Trunk shows are actually events where the designer's house brings the entire collection to one venue in trunks, what else! Often, the wedding dresses brought over are not yet available at the boutiques, which give you a heads up on the latest scrumptious bridal paraphernalia your favorite designer will offer. An added advantage of trunk shows is that there are fashion experts available for personal consultations, which is usually part of the service.
You will be assisted in choosing the best wedding dress from their collection for your skin tone, body type, theme, season and preference, if you desire. Think of trunk shows as being a princess in the run-up to becoming the queen on your wedding. This means that you may have the chance to try on dresses that are not otherwise available in stores yet. Oftentimes, the sample in the trunk show is the only one in existence of its kind.
What is hot will vary from one part of the country to the next, so your local salon may not carry all of these samples in their usual collection. Regional styles definitely vary. For instance, a bridal salon in Dallas will carry very different dresses from the same designer as one in Boston. This means that if you are looking for a simple dress in Dallas, or a big fancy one in Boston, the trunk show could be your chance to find that special dress.
The stores will bring in a trunk show from a gown designer that they do not currently carry to see if their brides like them. So you might get to see gowns from a designer who is not normally available in your local market. There are some other things that make trunk shows a lot of fun. Often a representative from the company will come with the gowns, and occasionally, the designer herself might make an appearance.
You should select bridesmaid dresses that are not only complementary to your wedding dress and overall wedding theme, but you also need to consider whether your choice of dress is also affordable for your Bridesmaids Trunk Show, who often don't have the same budget as you do for your dress. If your bridesmaids cannot afford a fancy dress, you should pay for them yourself rather than force them to forfeit their role in your wedding. More than one wedding has been ruined because of hurt feelings, and it's easy to overcome them if you show a little sensitivity to your bridesmaids' needs.
