The Icons You Love & A New Chapter Unveiled
There’s something electric about a trunk show — the kind of excitement that starts as a whisper and builds into a flurry of anticipation. And when the trunk show in question involves Made With Love Bridal, a brand synonymous with modern bridal cool, the anticipation is justified.
From the 7th to the 31st of August, Marrime is delighted to exclusively host the Made With Love Trunk Show, featuring not only the brand’s iconic, cult-loved classics but also the much-anticipated Anthology Collection — their boldest, most romantic offering yet.
This is more than just a trunk show. It’s a moment.
The Brand Brides Can’t Stop Talking About
If you’re not already familiar with Made With Love, allow us to introduce you to the label changing the bridal game — one effortlessly confident silhouette at a time.
Founded by Australian designer Carla Jenkins, MWL was born from the real bride experience. When Carla couldn’t find a gown that felt like her, she designed her own. What followed was a global bridal phenomenon: gowns that fuse statement-making femininity with clean lines, daring necklines, sculpting corsetry, and just the right amount of softness.
Think luxurious French crepe, plunging backs, removable sleeves, dramatic trains, and barely-there tulle skirts. MWL has mastered the art of balance — contemporary yet timeless, minimalist yet romantic, polished yet cool. Brides from London to Los Angeles scroll their Instagram feed in search of their dream MWL gown, and now, every one of those styles will be in our boutique for three incredible weeks.
A Marrime Bride Favourite
At Marrime, we’ve long loved the quiet confidence MWL brings to the bridal landscape. There’s a freedom in their design approach — one that gives brides permission to look like themselves, but elevated.
Our stylists have had countless magical moments with MWL brides — that emotional pause when they turn to the mirror and know. It’s no surprise that many of our most unforgettable fittings involved an MWL gown. There’s something powerful in a dress that feels so effortless, yet photographs like a dream.
This trunk show marks a special milestone in our relationship with the brand. We’ve curated and stocked MWL styles for years, but this event is the most extensive edit we’ve ever had under one roof.
The Classics: Iconic for a Reason
The MWL Classics have become bridal icons in their own right. Known by name — and often first name only — these gowns have graced countless aisle moments and Pinterest boards. During the trunk show, brides will have exclusive access to all of the following and more:
Anthology: A New Era for Made With Love
The name says it all — Anthology is a collection of stories. A tribute to the evolution of the MWL bride. And for the first time in the UK, it’s coming to Marrime.
Anthology is the most elevated collection we’ve seen from the brand. It’s moodier. More sculptural. More refined. Think hand-appliquéd lace, daring silhouettes, silk-look fabrics, and elevated details like corseted bodices and detachable elements.
Each gown in the Anthology collection feels like a love letter to modern bridal expression. The kind of gown you try on and immediately envision the entire wedding around — the venue, the veil, the flowers, the afterparty.
Expect the unexpected:
★ Structured bustiers with lace skirts
★ Dramatic styling pieces
★ Oversized floral lace with couture-level detail
★ Convertible sleeves that offer two looks in one
This is Made With Love’s boldest collection yet — and it’s already creating a stir with international stockists, stylists, and brides alike.
What is a Trunk Show & Why It Matters
If you’re new to the bridal world, you may be wondering: What’s a trunk show, and why is everyone talking about it?
A trunk show is a temporary event where a bridal designer sends their full collection — or unreleased new styles — to a boutique for a limited time. In most cases, these gowns aren’t usually available in-store to try on, making the experience truly special.
For three weeks only, Marrime will have every MWL classic and pieces from the Anthology collection, giving you the chance to explore gowns otherwise only available in Australia or select international stockists.
What’s more — trunk show orders often come with exclusive perks and priority delivery timelines, so if you’re planning a 2025 or early 2026 wedding, this is your moment.
The Appointment Experience at Marrime
We do things a little differently at Marrime. Our boutique — tucked away in leafy Jesmond — is intentionally curated to feel like stepping into a bridal editorial. Every appointment is private, one-to-one, and led by a stylist who genuinely wants to get to know you — your style, your story, and your bridal vision.
During the MWL Trunk Show, you’ll be able to explore the full collection, try on multiple styles, and get expert advice on fit, accessories, and customisations. We’re not here to rush you — we’re here to help you discover what feels right. Whether that’s a gown you’ve had bookmarked for a year, or something entirely unexpected that changes everything.
The Marrime x MWL Moment
The synergy between Marrime and Made With Love is effortless — relaxed luxe, considered details, gowns that speak to the modern bride’s lifestyle and taste. Every fitting with MWL feels like a creative collaboration: your story, our styling, and a collection that’s anything but ordinary. This trunk show is a chance to create your moment, in a gown designed for exactly that.
