I said yes to the dress! I had a great experience from start to finish. The team kindly arranged for a dress I’d seen online at another branch to be couriered over for me to try on, which I really appreciated.
Ashley was incredibly patient and picked out several beautiful dresses for me to try. She also offered very helpful tips and recommendations for alterations, as well as ways I could enhance the dresses if I wanted to.
In the end, I walked away with a gorgeous dress at an incredible price. I still can’t quite believe I found such a beautiful gown at such amazing value. I’m so grateful for all the help and would absolutely recommend to any future bride looking for a dress!

Thank you so much Astra Bridal, especially my stylist, Ashley, who helped me find my dream dress! As someone who is quite pale, finding a white dress with a pop of colour was exactly what I envisioned. The matching sleeves and veil completed the whole look, and I will be forever grateful.

Ashley made the process so easy and completely put me at ease. My mum and friends had a great time too! A big thank you to Ashley and the other wonderful women at Astra for making it such a beautiful experience. I am thrilled to have purchased my dress :) I’m really looking forward to returning to pick it up. Thank you again so much for all your help.
