The Crystal Bride has the pleasure of hosting another preview show from one of our top designers; Essense of Australia!
You may be asking yourself, what is a preview show? Are there discounts? How long do the dresses take to come in? Do I need an appointment? Below are some helpful answers and tips to attending an event like this!
What is a preview show?
A preview show is an in store event where the designer ships their newest collection of gowns to our store for a limited amount of time. These gowns have not hit the market yet and often go through a review process before making the final collection. The designer of these gowns is in attendance which makes for an exciting, once in a lifetime opportunity. These gowns are the hottest trends and most up and coming styles that you can find in the marketplace. That being said, photos of these gowns are a no-no due to the exclusivity of their designs.
Are there discounts?
Typically there are no discounts at a preview show. The main purpose of the show is to expose real brides to exclusive gowns and allow them to meet the designer of the collection.
How long does it take for the dresses to come in?
A preview gown is often going to take 6+ months to come in. You need to allow plenty of time for alterations, so we typically recommend shopping no later than 9 months prior to your wedding date.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes! YES YES!! These events can get a little busy due to the hype and exciting nature of meeting the designer. That being said, try to limit your group to your most important guests.
