The Celebration Starts Now
The Experience of a Lifetime
The NEW way of gown shopping is here.
A customized experience that is everything you want, and nothing that you don’t. From your choice of beverage, to how many guests you choose, to your personal celebration in our Forever Lounge after finding your gown — every part of your gown story is one that you are writing, and we love making your story come to life!
The journey of finding your wedding dress should match who you are. It shouldn’t feel like pressure. It should be fun, relaxed, full of options of styles, sizes and prices, focused on who you are and on enjoying the special moments with the ones you love all around, full of laughter (and maybe even sweet tears), unhurried, and full of surprises that make you smile.
It should be like writing the most beautiful love story of all time.
And truly, that is what you are doing. Your story is being written, and you are holding the pen.
"Ava Laurénne Bride is the epitome of a 1st class experience. My experience here surpasses that of every other bridal shop that I've visited. Wendy is simply amazing! During my visit, she was welcoming, warm, patient, knowledgeable and fun! She made me feel so comfortable, as if I had known her for years. I didn't feel pressured or rushed--instead she took the time to "create an experience" with each gown I tried on, helping me dress and accessorize followed by the "the big reveal" in front of my family. The shop is beautiful, the gowns are beautiful, and more importantly Wendy is a beautiful person who will create a one of a kind amazing experience!"
After you Become an
Ava Laurénne Bride
Our brides love to use the private Ava Laurénne Brides Facebook group to help them gather great advice as they plan the rest of their wedding. The Forever Lounge is for our brides to bring a friend, come say “hello” whenever they want...including all the treats and drinks in our vault too. We love it when our brides wear their black ALB v-neck. But above all the perks and benefits of being an Ava Laurénne Bride, we hope you realize how unique and special your story is, and that we are so blessed that you chose to write a small chapter of it with us.

About
Ava Laurénne Bride began in 2012...
…and is named after Ava Laurénne Rivera, the 10 year-old daughter of Wendy Rivera (one of the shoppe's owners). From the beginning, we have believed that every bride deserves to have the experience of a lifetime as she searches for the dress of her dreams. Everything we do stems from that belief. From the grand yet intimate atmosphere of our shoppe to the way we celebrate every bride who walks in, we are thrilled to be able to help brides find the gown they will wear when they say, "I do."
"This adorable boutique is unbelievable! I went to a few bridal shoppes before ALB (including Kleinfeld in NYC) and my experience at ALB exceeded all of my expectations and blew the other places away! I had made a last minute appointment and didn't know what to expect, but when I left ALB, I not only left with my dream dress, but a wonderful memory. ALB made my dress shopping experience incredible. They are extremely caring, thoughtful, and made me feel like I was the most special person in the world. I would highly recommend Ava Laurénne Bride to any future brides, you will not be disappointed."

The girls at Ava Laurenne are AMAZING. Jeri was my consultant today and I could not have had a better experience.

First place I went to look for my wedding dress. Patty was amazing, and she pieced together my perfect dress and made my vision come true! I instantly fell in love with every detail she chose, which made my dress classic and elegant! I was referred by a friend and will continue to refer people in the future. Everyone was so nice and helpful and I throughly enjoyed my experience!
Cannot recommend this place enough! Seriously...if you like the show Say Yes to the Dress you will get that experience times ten. I felt so beautiful when the owner found my dream dress.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT KIND OF PRICES CAN I EXPECT IN YOUR STORE?
From the words of one of our brides: "When my sister brought me in here, we looked at each other and thought, 'O great, we will never be able to afford anything in here', because it was just so beautiful! Then, we had the best bridal gown shopping experience — one that we had not had anywhere else, and I walked out with the dress of my dreams — right off the rack — in my price range! It was perfect!" Best moment of the day: when this bride cried when she saw herself in "her" dress. Special day. Regular order gowns start at $1,200. Our Clearance Gowns begin at $999.
DO YOU SELL GOWNS OFF THE RACK?
Yes. We have a wide selection of gowns that we sell off the rack at a discounted price from 20% off to 50% off.
DO YOU TAKE WALK-INS?
Yes! If we have a dressing room available, you can try on gowns!! Saturdays can be a bit full, so appointments are better for Saturdays - but if you want to come in on a whim, come on in!
WHAT SIZES ARE YOUR SAMPLES?
It is one of our main goals to have samples in sizes that every bride can try! We have samples from size 6 to size 30. Our average size for our samples is a 12-14. Bridal gowns tend to run small, so be prepared to fit into a gown that may be 1-2 sizes higher in number than you normally wear. (If you are a size 2, you will be a 4 or 6 in bridal:) Don’t ask us why designers do this — it is just European standard sizes — that’s about all we can tell you on that one!! Wish they would switch it around — if I’m a size 14, and I fit a size 10, THAT’S a happy day!!! But no worries — you will feel fabulous in gowns at Ava Laurenne Bride.
