Bride Advice: Trunk Shows and Sample Sales

Trunk Shows and Sample Sales are great ways for brides to get a first look at new designs from their favorite designers. At many events you get to talk with a representative from the company or even the designer! In addition, many of the designers offer discounts!

Now before you run out and start shopping there are a few things to keep in mind.
1.     Make sure you make an appointment. Many of these events are by appointment only and don’t accept walk-ins.
2.     You must be ready to purchase the dress the same day. Needless to say Trunk Shows and Sample Sales are not for indecisive brides.
3.     Leave the entourage at home. Only bring the one or two people whose opinion you trust the most.

You can find out when your favorite designer is having a Trunk Show or Sample Sale by visiting their website. Also, you can give a call to your favorite bridal salon to get a list of upcoming events.
