A trunk show is where we feature a designer’s new collection that is not in stores yet. Typically, these new gowns will only be in our store for a weekend, Friday through Sunday. Then they are shipped back out to another store for the following weekend. In some cases, brides get the privilege of working closely with the designer, making your experience even more unforgettable.
A Premier Bridesmaid appointment is only available on Monday and Thursday nights at 6:00 pm. You can bring in more than six guests and do a bridal gown reveal with your whole party.
