Every bride dreams of a fairytale, and on October 22nd, that dream came to life inside the walls of Ava Laurénne Bride. The Fairytale Never Ends Ball wasn’t just an event; it was a night where memories shimmered, hearts glowed, and magic felt real.
Our brides, radiant as ever, returned to the place where their journey began where they said “yes” to the gown of their dreams. This time, though, they came not just as brides, but as queens of their own stories, donning enchanting fairytale costumes, hand in hand with their princes, best friends, and loved ones.
From the moment guests arrived, the air was alive with wonder. The evening unfolded like a storybook: laughter filling the room, gowns sweeping across the floor, and the soft hum of music setting the perfect rhythm for joy.

A Night of Celebration and Giving
This year’s Ball carried an even deeper meaning. We turned our beloved celebration into a charity event to benefit The Fairy Godmother Project, a Fredericksburg-based organization dedicated to uplifting families navigating the challenges of pediatric cancer. Together, our Ava Laurénne family came together to celebrate love while also spreading it to those who need it most.
The Magic Makers
Every bit of enchantment that unfolded at The Fairytale Never Ends Ball was brought to life by a dream team of creators who truly define the word extraordinary. We are completely, utterly obsessed with each of these talented artists, and if you’re a bride not already following them, what are you doing!? These are the people who turn moments into memories and visions into cinematic beauty!
Live Painting & Guest Portraits by Spencer Grace Artist
Watching Spencer Grace paint live felt like witnessing a fairytale in motion. Her brushstrokes captured not just faces, but feelings—the laughter, the love, the pure joy of the night. Every guest portrait was a keepsake masterpiece.
Charcuterie by El Board
We still can’t get over the charcuterie spread from El Board. It was so stunning it deserved its own spotlight! Imagine artfully arranged textures, colors, and flavors that looked almost too good to eat (but trust us, every bite was divine).
Photo Booth by Best Life
Best Life brought the fun factor all the way up! Their photo booth setup wasn’t just a backdrop—it was an experience. Every flash captured laughter, friendship, and that signature Fairytale sparkle.
Lighting by Luminuss Productions
Luminuss Productions transformed the space into a scene straight out of a dream. The lighting design gave every corner a glow that made guests feel like they’d stepped into another world. Absolute perfection.
Florals by Gatherings Creative
Let’s just take a moment for Wendy Mercer and her team at Gatherings Creative. We’re not exaggerating when we say they are PURE MAGIC. The immersive florals they created for this event were otherworldly, lush, emotional, overwhelming in the best possible way. Every petal, every texture, every detail sang with life and artistry. They don’t just do florals, they transform entire atmospheres.
Couture Show Glam Team
Our models radiated main character energy thanks to this glam squad of absolute legends:
Music, Sparks & Vibes by BlendMasters D.J.
And then, there was BlendMasters D.J. The masterminds behind the soundtrack of the night. From music that gave everyone chills to dramatic cold sparks and their mobile photo booths, they didn’t just set the tone, they became the vibe!!
