Planning your big day is full of exciting moments, but let’s be real—wedding planning comes with a learning curve. Between figuring out what a “first look” actually means to understanding the difference between a mermaid and a trumpet silhouette, bridal lingo can feel like its own language. One term you definitely want to know? Trunk show.
If you’re not sure what a trunk show is or why you should be all in for one, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this fabulous bridal shopping event (and why it might just be your ticket to finding the one).
So, What Exactly Is a Trunk Show?
A trunk show is a special in-store event where bridal boutiques showcase an extended collection from a specific designer. Think of it as an exclusive sneak peek into styles you won’t typically find in the boutique’s everyday selection. Designers send in styles from their latest collection so you can try on gowns that may not be available elsewhere.
In other words, it’s a bride’s dream come true – a chance to explore more options, enjoy exclusive perks, and see the designer’s creative vision up close.
Why Should You Attend a Trunk Show?
Still debating whether to book to that trunk show appointment? Here are a few reasons why you don’t want to miss out:
1. Exclusive Access to More Dresses
During a trunk show, you’ll have access to more styles than what Bon Bon Belle typically offers, including:
Brand-new designs fresh off the runway.
Limited-edition gowns that haven’t hit all stores yet.
Extended size ranges for every bride to feel confident.
It’s like having the VIP backstage pass to bridal fashion – except instead of a concert, it’s all about the perfect dress!
2. Special Perks
Who doesn’t love an upgraded experience? Trunk shows often include exclusive perks like:
Exciting upgrades (like adding custom sleeves or extra sparkle).
Champagne toasts with your bridal crew!
That’s right – attending a trunk show can help you snag the dress while staying on creating an experience of a lifetime.
3. Personalized Experience
All Bon Bon Belle trunk shows are by appointment only, which means you’ll get a more personalized shopping experience. Stylists are there to focus on you, helping you:
Narrow down styles that fit your vibe.
Try on the latest designer gowns.
Create a vision for your wedding day look.
It’s basically your moment to feel like the star of your own bridal fashion show.
Pro Tips for Attending a Trunk Show
Ready to jump into the trunk show magic? Here are some tips to make the most of your experience:
1. Book Your Appointment Early
Trunk shows are super popular and spots fill up fast. Once you see an event announcement, grab your calendar and schedule your visit ASAP.

Find out which designer will be featured and check out their styles online beforehand. This will help you narrow down what you love and save time during your appointment.
