We are so honored to be hosting Martin Liana’s Designer Preview June 13-14. Martina Liana is currently creating her newest collection and the design team wants feedback on each of the dresses before they debut at bridal market in August. Brides that join us for the Designer Preview will get to try on and purchase never before seen gowns while giving us and our Martina Liana rep (Zoe - she’s the best!!) feedback on the Trunk Show gowns to send back to the ML Design Team!
Gowns will range from $3,000 - $5,000
Important things to note:
Brides ordering from this Trunk Show must be getting married January 19, 2026 and later. Each dress from this event will take up to 6 months to produce.
We (brides, guests, Elle James staff) are not allowed to photograph any of the gowns in the Designer Preview show. Because these gowns have not been released to the public yet, Martina Liana will not allow them to be photographed to avoid any potential leaks of their upcoming collection. If you say yes to a gown from the Trunk Show, Martina Liana will make an exception to allow you to take photos in your dress. (Any dresses you try on outside of the Trunk Show can be photographed!)
As Martina Liana is finalizing their collection, some of the gowns brides will try on at this event may not make it into the final collection - BUT they will make the dress just for you. This means you could be one of the only brides in the world to wear one of these designs!! Because of this intricate process, brides who say yes to a Preview Trunk Show gown will have to order by the EOD Saturday, June 14th, because Elle James Bridal is required to have all ordered placed by the end of our Trunk Show before sending the gowns back to the design team.
If you plan to shop at multiple bridal shops, we totally understand. However, because of the nature of this event, we recommend going to all other appointments before this event so you are ready to say yes when you do find something in the Designer Preview Trunk Show since you unfortunately aren’t able to “sleep on it” with these gowns.
