Preview of Our Fall Trunk Show Calendar

We are so jazzed about our Fall lineup of trunk shows! If you are unfamiliar with these special shopping opportunities, Trunk Shows are special in-store promotions or sales events when gown designers send expanded offerings of their new line to stores for brides to preview, try on and order. Often, salons will offer a special promotion or discount during a trunk show. One of the best things about trunk shows is the opportunity to see and shop the latest wedding gown designs, straight off the runway.

The name "trunk shows" comes from how the gowns used to be transported from salon to salon - in trunks! Here is a sneak peek of our Fall Trunk Show schedule, so mark your calendars!

Two Bride Favorites Featured During Trunk Shows this Weekend

We're celebrating the first weekend in February with trunk shows highlighting two of brides' most beloved designers.

StarDust will host a show for Alvina Valenta, where a representative of designer Jessica Williams will make an appearance.

Alvina Valenta bridal gowns are known for their timeless elegance, sophistication and most especially their attention to detail. All of the dresses are finished by hand, including the beading and their signature hand rolled roses. Every hem is finished with lace right down to the petticoats. Alvina Valenta bridal gowns are made of the finest silks, satin shantung, and satin organza to name a few.

Schedule your appointment now to see these gorgeous new gowns by going online or calling the StarDust salon: 972.781.1619.

Over at LuLu's in the Dallas Design District, we'll be featuring the newest gowns from Pronovias.

Hailing from the world-renowned Spanish design house, Pronovias gowns are glamorous, sophisticated, bold and majestic. Innovators in the bridal industry, it was the Pronovias Group who brought the “prêt-á-porter” or ready-to-wear concept from the fashion world into bridal. Pronovias gowns are decidedly feminine, designed to celebrate the female shape. Whether simply elegant, lavishly embellished or lace covered, Pronovias gowns are constructed with the utmost quality and are always fashion forward.

What is a trunk show exactly, you might be wondering? Sometimes we, who live and breathe weddings all the time, forget that terms and events that are common knowledge to us may not be so obvious to new brides embarking on their wedding planning journey. A bridal gown trunk show is one of these things.

Ubiquitous to the bridal industry, trunk shows are special in-store promotions or sales events when gown designers send expanded offerings of their new line to stores for brides to preview, try on and order. Often, salons will offer a special promotion or discount during a trunk show. By the way, you might be wondering how these events came to be called "trunk shows." The name comes from how the gowns used to be transported from salon to salon - in trunks!
