. I have posted pics on my facebook of the injury to my back. There are two distinct pin holes with a long red line spanning between. All of that is surrounded by a 2 inch diameter red swelling. The owner acted like I and my family were a complete waste of her time. Please BEWARE!!!\r more

This weekend I accompanied one of my best friends in her journey to find a knock out wedding dress. more

What a great experience I had at Stardust Celebrations. I needed a dress for my son's wedding asap. I had a wonderful lady named Myra, who picked out the perfect dress for me. Both my husband & myself were so impressed. We walked out with the dress & shoes ordered without any trouble. She was my angel that day!! more

Fairy God Mothers Do Exist!!!!!! I am planning a Wedding for the Winter of 2011 and I am on a tight budget and have curves. I was nervous about going into Stardust Celebrations because I read and believed reviews from this site. I really wanted to try on a Victoria Nicole and this place was theonly place I could do just that. I went in and had a WONDERFUL time! I was treated like a queen from the moment I walked in! The owners were there the day I went and made me feel as if I was a millionaire. My size didnt matter and the staff kept telling me how beautiful I am. more

I really enjoyed finding my wedding gown at Stardust! I had gone to a couple of other shops and seen some beautiful gowns but just wasn't feeling like I found "the one". I was starting to get nervous so I charged ahead and made yet another appointment, this time with Nancy at Stardust. Whoa, I walked into the shop and was blown away. It was wall-to-wall wedding stuff - so fun! I got there early so I had time to look around. I couldn't believe they had everything you'd ever need for yoru wedding - mother dresses, bridesmaid dresses, gifts, invitations, tuxedos and jewelry and veils. I was in HEAVEN! A few of the store's staff offered to help me once or twice but were not in my face, giving me a chance to browse. Then, it was time for my appointment. Nancy was great. She was very nice and seemed to get the vision I had in my mind and respected our budget. She brought some gowns she thought met those requirements and that would work with my shape. At long last, I found MY wedding gown! We ordered a Simone Carvalli gown that I am so in love with. It is so beautiful and so dramatic. I can't wait for it to come in. I had a wonderful experience and am telling all of my friends that stardust is the place to shop for a wedding gown! more

Stardust was the second place we went to when trying on dresses. We immediately were welcomed when we arrived and I was working with Wendy. I am a VERY indecisive person and Wendy was phenomenal in helping me. We tried on quite a few dresses and narrowed it down. I went back a second time to try on the final three and she even called the makers of the dress to see if they could make some changes. Once she got the information she immediately send me an email letting me know what they said. more

My niece intended to shop at Stardust for her wedding dress but most of their dresses were beyond her price range. Melissa Lemons, her bridal consultant at Stardust suggested she look at their smaller boutique, Lulu's. We were so impressed with the variety of dresses they had (all in her price range) and with the excellent service. Melissa did a wonderful job of ascertaining what my niece wanted in a wedding dress. She helped her see what dresses could achieve the look she wanted and suggested alterations to some dresses that would make them look even better. There were four of us tagging along to help the bride make her decision. Melissa and the rest of the staff made us all feel so comfortable and pampered. It was a wonderful experience. When it's time for my daughter to buy a wedding dress, we will definitely go to Stardust! more

I purchased my second, yes second and FINAL, wedding dress from Stardust. I worked with Wendy and Marsha. I had fallen in love with a dress from the Bliss line. We rushed the order. The dress came in a week later than it was estimated to come in. Wendy worked with me and returned all my calls when I was panicking about my dress. She made sure that I worked with Kayla to get my alterations in time for my bridal portraits even though the dress came in late. Marsha talked to the wedding dress designer and got my rush fee back since it was late too! Wendy, Kayla, and Marsha are all WONDERFUL! These people all meant so much more to me because I actually live 5 hours away from Plano. My dress was beautiful at my wedding and I owe it to Stardust! more

My daughter and I went to Stardust last weekend looking for her gown. We had a blast! She could not commit to "the gown" more

I had the best experience at Stardust Celebrations with consultant Marianne Stayer Phillips, and found my perfect wedding dress! more

I only wish I had read all the awful reviews about Stardust before I went all the way to Dallas to have my very own horrible experience. Also, for the record... I have never written a review on this or any other web site before my experience at Stardust but felt I had to so others could be warned. I guess I also hope that the owners of Stardust will start paying attention to the bad reviews and make some serious changes. Pros: Great Selection Cons: Everything Else more

I was so happy after I went in and met with bridal consultant, Marianne Stayer Phillips at Stardust Celebrations. She was so great to work with and helped me find the perfect dress for my figure. The personal attention I received was incredible. Pros: Excellent service, good style, fun vibe and lots of personal Cons: Too much of a good thing?! more

I was visiting my aunt in the area and she scheduled an appointment to search for the perfect gown for my wedding. Please keep in mind I planned to purchase two gowns (ceremony and reception). I have a budget of $30,000.00 for both gowns. Pros: Large gown selection Cons: Rude staff, Lack of professionalism from staff more

their customer service is poor though their product is beautiful. A toss up I guess. Pros: good dress selection Cons: they do not respect their customers more

worse than a VIP party full of divas to even see a dress. They discriminate about how you look, how you act, and how much money you will be spending. I'm assuming everyone who had a good experience fits a mold, you know size 4, blond, preppy and spending 10,000 or more, because no one else could possibly be getting married... That is how I felt. Pros: good selection if you get it Cons: worst service EVER more

rude and snobby!!!!! Pros: selection Cons: staff more

On stop shopping for any bride. My daughter and I made an appointment with Wendy. Wendy met us with a smile and made the whole experience pleasant. This was the first place we visited and my daughter found her dress! My daughter was very particular about what she wanted and Wendy helped her with her selection. There was no stress or pressure to try on other dresses or styles - there was no sales pitch. Wendy allowed my daughter the time and space to make her selection. Overall, couldn't expect a better outcome. I would recommend Wendy and Stardust Celebrations to others that are planning a wedding. Pros: Great service, offered variey of wedding dresses more

I surfed the web and called to schedule an appt. w/ WEndy. She is so phony!!! When i walked in the store they paged her and she came running down the stairs only to find out that I was a african american customer. She appeared to have scheduled more than one appt and was concerned about making her numbers for the day. As I tried on the dress she made a weird noise saying Aw, my goodness that dress is made for you. She continued Aww, AWWW .... I latered heard her in a room with another saying the same thing. AWwww, (as if she was out of breath) AWWW it was annoying. There was one dress I really liked and asked if they carried more than one shade of Ivory.... I decided to go with the dress there as I was exhausted and had been searching for a dress for months... Until now, I have never searched for dresses before so I did not know what all to expect... I finally took the dress to have it altered and the lady who performed my alterations asked if my dress was used?? I was DEVASTED.. I went looking for an Ivory dress only to find that it was filty.. Now I'm paying a tenth of fhe cost of the dress to have it dry cleaned..I digress..... Pros: huge selection Cons: Phony Wendy more
