 A new bridal salon- Ava Laurenne is opening on June 4th in the Galleria – downtown Fredericksburg.

I stopped by yesterday for a sneak preview of the salon and is it amazing! Beautiful and tasteful decor inside a soaring two story shop makes this bridal salon chic and very special.

Even more special is their vision of what shopping for a wedding dress should entail… pampering the bride and making it an experience to be remembered for years to come.

Ava Laurene will debut at two of our upcoming bridal shows on Sunday June 3rd at the Science Museum in Richmond and on June 10th at The Hospitality House in Fredericksburg’s Central Park.

Below are details from Ava Laurene:

The Princess Treatment is unique to Ava Laurenne Bride. It was created for that “something extra” that will make the bride feel like the entire world of Ava Laurenne revolves around her.
