How To Feel Completely Refreshed and Rejuvenated Leading Up to Your Wedding

Recently, Ava Laurénne Bride hosted an exclusive event that spilled all the tea on how to feel completely refreshed and rejuvenated leading up to your wedding! One of the many perks of finding your dream wedding dress at Ava Laurénne Bride is you secure an invite to all our parties, events, and fashion shows for life! In June we were so excited to treat 40 lucky brides and a guest to a "Re-June-venate" party!

From best skin routines, to the most pampering of massage treatments, this event was exactly the cure for any wedding planning stress! Brides enjoyed chair massages, created custom bath salts, and sipped delicious cocktails while learning some expert tips on how to prep your skin for the wedding day! See below several ways you can rejunvenate yourself!

Skincare

We were so thrilled to have the fabulous team from iLamai Medspa & Wellness at our event! They shared expert skincare tips to help brides achieve that wedding-day glow and handed out some amazing product samples for everyone to try.

"The #1 most important skincare tip for brides preparing for their wedding day is to start early and maintain a consistent skincare routine! This includes cleansing, mild exfoliation, moisturizing, and using sunscreen daily to ensure the skin is healthy, radiant, and glowing on the big day! Starting a good routine several months in advance allowing you time to find the perfect products and address any skin issues early!"

Bath & Body

Our Virginia boutique was absolutely thrilled to spoil brides with the amazing talents and products of our neighbor, Sugar and Spruce! Just around the corner on Caroline Ave in Fredericksburg, Sugar & Spruce crafts delightful handmade bath, body, and skincare goodies like soaps, sugar scrubs, bath bombs, shower bombs, and so much more!

"Unwind and soak away the pre-wedding jitters with our luxurious bath products. Perfect for reducing stress, they help you relax and feel pampered, so you can shine with serenity on your big day."

Massage Therapy

Victoria Colet from Victoire à Vie, located on Princess Anne Street in Fredericksburg, Virginia, wowed us with her amazing insights on the restorative and healing benefits of massage! We loved having her expertise at the event, and our brides couldn't get enough of the complimentary chair and scalp massages!

"Massage therapy is the perfect pre-wedding treat for brides. It melts away stress, soothes tired muscles, and leaves you feeling refreshed and radiant, ready to walk down the aisle with a serene smile."

Lavender

Ava Laurénne brides in Greenville got to meet the amazing team at Elf Leaf Farm, a charming family farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Landrum, South Carolina. Specializing in all things lavender, Elf Leaf Farm wowed us with their fabulous soaps, essential oils, bath bombs, and even cocktail syrups! They shared fantastic samples and gave us incredible insights into the health benefits of lavender.

Healing Benefits of Tea

Just like Ava Laurénne Bride, Kait & Crowne in Greenville, South Carolina, believes every woman has a precious story and that everyday moments are worth celebrating and dressing up for! Our Greenville brides were treated to a stunning curated selection of organic teas from Kait & Crowne, making the experience even more special.

"Organic tea offers a wealth of health benefits, from boosting immunity to aiding digestion. But it's more than just the tea itself—taking the time to savor a cup creates a moment of stillness, beauty, and peace, easing your mind and nourishing your soul."

Mocktails (or Cocktails)

We know cocktails aren't usually on the wellness menu, but we couldn't resist the fabulous custom mocktails whipped up by the Food & Beverage Director at Greenville's very own Juniper Rooftop Garden & Bar for our Re-June-venate event! And guess what? They even spilled the beans on how to turn these delicious mocktails into chic cocktails—just for fun! Cheers to that!
