During a trunk show, designers will send us additional gowns from their latest collections for a few days. Appointments are required for trunk shows to ensure as many brides as possible can see the gowns while they are at the store.
We advise that if you plan to attend a trunk show, that you be prepared to order your gown at your appointment as these gowns typically only stay in the store for a very short time.
Purchasing incentives are often available at trunk shows while the gowns are still at the store.
Sample sales give brides the opportunity to buy the sample gown, or display model of a wedding gown off the rack, usually for a discounted price.
Our store typically carries one of each gown, and we cannot hold sale merchandise, so we advise brides to be prepared to make a decision at the time of their appointment.
Our annual sample sale starts August 1st and runs through the end of the month at our Scottsdale store! Brides will make an appointment as usual, but will have the opportunity to choose to buy the sample at a discount or place an order at full price. We are offering between 20-60% off the majority sample gowns in store for the entire month of August, and this will be reflected on each gowns tags. (Some styles are excluded from this promotion). Our full price gowns run $3000-$10000. We have one of each style, and when they are gone, they are gone.
These gowns are great for brides on a time crunch or brides who are on a tighter budget. Typically gowns can take 6-8 months to be custom made. The off the rack gowns can be taken the same day.
Some will need minor repairs (small holes/missing beads ect.) but we do a full inspection with you BEFORE you buy, and we have a team of qualified seamstresses that can do this work, (they will give you a quote so you know what to expect). We would never sell a dress that was beyond repair. As will all gowns alterations are usually required and we can make recommendations for a seamstress. Some gowns will need spot cleaning or dry cleaning, and we have several recommendations locally.
Most bridal gowns are a “bridal sample size” 10-12 depending on the designer that is equal to a regular size 6-8 and they are designer to be tailored smaller by 2-3 sizes if needed.
We do have some off the rack dresses in larger sizes that we will also feature this month.
There are over 200 styles at this event, and gowns are from designers including Pnina Tornai, Lazaro, Martina Liana, Enzoani, Pen Liv and Elysee Bridal.
We cannot sell these gowns remotely. An in person appointment is required as we need to inspect the gown with you present.
We cannot hold these gowns, we have one of each style and it is on a first come first served basis. Most of these styles can still be reordered at full price, but some are discontinued. Please message us if you have a specific gown in mind.
