If you’re a bride-to-be, you may have heard the term bridal trunk show floating around — but what is a trunk show exactly? And why is it one of the best times to book your bridal appointment at White Wisteria Bridal Boutique? We’re breaking down everything you need to know about bridal trunk shows, what to expect when attending one, and why these events can be a total game-changer when it comes to finding your dream dress.
What Is a Bridal Trunk Show?
A bridal trunk show is a special event where a bridal boutique (like us!) partners with a wedding dress designer to bring in extra gowns that aren’t normally available in store. These gowns are typically from the designer’s newest collection and are only available to try on for a limited time — usually just a weekend! It’s the perfect chance to:
Pro Tip: Don’t confuse a trunk show with a preview show. Preview shows offer dresses that have never been seen before and haven’t been released yet. A trunk show features dresses that are newly released or part of a current collection — meaning they’re ready for special order and you’ll be among the first brides to wear them!
Why You Should Attend a Trunk Show
There are so many reasons why saying yes to the dress during a trunk show is an amazing idea:
1. More Dresses to Choose FromDuring a trunk show at White Wisteria, we temporarily expand our inventory with a fresh selection of designer gowns — many of which are not normally available in our boutique. That means more variety, more sizes, and more styles for you to fall in love with.
2. Access to the Latest DesignsBecause trunk shows often feature the designer’s newest wedding dress collection, you get to try on what’s trending before most other brides. Think updated silhouettes, on-trend details, and fresh takes on classic styles.
3. Special Trunk Show PerksSome designers offer exclusive discounts or incentives when you purchase during the event — and who doesn’t love a little bridal bonus?
4. It’s the Perfect Shopping ExperienceTrunk shows are exciting, energetic, and filled with fellow brides just like you. You’ll still get the same personalized, one-on-one experience we’re known for at White Wisteria, but with a little extra sparkle. Want to elevate the moment even more? Consider booking one of our upgraded appointments, like our VIP Bridal Experience or an After-Hours Private Appointment for an even more memorable and luxurious try-on experience during the trunk show weekend.
