Ashley was my consultant, and honestly, it was the most lovely experience. Super fun, relaxed, and memorable. Ashley was amazing. I didn’t know the try on experience could be so nice! She was great with my family, really listened to the styles I wanted to look at, respected my budget, and was the best chat while trying on dresses. She really knows her stuff.
Ileyse is stellar too, what a gem. Her gowns are beautiful, and the studio is such a positive space to be in.
Thank you, Astra Newmarket team. I love my dress!
