A handful of weekends a year, we bring in gowns you won't see any other time — full designer collections, limited-edition pieces, and dresses you'd normally have to fly to New York to try. Private appointments only, and they fill quickly.
Two kinds of events, both worth planning your appointment around.
During a trunk show, the designer sends us gowns from their newest collection that aren't yet in stores. It's an opportunity to be the first to try these new styles.
Trunk shows are the single best weekend to buy a gown from that designer. Trunk-show pricing is typically 10% off, and if your dress is one of the visiting gowns, you order it before it leaves.
A spotlight is smaller than a trunk show, but just as worth booking. For a day or two, we turn the boutique over to one designer — their current in-store collection, their newest arrivals, and an in-depth conversation about fit, construction, and what makes their work different.
Perfect if you already know you're drawn to a specific designer, or if you want more time than a regular appointment gives to really understand one house's point of view before you decide.
Appointments open about 6 weeks before each event. Email or call to get on the early-access list and we'll reach out the day booking opens.

Know roughly what you're drawn to — a silhouette, a vibe, a designer. The weekends move fast, and a little direction unlocks a lot.
Trunk-show pricing is only available to brides who order their gown during the event. If it's the one, this is the weekend to commit.
Even on event weekends, your appointment is one-on-one. The boutique stays private. The only difference is the collection is bigger.
Send Chantel a note and tell her which designers you're saving. When a trunk show or spotlight gets scheduled, you'll hear about it before the public calendar goes live.
