A perfect experience

My first time trying on dresses and it was such an amazing experience from the moment I walked in the door. Their dresses are beautiful and the staff was lovely and a dream to work with. They ask so many questions to find the perfect dress but to also know more about you. I felt like they truly cared about me. I had an appointment elsewhere after and it was the exact opposite of Ava Laureen. I went right back and purchased my dress. And it was a beautiful dress.

The best bridal shop in town!!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at the Ava Laurenne Bride! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel special and welcomed. Brittany, in particular, was absolutely amazing during my Princess Treatment experience.

She walked me through every step of the process, helping me choose the perfect dress and veil while keeping my budget in mind. I never felt pressured to overspend; instead, she focused on finding options that fit my vision and budget perfectly.

The entire experience was memorable and joyful, and I left feeling like a true princess. If you’re looking for a wonderful place to find your wedding dress, I highly recommend this shop! You won’t be disappointed!

The absolute best!

I planned on going to Ava Laurénne Bride years before getting engaged. Knowing ALB is the largest bridal boutique in Virginia, my plan was to take advantage of the National Bridal Sale during the month of July. I ended up getting engaged on July 29th, which happened to be the last day of the sale, so I just missed it. I talked to the stylist that runs their Instagram a few times to discuss various concerns and she eased ALL of my worries. The day of my appointment, my stylist was Abi, and she was the BEST!! I felt like we were lifelong friends just catching up! Abi listened to my vision and found dresses that were perfect, but also dresses that were a little different. I was thankful that she knew when to bring the dresses that were outside of my vision so that I could still see them just in case. When I was torn between two dresses, Abi never questioned my idea of adding a belt, and agreed with it. Sure enough, once she added the cathedral veil, I knew that dress was the one! The experience at ALB is better than anything I’ve seen on TLC and I would encourage anyone to go to the Fredericksburg, VA location or check out the new location in SC. I am so happy to be an Ava Laurénne Bride and love that I can go back to visit whenever! I’ve even thought about trying to work there part time to help other brides find their dream dress.
