Frequently Asked Questions

A few things brides ask us most, from guests and timelines to sizing and pricing. Still curious about something? We are always happy to help.

How many guests can I bring?

We can accommodate up to 4 guests for a classic or celebration appointment, and up to 14 for a princess treatment. Saturdays are our busiest day, so weekday appointments allow the most flexibility for a larger party.

Do I need to bring special undergarments or shoes?

Our gowns are made with the most unbelievable construction so that you don’t need any special undergarments! Our gowns are made to be worn without bras so that you can see the perfect fit. We have pedestals for you to stand on, and it is easier to get in and out of gowns without shoes.

How long does it take for a gown to come in?

Our order gowns typically take anywhere from 6-9 months to come in, and then alterations typically takes about 3 months. We also have gowns that we sell directly out of our collection that you can take home the same day if your wedding is earlier!

What prices should I expect?

At Ava Laurenne Bride our collection of once-in-a-lifetime gowns ranges in price from $1,500-$15,000. The sweet spot of our collection sits between $2,000-$6,000! We also have gowns to purchase right out of the collection that begin around $1,000! And don’t miss our amazing clearance event the week of Thanksgiving, our Spring Sale, and our huge clearance sale the entire month of July!! We believe every bride should be an Ava Laurénne Bride, and we love watching every bride find her perfect gown!!

What sizes do you carry?

It is so important that every bride has an array of gowns to try on! It is one of our utmost priorities to have a variety of samples to help you find your perfect gown. We have samples from size 6 to size 30. Our average size for our samples is a bridal 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 what you normally wear! (If you are a size 6, you will be an 8 or 10 in bridal!) We don’t know why designers do this, but we can assume it is based on European standard sizes! You will feel fabulous in the gowns here at Ava Laurenne!!

How long is the appointment?

Our classic and celebration appointments are 1.5 hours and our princess treatment appointments are 3 hours! There is more wiggle room during the week if you need more time for your appointment since we see the most brides on Saturdays!

Can I customize my gown or change the color?

Your gown should be as unique as you are! Some of our gowns can be ordered in blue, pink, black in addition to your ivories and blushes! We can also add a sleeve to almost anything along with some other fun customizations!

Is Ava Laurènne Bride accessible?

Yes! Ava Laurènne Bride is ADA accessible. Our boutique offers ramp access at the front entrance, as well as an elevator inside to make navigating the boutique easier for brides and guests with mobility needs. If you have any specific accessibility needs or questions before your appointment, please reach out to our team we’re happy to help make your visit as comfortable and seamless as possible.
