Our Guide to Trunk Shows

27th October, 2020

With just two weeks until our Pronovias 2021 Collection Trunk Show, we thought it might be a good idea to tell you a little more about what you can expect from this event.

Trunk show 101

Some of you may have seen this term being thrown around on the beautiful Instagram feed of your favourite boutique, but I’m sure it’s fair to say that many of us nodded, smiled and were then hit with images of Victorian ladies pulling wedding dresses out of huge wooden chests…No? Just me?

Well, it isn’t far wrong (minus the Victorian ladies…) - the term does come from the fact that these dresses are normally transported to events in trunks! Just not of the wooden kind…

So, what is a trunk show?

Well, at any one time, we stock a selection of dresses from a number of different designers. However as much we would love to stock all of their stunning dresses, we just don’t have the space. So, every so often, we will host a trunk show for a particular designer where we will have more of their dresses in the boutique for you to try on.
