• What Is A trunk Show?

    By representing an exclusive designer for a limited time , it allows us to share with you just what is so special about these gowns and their finish. We showcase styles available nowhere else and AT NO OTHER TIME OF YEAR.

    Carte Blanche Bride is the Australian flagship store for each of these brands over this golden event. Trunk Shows run on an appointment basis, but unlike other bridal appointments, we begin with a short consultation about who you are, what you like to wear day-to-day and the location and dress code of your wedding. At Carte Blanche we have over 14 years experience working with clients brides to find the perfect dress for them.
