Trunk Shows and Events
Trunk shows are a unique opportunity for brides who love a particular designer to view a more extensive selection of that designer’s gowns. While every salon carries a broad range of styles, they do not order any collection in its entirety. Trunk shows often feature the full collection of a new season and best sellers from seasons past, giving the bride variety that would not typically be available in stores.
Special in-store incentives will be offered on gowns purchased during the trunk show event.
By appointment only, please schedule online or call 312.787.0920.
