Testimonials

I had a wonderful experience at Astra Bridal Wellington. I went into the experience very anxious about finding something I liked at short notice, and was looked after by Maisie, who was very attentive and helped me find my dream dress. Astra Bridal has a great selection of gowns and is able to accommodate quick turnarounds for type B brides! Thank you, Maisie and Astra Bridal.

Probably the only try-on experience you'll need, to be honest. The whole team is so welcoming, but Brooke specifically is amazing. It felt like I was chatting with a friend. The space itself felt elegant and feminine, but also super approachable, not catty or stuffy at all. Brooke knew exactly what I was after, but still picked out a few different styles because why not try a bit of everything? I ultimately ended up getting my dream dress here with basically zero stress. Pricing is also reasonable (for wedding things, lol).

I had the most wonderful experience here with my stylist Brooke. She has been the biggest help in saying yes to the dress. She offered great suggestions and really helped me have my bridal moment. I highly recommend the team here as they are all amazing, super friendly, and just such an all around amazing experience. The video consult before the actual appointment helped so much and it meant we were ready to try on dresses as soon as we arrived. The mimosas were an added bonus and I just felt like absolute royalty the entire time. Nothing has been too much and I just feel so happy to have had such an amazing experience.

I was absolutely delighted with Lisa’s help in finding my wedding gown. From the moment I walked into the boutique, she made me feel at ease with her warmth, patience, and genuine attention. Lisa listened closely to what I envisioned—my likes, dislikes, and what I appreciated most was her balance of professionalism and compassion. She made the appointment fun and relaxed, free from any pressure, which made saying yes to the dress all the more special. Thanks to Lisa, the dress-shopping experience was one of the highlights of my wedding journey. I felt stunning, supported, and so grateful for her exceptional styling. I highly recommend her to any bride seeking not just a dress, but a truly memorable experience.

I can’t thank Astra Bridal Newmarket enough! From the moment I walked in, they made me feel so welcome. Ilyese is an absolute gem – she truly listened to what I wanted and cared about helping me find the dress. And I did… the most perfect one! Incredible service, incredible team – I honestly can’t recommend them enough. Thank you!!

I had the best experience at Astra Bridal Wellington! I felt Lisa made the whole thing relaxed but also special. Her knowledge is fantastic, and I felt so comfortable without being pressured to buy or rushed through. The dress selection is beautiful. The hardest thing was making the final decision!

I can’t speak highly enough of Chanelle at Astra Bridal Hamilton! My sister had her as her consultant and raved about how amazing she was, so of course, I had to request her to help me too — and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, Chanelle made me feel comfortable, supported, and truly special. She listened to what I was looking for, understood my style right away, and somehow found the perfect dress for me — which just so happened to be the very first one I tried on! Chanelle has such a warm, genuine way about her. She made the whole experience stress-free and exciting, guiding me through every step with patience, kindness, and expert advice. It honestly felt like shopping with a close friend who just happened to know everything about bridal fashion. I’m so grateful for her help in making such an important decision feel so easy and joyful. If you’re looking for your dream dress, I can’t recommend Chanelle enough — she’s an absolute gem!

I had such a wonderful experience with Lisa. She was absolutely lovely, so warm and welcoming from the start. Lisa made me feel comfortable and at ease; her kind, body positive approach helped me truly enjoy the experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt supported and encouraged throughout the entire appointment.

Thanks to Lisa, I was able to say yes to the perfect dress. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through such a special moment.

The absolute best experience! After being elsewhere and not feeling like I was getting anywhere, Astra knocked it out of the park. Maisie helped me, and she was amazing! She really knew her stuff and was so friendly. I truly could not recommend her enough.

The Newmarket Astra Bridal team were an absolute dream for me as a nervous plus sized bride! I dropped in for a Sip & See just to get my head around what styles of wedding dress were available at which price points, and left knowing I would buy my dress from this store because of how welcoming, fun, supportive and attentive the whole crew was. I really recommend coming along to one of these nights if you don't know where to start with your dress shopping experience!

I went back a few weeks later for a consultation with Brooke and was amazed at her attention to detail all the way from the dresses she pulled for us to start (most of which were ones I'd pointed out at my first visit) through to finding THE dress which truly felt like they'd got it in store just for me! I was so nervous about my size and finding something comfortable, but Brooke never put me in a single dress that made me feel insecure with my body and she was quick to push away even a second of doubt. I felt she heard and saw me for who I was, made sure I was comfortable the entire way through and kept up some great yarns.

It was amazing having Ilyese pop in and join us for the yarns, offer advice, and hype me up, amidst her busy mahi as an on-site designer. The only possible downside to the experience at Astra Bridal Newmarket is you might find yourself trying to convince your fiancée that you need to invite the gals to your wedding <3
