A Rooftop Bridal Moment Like No Other by Ava Laurénne Bride at AC Hotel

There is something truly magical about becoming an Ava Laurénne Bride… and for our spring brides, that magic only grows. When you find your dream dress with us, you are not just checking something off your list, you are stepping into a sisterhood. An experience. A lifetime of celebration.

As an Ava Laurénne Bride, you are invited back again and again to be part of our signature events. These are not ordinary gatherings. They are elevated, immersive, and intentionally designed to celebrate you in the most beautiful, unforgettable ways.

The May Flowers Event | A Love In Bloom Season Event Experience

Our Love In Bloom brides will be the first to experience one of our most breathtaking events yet, the May Flowers rooftop celebration, hosted at the iconic AC Hotel in Greenville. Set against the Greenville skyline at sunset, this evening is designed to feel romantic, vibrant, and completely transportive!

From the moment the experience begins, every detail is curated to create something unforgettable. Ava Laurénne Brides will enjoy a VIP seat to a couture bridal fashion show, featuring stunning gowns in motion as the sun sets over the city. With the skyline as your backdrop, it is a moment that feels cinematic, emotional, and undeniably magical.

A Floral Experience Like No Other

At the heart of the evening is a featured experience that is deeply personal to Ava Laurénne Bride. Our Creative Director, Wendy Mercer of Gatherings by Mercer, will host a live floral demonstration, offering a behind the scenes look at the artistry behind our couture floral installations!

Wendy is the visionary behind the breathtaking floral moments our brides know and love, from statement installations to our iconic seasonal designs. Watching her create in real time is not just inspiring, it is an experience our brides will never forget.

Throughout the evening, floral elements will be woven into every detail, bringing the Love In Bloom theme to life in the most immersive way.

Elevated Details Designed Just for Our Brides

Every Ava Laurénne Bride event is known for its intentional, over the top details, and May Flowers is no exception!!

Brides will have the opportunity to experience Arlo Secour, a clean, natural perfume brand, where you can sample and experiment with beautifully crafted floral scents. For one night only, brides will have access to a special event price, making it the perfect opportunity to find a signature scent tied to this moment!

Our beloved Traveling Penny team will also be joining us, offering permanent jewelry, with a custom gold charm gifted to each bride as a keepsake from the evening. It is a meaningful detail that allows you to take a piece of the experience home with you.
