They say “A bride is like a dream come true. She’s the perfect embodiment of love, beauty, and grace, and she makes every heart skip a beat.” We believe they were talking about Christy Hollowell when they wrote that ❤️✨

The month of June has flown by, but Pride at Ava Clara is 365 days a year 🌈✨

One of our best days in our 14 years of business was when Jess and Crystal both had their first bridal appointment. Their wedding was in only a few short months, and they were both in need of a dress. We split the bridal boutique in half and they both tried on gowns at the same time, not being able to see each other but hearing the ooos and ahhhs of their supportive guests. Dominique and Jenna had so much fun getting to know Jess + Crystal and their sweet love story. There wasn’t a single dry eye in the boutique when that second picture was taken! The two bride-to-bes had closed their eyes and held hands in the dresses that they were saying yes to! What would you call that? A first not-look? Whatever you would call it, we call it one of the sweetest moments we have ever witnessed.

Love is love. Ava Clara Couture Bridal is honored to serve our LGBTQ+ community and let our boutique be a safe and welcoming space for all. We are proud to have a q***r Vice President and inclusive team. Love should only ever be celebrated and hate will not be tolerated 🌈❤️🧡💛💚💜💙
