We are ecstatic at Lotus Bridal to be hosting two amazing trunk shows between now and December for some of our Ukrainian designers. Our Lotus Bridal exclusive designers, Mistrelli and Oksana Mukha, will be showcasing their brand-new collections in our salons.

What is a trunk show?

We know bridal shopping is a unique experience, and there are often terms a first-time bride may not be familiar with! So, what exactly is a trunk show? Let’s talk about it.

For those new to the term, a trunk show is a unique event where designers showcase their latest collections directly to brides. It’s an exclusive opportunity to see and try on stunning gowns that may not yet be available in stores. In short, our future Lotus brides will be the first to try on brand-new collections by these exclusive designers. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience to make shopping for your wedding dress unforgettable.

Exclusivity?

What does it mean when we say a designer is exclusive to our salon? It means that you won’t be able to find this designer and their gorgeous gowns anywhere else! Trying on these gowns is an experience few brides get to have, and we’re so excited that our brides get to fall in love with these gowns just as we have.

Oksana Mukha

“Oksana Mukha is the first Ukrainian brand of bridal and occasion wear that incorporates haute couture elements in its collections. Founded by Ukrainian designer Oksana Mukha, this family business combines rich experience and technology with a fresh perspective on fashion and current trends. Dresses by Oksana Mukha not only win the hearts of brides worldwide, but they’ve also been chosen by many influential and famous personalities, members of the royal family in France, the imperial house in Tokyo, and opera divas performing on the stages of prominent theaters.”

Oksana Mukha creates a range of dresses for every bride, no matter her style. From stunning satins to dazzling sparkles, she has a dream dress for every bride. Her designs will be at our Manhattan location from October 24th until November 18th. Don’t miss your opportunity to say yes to one of these masterfully crafted gowns.

Mistrelli

“Mistrelli House of Design is your guide into the world of wedding fashion and style. With many years of experience in the wedding fashion market, Mistrelli is a wedding gown manufacturer with its own production line. Our team is made up of true professionals and experts in their field. We invite you into the unbelievable world of wedding fashion and reveal to you all the secrets of true style.

We create a real dream dress for each bride, emphasizing her uniqueness and natural beauty through the perfect union of elegance and uncompromising luxury.

It’s not just dresses—it’s a manifestation of art in every detail.”

Mistrelli is a designer we hold near and dear to our hearts, as many of our Lotus Bridal consultants have said yes to their dresses for their wedding day! Gowns by Mistrelli are guaranteed showstoppers, whether you choose a fitted mermaid gown or make a statement with a ruffled overskirt. These gowns are like no other, combining traditional bridal elements like lace with modern touches like sparkle, cutouts, detachable elements, and much more. Every bride deserves to say yes to her dream dress!
