Upcoming Trunk Shows

Trunk shows can be a wonderful opportunity to find your perfect wedding dress and possibly even meet the designer. Attending a favorite designer's trunk show maximizes your chance of finding the dress of your dreams, and since most bridal salons only carry a few dresses from a select group of designers, trunk shows allow brides the opportunity to see and try on dresses that they wouldn't normally see in that particular store. Trunk shows are planned well in advance. Call bridal salons that carry designers you are interested in to see if they have any trunk shows scheduled.

What is a Trunk Show?
It is a special event in which the wedding dress designer (or a representative from the company) visits a bridal salon with his or her entire collection of new dresses. Brides may schedule appointments to try on the dresses and meet with the designer.

Things to Know
A trunk show is NOT a sale. The dresses are not discounted. However, if you are serious abotu purchasing a dress that you saw at a trunk show, the designer may throw in a frew extras (buttons down the back, additional length for the train, change the neckline to a sweetheart) without charging you more. These small savings could make a huge difference if you are on a limited budget.
