A First Look at Couture Before London

The highlight of the evening was the highly anticipated runway showcase of brand new couture gowns. These breathtaking designs were presented to the public for the very first time, long before their official launch in London.

Guests watched as each gown made its debut under the lights of Camperdown Plaza. From dramatic silhouettes and intricate lace to modern couture details, every look offered something unforgettable.

What made the experience even more special was the opportunity for guests to share their opinions. Through live feedback and interaction, attendees helped guide which gowns could eventually become part of the Ava Laurénne Bride collection.

It was a rare opportunity to witness international couture bridal fashion before it officially entered the global bridal scene.

Guests were welcomed into a curated giveaway scavenger hunt across downtown Greenville. Attendees received exclusive event cards that guided them to select local businesses, unlocking complimentary gifts, surprise giveaways, and special perks available that night only. It turned the entire evening into an adventure through the heart of the city.

Throughout the event, guests enjoyed mini charcuterie sample snacks by Savory Sister Charcuterie, the perfect bite while taking in the runway show.
