Trunk Show 101

The world of bridal shopping can often be confusing and a little bit hard to navigate...Gowns aren't stocked in your size, there are often more options than you can imagine, and at many salons appointments are required. Your wedding dress is a once in a lifetime purchase and so it makes sense that the entire experience would be different than your typical trip to the mall. One really special experience that shouldn't be missed is a trunk show!

We get asked all of the time what's a trunk show and why should I bother going to it? Historically, a trunk show was when the designer would visit the stores with a trunk filled with their latest designs and collections. Today, this idea has evolved a little bit, but the premise is still the same.

For a few days, the designer or a representative from the company will be available at the store to answer questions and show off the new and best gowns. This means that you get the opportunity to not only get the insider perspective, but you will be able to try on numerous gowns that aren't usually in the store.

And, of course, at all trunk shows we do a special trunk show discount of 10% for all purchases from the designer during the event. It truly is a fun, fabulous weekend not to be missed. In 2007, we'll be holding a trunk show for both Junko Yoshioka and Vera Wang. The 2008 calendar will be released soon.
