New in the Neighbourhood: Ava Elite

The wedding bells are ringing! Ava Elite brings the art of bespoke bridal wear to Toronto’s East End. 

For brides looking for something truly personal, Ava Elite at 711 Queen St E specializes in handcrafted bridal gowns, prom gowns, and other special occasions, that seamlessly combine timeless elegance with modern sophistication.

They also conveniently offer other services including event planning support services, floral arrangements, and more. They set themselves apart through their quick service turnaround times for custom pieces created locally. 

Sepideh Zeinalian, the designer behind Ava Elite, started the business to address the lack of stylish options for bridal dresses and evening wear. Ava Elite’s approach is all about customization, with each piece not only meticulously designed but also personal to the wearer.

“To me, a dress is more than just clothing. It is a beautiful manifestation of the soul. This belief is what inspired me to start this business, turning fashion into a form of artistic expression,” says Sepideh.

At Ava Elite, clients can collaborate directly with the designer to discuss their vision, from silhouette to fabric choices to accents. With custom sizing and made-to-order garments, the process is all about creating a look tailored specifically to each bride.
