Current gowns from sought-after designers including Essense of Australia, Luna Novias, Alma Novia and Maggie Sottero are available at heavily reduced prices, with dresses ranging from £500 to £2,000 depending on their original RRP.

Appointments are still required to ensure every bride receives the boutique’s signature one-to-one service, so booking ahead is strongly recommended for the best selection.

"We're a shop full of women so we always ensure our brides are made to feel comfortable," Kudos Bridal Dunfermline manager Megan Carberry says. "Shopping on your period is a vulnerable experience but we're here to help – from giving a bride a break where she needs it to grabbing a glass of water or cup of tea, we're here to make everyone feel as at ease as possible!" 


What is a bridal trunk show?

A bridal trunk show is a special event hosted by a bridal boutique where a designer’s latest collection is showcased for a limited time.

These events often feature gowns that are not part of the store’s regular inventory, giving brides the opportunity to try on and order exclusive styles.

Trunk shows frequently include a representative from the designer or brand, offering expert advice and insight into the collection.

Many also provide perks such as discounts or customisations if you order your dress during the event. It’s a fantastic way to experience the full breadth of a designer’s work and find a gown that feels truly unique to you and your style.

How do I book an appointment for a bridal trunk show in Scotland?

Booking an appointment for a trunk show is straightforward. Most bridal boutiques require you to contact them directly by phone or email, though many also offer online booking through their websites.

Spaces are often limited, so it’s best to book as early as possible. Be prepared to provide basic information, such as your wedding date, preferred style, and budget, to help the boutique tailor your experience.

What should I bring to a wedding dress shopping event?

Whether you're attending an individual appointment or attending a sale or trunk show, you’ll want to make the most of any and all of the time you have in the boutique. 

That means bringing with you everything you think you’ll need to feel comfortable and ready to make a decision – from the right friends to the right underwear.

We cover all of that and more in our guide to stress-free wedding dress shopping.
