Say Yes Before Everyone Else: Your Guide to the Fall 2026 Trunk Shows at Bridal by Lori

Calling all fashionista brides: this is your moment.

A trunk show is your chance to say yes to next year’s wedding dresses before they ever hit bridal stores. And this fall, we have an incredible lineup waiting for you.

What is a Trunk Show?

A trunk show is a special viewing of the latest designs from our favorite bridal designers. For one weekend, sometimes two, we bring in an exclusive collection straight from the runway. Dresses that walked the runway this season and will be walking down the aisle for years come to Bridals by Lori just for our brides.

Here’s how it works: a designer ships their latest collection, fresh out of the atelier and off the runway, directly to our store for an exclusive sneak peek at the newest bridal designs. These gowns don’t stick around long: most trunk show dresses are only in town for about 48, and might not even make it to the designer’s official collections. Fashion girlies, this is a once in a blue moon to say yes to the newest bridal trends.

Designer Event vs. Trunk Show

Every so often, we’re spoiled with something even more special: a Designer Event. During these select weekends, the designers themselves come to town along with their dresses. This is an incredible opportunity for brides to talk through the designs, even possible customizations, directly with the person who created it.

We love having designers in town. The chance to pick their brains on current bridal trends is a true treat, and it's an experience you simply can't get anywhere else.
