It's an inclusive and welcoming bridal experience where you will enjoy finding the perfect wedding dress.
I had a wonderful experience with my stylist, Ilyese. She made us all feel at home, understood my vision for my wedding dress, and helped me try a number of different styles, not only to find what I was after, but also to simply enjoy the experience of trying on dresses (especially styles I might not have otherwise considered!).
I felt completely comfortable and never once felt pressured. My young nieces (1 and 4) were welcomed in, with toys for them to play with and a change table available in the bathroom.
We felt so well taken care of and had a genuinely lovely time. Thank you so much, Ilyese!!!

From start to finish, the team was absolutely incredible. The care, patience, and genuine kindness shown throughout the entire wedding planning journey meant more to me than words can express. Every step felt supported, thoughtful, and truly heart-led.
A special thank you to Ilyese, who was truly my wedding dress fairy godmother. I came in without a clear vision and with a little stress, as this was a last minute change to a Western wedding dress. Ilyese embraced the experience with such intuition, understanding, and skill. She just knew what I was after, even before I fully did myself.
The one dress she picked out became my forever dress, and I will be forever grateful for that magic.
Thank you all for creating such a meaningful and beautiful experience. I will be recommending you to all our friends as they enter their bridal seasons. Truly so grateful. <3

I LOVED my experience with Ilyese at Astra Bridal Newmarket!! She listened to what I wanted and talked me through her thinking, and nothing else I tried matched up to the first dress she put me in. She communicated so clearly with me and my support people, gave me moments to process my thoughts alone, created such a fun and calm environment, and helped me to clarify my thinking. A process that I expected to be stressful and overwhelming was fun and so much simpler because of Ilyese, and I am so grateful! The environment of the Newmarket store was great, and I loved my time there. I've found my dress and I am so happy! Would recommend to literally anybody!
