WHAT IS A TRUNK SHOW?
A trunk show is a special event where a designer or brand showcases a curated selection of their latest bridal gown collections for a limited period, typically a weekend or a few days. These events are designed to provide brides-to-be with a unique and exclusive opportunity to view and try on wedding dresses that are not yet widely available in stores. There are so many benefits to visiting a Trunk Show at HALO & WREN.
Exclusive Access to New Designs: Trunk shows offer brides the chance to see and try on the latest wedding dress designs before they are widely released or stocked by bridal boutiques. This is a great way to stay ahead of bridal fashion trends.
Variety of Styles: Trunk shows often feature a wide range of styles, allowing brides to explore various silhouettes, fabrics, and details. This variety can help you discover a gown that perfectly matches your vision and body type.
Direct Interaction with Designers or Representatives: In many trunk shows, the designer or a representative from the brand is present. This allows brides to ask questions about the dresses, get styling advice, and even request customizations or alterations.
Customization Options: Some designers may offer customisation options during trunk shows. This means you can request changes to the design, such as altering the neckline, adding sleeves, or changing the colour, to create a truly unique gown.
Potential Discounts: Halo & Wren may offer special pricing or discounts during trunk shows to encourage brides to make a purchase. This can be a cost-effective way to buy a designer gown.
Personalised Experience: Visiting Halo and Wren during a trunk show means you get to try on the designer that is being featured in the Trunk Show and the remaining gowns already in store.
Early Booking: If you find your dream gown at a trunk show, you can often place an order before the dresses become widely available. This can be crucial if you have a tight wedding timeline, this also means in some cases you will receive your gown before it’s permanently stocked at the store.
Networking and Inspiration: Attending a trunk show can also be a social and inspirational experience. Brides can meet others who are going through the same process, and it's an excellent opportunity to share ideas and insights.
Accessories and Styling: In addition to wedding dresses, trunk shows may feature bridal accessories like veils, headpieces, and jewelry. You can complete your bridal look with matching accessories.
Different designers: Halo and Wren will feature guest designers in Trunk Shows that are not currently stocked in the U.K, so you will be trying on gowns not seen in the country before.
To make the most of a trunk show, it's essential to schedule an appointment with the boutique, bring along friends or family whose opinions you value, and keep an open mind. The opportunity to explore fresh designs and have a personalised shopping experience makes trunk shows a valuable and exciting option for brides-to-be in search of the perfect wedding gown.
