I bought my dress here in October after an initial appointment in August. Hannah and her team were just amazing from the get go and instantly put me at ease. I didn't really know what style dress I wanted before I got there, but Hannah was so patient and let me try on as many dresses as I could, and didn't make me feel rushed at all. I had the best time and genuinely wish I could do it all over again! Thank you so much everyone at Bride by Aster!

Where do I even begin. As a teenager, I used to drive past this shop and admire the dresses in the window. I vowed that when I got engaged I would get my wedding dress from this shop. Hannah is truly amazing. She is so warm, bubbly and kind. The whole experience from start to finish was magical. Hannah makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful and there is such a range of dresses for every style and size. The designers she stocks are so unique. Hannah allows you to really explore your style and helps out along the way with her expert advice and suggestions. Thank you for making the experience

My experience with Bride By Aster was just a pure gift. From the first hello to the final decision, it was a joy to find my wedding dress. Being a little anxious about the whole process, Hannah was an absolute gem in providing reassurance, a positive atmosphere, person-centred attitude, and be a builder of confidence. The dresses she chose were such a range and gave us the perfect start to my first ever bridal appointment. Hannah and the team were also so respectful and gave us space to chat through the dresses as well as time to think. It was such a fantabulous experience, and I am so thankful

Hannah was recommended to me by a friend who gave such rave reviews even though her shop is more than an hour from where I live I knew I had to get an appointment! Every interaction with Hannah has been amazing, she is so warm and friendly and has the most beautiful selection of dresses. Although I didn't actually end up buying a dress from her she gave me so much confidence from the time she spent with me and my family. I can't recommend her highly enough
