Can't speak highly enough of my experience at Astra! Ashley made me feel so comfortable and was very patient with all the decision making. My mum and I had a great time talking with Ashley and Ilyese about all things wedding dresses and veils. They were both so helpful in helping me come to a decision on a dress I absolutely love. I'm so looking forward to finally wearing it! <3

I had the most amazing experience finding my wedding dress here! From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed and comfortable. Ashley was absolutely incredible! She was warm, patient, and so knowledgeable. She really took the time to understand what I liked while also encouraging me to try things outside my comfort zone.
Her “wild card” ended up being the dress I chose in the end, and I couldn’t be happier! It was such a special moment, and I’m so grateful for Ashley’s expertise and intuition. She made the whole experience feel exciting, personal, and stress-free.
Thank you for helping me find my dream dress and making such an important part of my wedding journey so memorable. I couldn’t recommend Ashley and the team enough!

I had an amazing experience at Astra Bridal! The girls immediately made us feel so welcomed and special, and Ashley, my consultant, was incredible to work with. She was so patient, listened carefully, and helped make me feel so beautiful in the wedding dress I chose.
Ashley went above and beyond to make my experience incredibly positive, even staying after closing time to help me pick the perfect veil. I would highly recommend this store to any bride wanting to find their dream dress, and if Ashley is your consultant, your experience will be amazing!
Thank you, Astra Bridal team!!
