What is a Bridal Trunk Show?
A trunk show is a special event in a bridal boutique where they invite a designer to showcase their collection. Sometimes it’s a one-day event, but for particularly popular collections, it could last for multiple days. Often the designers themselves, or stylists from the fashion house will be on hand to help you find the right dress.
Trunk shows are a particularly good opportunity to check out a visiting designer whose full collections aren’t stocked in your city.
Expert Tips for at the Allure Women Trunk Shows
So, now you know what bridal trunk shows are, how do you get the most out of shopping at one? Here’s where bridal beauty expert LaTonya of Elite Secrets Bridal steps in.
1. What Lies Beneath
Feel your best underneath your wedding dress. The appropriate undergarments will not only help you feel your best; they will help your dress look the best. Opt for nude-colored underwear and a great strapless bra. Bring your undies to the appointment to see how they work with your desired dress.
2. Bring a Companion
Take a trusted friend—someone you trust that will give you sound advice. Honest encouragement, and constructive feedback can be extremely helpful and great company can up the factor for your bridal dress appointment.
Leave the whole entourage, though. Too many conflicting opinions can leave you confused and stressed.
3. Mind Your Budget
Purchasing your dress at the trunk show is a great way to spend a little less on your dream wedding dress. We’re giving you 10% off your Allure Women gown and a free bridal hair and makeup trial (valued at $150). But you MUST say, “Yes” to the dress to redeem these goodies.
4. Necklines, Shape, and Silhouettes Oh My
There are so many variations to a wedding dress. Have an idea of what neckline, shape and silhouette you like best. Research the different styles, so you’re familiar will the lingo, too.
You will soon find you have narrowed down your style, and what is flattering for your figure.
5. How High?
Bear in mind the height of your heels you plan to wear on your wedding day when you begin your dress shopping.
Keep in mind that hems cannot be lengthened, only shortened, so it’s a good idea to take the maximum heel height with you.
