What is a Trunkshow?

A Trunk Show can be the exclusive opportunity to try on the full collection from a bridal boutique’s roster of designers. Often, there will be unseen looks from their latest collections in addition to the core lines, which will be on site to try on for a limited time frame. In many instances, it may also be the first time a designer has shown at that boutique. Booking is essential.

A Trunk Show is a rare and exciting opportunity to meet the designer or a brand representative in person, who will be at your side throughout a personalised appointment to help you choose the dress of your dreams and answer any questions as well as make bespoke alterations or special additions to your look. 

The Story Of. brings you a roundup of the UK’s most fashion-forward multi brand bridal boutiques, and their 2022 trunk shows.
