If you're a plus-size bride starting your wedding dress journey, chances are you've seen us mention a “trunk show” or two at Curve Bridal Collection. But what exactly is a bridal trunk show and why do they matter so much for cuvry brides?

As Florida’s only boutique exclusively for plus-size wedding dresses, we design every trunk show experience around celebration, confidence, and access. These special events are more than just fun weekends—they’re an opportunity to explore an extended selection of designer gowns in larger sizes, often not found anywhere else.

If you’re wondering whether a bridal trunk show in Jacksonville is worth attending, this post is here to walk you through what they are and why they can be a game-changer when shopping for your stunning dress.

A Trunk Show Brings the Full Collection to You

At Curve, we carefully curate a selection of gowns from each of our designer partners. That means we typically carry the most popular styles in plus-size samples sized 14-36+, tailored to our brides' preferences and needs.

But during a trunk show, the designer sends us their full collection, giving you the chance to try on plus-size gowns we don’t usually carry in-store. This means more styles, more silhouettes, more sparkly details to fall in love with—all available in inclusive sample sizes you can actually try on, not just imagine.

Limited-Time Perks (and Yes, Sometimes Discounts!)

Designers love to celebrate the launch of their new collections, and that often comes with special perks for brides who say yes during a trunk show. That could mean a discount, a bonus accessory, or a complimentary customization available only during that weekend.

Because trunk shows are short and sweet, these exclusive offers are only available to brides who book and shop during the event. If you’re seriously searching for the one, it’s the perfect time to say yes with confidence.

A Personalized Experience (With a Little Extra Magic)

Trunk shows at Curve are still private, by-appointment experiences. You’ll work with one of our expert stylists who understands curvy bridal styling, body shapes, and the emotions that come with finding your dress. 

What makes trunk show weekends even more special is the added energy, new arrivals, and that spark of excitement that comes with knowing you’re seeing one-of-a-kind gowns before anyone else.

You’ll still have our full support, spacious fitting rooms, and warm, no-pressure atmosphere. The only difference? You’ll have even more gowns to fall in love with.

Say Yes With More Confidence

For many of our brides, trunk shows bring clarity. Being able to try on more styles, more fabrics, and more designers in hard-to-find sizes often makes that final decision feel like a sure thing instead of a maybe. When you’ve seen the full collection and still get that heart-fluttering feeling in one gown, you know it’s the one.

If you’re a plus-size bride in Jacksonville or Northeast Florida looking for the best time to find your dress, attending a trunk show is one of the most exciting and empowering ways to start the journey.
