Save the dates, February 28 through March 15 for a two-week trunk show. We told you it would be epic!

What’s all the buzz about bridal trunk shows?

Trunk shows are unique because the designer brings their entire collection (yes, in trunks!), and provides a personal preview and consultation.

Salons typically carry a handful of designs by a specific designer. Yet, at the trunk show, you’ll have a chance to browse all the styles of your favorite designer—sometimes even before they’re available to the mainstream public.

What’s more, at an Elite Secrets Bridal trunk shows you’ll work one-on-one with a fashion expert. They’ll personally assess your figure and wedding style and recommend the best gowns from the collection. Your bridal stylist may suggest custom changes and offer special pricing on orders placed during the trunk show.

Think of a trunk show as your own princess moment.

Ready to book your appointment? Here’s how to attend this event and say yes to your Edith Élan wedding dress:

If this is your first bridal trunk show, we know wedding dress shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But fear not, we’re here to help!

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 ATTENDING A BRIDAL TRUNK SHOW

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 gown. 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.

Ready to attend the trunk show? Here’s how to attend this event and say yes to your dream wedding dress:

Book your appointment online at EliteSecretsBridal.com/contact or call 410.727.7000.

Grab your bride tribe. We’ll bring the champagne!

We will be celebrating Cristiano Lucci for an entire weekend, Friday, October 18th through Sunday, October 20th –it’s a can’t miss event for brides. Get a first glance at this exclusive trunk show at the Elite Secrets Bridal showroom.

For the fashion-conscious bride to be, Cristiano Lucci ignites the hopes and dreams of looking red carpet ready on a practical budget. The brand’s classic semi couture range promises to keep up with the latest trends of the glitterati, minus the expensive price tags. And even for the less dramatically inclined, Cristiano Lucci promises a new destination for timeless staples.

No ESB Trunk Show will be complete without surprises. You know how we love to spoil our brides. So, to make this trunk show even more special, we’re giving you 10% off your Cristiano Lucci gown and a free bridal hair and makeup trial (valued at $150). But you MUST say, “Yes” to the dress to redeem these goodies.

Beyond extraordinary gowns, shopping with Elite Secrets Bridal supports a worthy cause! A portion of the proceeds from retail sales of the bridal trunk show will go to For 3 Sisters, a Maryland-based nonprofit organization with a mission to raise awareness and improve the quality of life for men and women affected by breast cancer.

“For 3 Sisters’ commitment to men and women affected by breast cancer is unparalleled,” said LaTonya Turnage, bridal expert, and owner of Elite Secrets. “The organization’s core program, Road to Resources, provides resources for everyday needs so those affected can focus on fighting, surviving, and healing. Working with For 3 Sisters and knowing that our dresses are making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer is everything to me.”

Imagine wedding dresses that will have your guests talking from the moment they lay eyes on you. Whether you plan to tie the knot in a garden ceremony or say I do in a city ballroom, this trunk show is THE place to find your perfect wedding dress.

8 Expert Tips for Wedding Dress Shopping at a Bridal Trunk Show

Wedding dress shopping can be a bit overwhelming. Not only are there so many choices (so many gorgeous dresses!) but the pressure is on to find a dress you love, look and feel fabulous in, and comes in (ideally!) under budget. Add a sample sale or trunk show into the mix, and we’re officially bewildered. But fear not, we’re here to help!

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.

8 Expert Tips for Shopping at Sample Sales and 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.

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

Know your budget! Bridal trunk shows often offer a discretionary discount (usually 10%) off gowns ordered over that weekend.

It’s a great way to spend a little less in the event you find your dream wedding dress.

4. Do Your Homework

Research the designer first – for a trunk show the boutique will primarily present the featured designer only.

Make sure you are interested in their styles and silhouettes to get the most from your experience.

5. 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.

6. 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 hemlines cannot be lengthened, only shortened, so it’s a good idea to take the maximum heel height with you.

7. Ask the Expert

At a trunk show, if you are lucky the designer or stylist may be there in person, take full advantage of expert availability and ask for styling advice.

With their experience and knowledge, you are likely to find that they know what suits you—sometimes better than you! Check out Elite Secrets Bridal’s upcoming trunk shows here.

8. Consider Your Timing

Know your time frame. Some designer dresses need up to eight months to be completed and altered.

Learn beforehand, how long the designer needs for your dress and let your stylist know if you’re in a time crunch.
