2024 Fairytale Never Ends Ball Event Recap

"Our clocks forever remain 1 minute to midnight because at Ava Laurénne Bride the fairytale never ends! When a bride finds her perfect gown with us she gets to be a bride and celebrate for the rest of time, attending all of our parties, fashion shows, and events!"

At Ava Laurénne Bride, we strive to create unforgettable moments, and on October 24th, we hosted an enchanting evening that will live on in our hearts. Our Fairytale Never Ends Ball & Fashion Show was a truly magical event that transported our brides and guests into a world of opulence, beauty, and wonder.

From the moment our guests arrived, they were greeted by the transformation of our downtown Fredericksburg boutique into a stunning Regency-era-inspired ball venue. Wendy Mercer of Gathering by Mercer brought this vision to life with breathtaking florals, sparkling lights, and intricate details that evoked a sense of timeless elegance.

A Night To Remember

The evening began with a captivating professional dance performance by Strictly Ballroom Dancers. Dressed in Renaissance-inspired attire, their ballroom dancing set the perfect tone for the event, leaving everyone in awe with their stunning opening Waltz (a dance guests later got to learn!). Guests sipped on custom cocktails, each with a touch of sparkle, and enjoyed delicious charcuterie bite by Elboard VA!

A Showcase of Couture

Our couture fashion show was the highlight of the evening. DJ Selfie Mirror created an electric atmosphere with a mesmerizing light display and powerful music perfectly companied by a Smokey backdrop provided by Hologram Smoke Machine. Everything about the atmosphere perfectly complemented the unveiling of our newest bridal gown collection, complete with a large projected logo by DJ Blendmasters. Each model dazzled in hair and makeup expertly crafted by Awsixtythirty hair design, adding a final touch of glamour to the runway!

We were thrilled to have Lindsey Mack Photography capture every magical moment of the evening. Lindsey’s ability to showcase the heart of an event, from grand gestures to quiet, special moments, is unmatched.
