What is a Trunk Show?
A bridal trunk show is a special event at a bridal boutique where a specific designer’s collection is featured for a limited time. It’s an exciting opportunity for you as a newly engaged bride to view and try on wedding dresses from the latest collections of a designer, in this case, Otaduy, that may not always be available in the store.
Here’s what makes trunk shows special:
- Exclusive Access: You get a sneak peek at new or exclusive styles that aren’t always carried in-store.
- More Options: There’s a wider range of dresses from the featured designer than what the boutique typically stocks.
- Special Savings: Often, there are special promotions or discounts offered if you purchase a dress from the trunk show.
If you have your eye on a particular designer, attending a trunk show can give you the best insight into their range and possibly even find the dress of your dreams with some exclusive benefits.
For this particular event at Rock & Lac, all the Otaduy best selling gowns will be available to try on in a UK sample size 10, with some size 8s and 12s also available.
