It's an inclusive and welcoming bridal experience where you will enjoy finding the perfect wedding dress.
I had an amazing experience shopping for my wedding dress at Astra Bridal Newmarket. I am curvy (18–20) and was self-conscious that I wouldn’t look good in anything. It was my first time trying on dresses, and every single one made me feel beautiful, EVEN the wildcard!!
I had the most warm, kind, skilled, and beautiful stylist, Brooke, helping me. She was so knowledgeable about all the dresses and what would look good and match what I said I wanted in a dress. She also made me feel so confident and comfortable. The whole experience was an absolute breeze. She even got an extra fan into the room for me as it was a hot day and I run hot!
She was my ultimate hype girl and was not pushy about selling anything. She just wanted me to feel good and have the best time. Honestly, 1000/10 recommend. The other girls working in the store were so sweet too, and when I came out they were complimenting me and were so, so kind!
I said yes to the dress and cannot wait to come back when it’s time to collect my dress!

I had such a wonderful experience at Astra Bridal Newmarket! Ilyese was absolutely amazing — warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole appointment feel relaxed and fun. She really listened to what I wanted and helped me find my dream dress. I felt supported the entire time and never rushed. The store has a gorgeous selection, and the team created such a special, memorable experience. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Astra Bridal to any bride-to-be!

The Most Incredible Bridal Experience
I bought my wedding dress from Astra Bridal, and I have to say, Ilyese is one of the most stunning humans I’ve ever met. Her customer care, genuine love for what she does, and humble yet incredible eye for design are absolutely unmatched. She made me feel supported, celebrated, and completely understood throughout the entire process.
The dresses? Unreal. The customer care? On another level. The pricing? So reasonable for the quality and experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with mimosas, warmth, and the most beautiful, personalised service. The whole shop has such a special vibe, and you can tell everyone truly cares. They even offer front-of-line employee appointments at a discount.
I cannot recommend Ilyese and Astra Bridal as a whole enough. She made choosing my wedding dress one of the happiest, easiest, and most memorable parts of wedding planning. <3
