Bride By Aster | Wedding Dresses Surrey | Bridal Shop Dorking

I was a little anxious about finding a dress...the ladies were so supportive, friendly and patient with several visits! I found the 1 and now I can't wait to wear my dress in October

Amazing! The women who work here are so few and far between, as someone with severe body dismorphia , they were so encouraging and kind. The whole thing was smooth and calm and they weren't pushy at all. There was no other shop I would have bought my dress from. Hannah and the team are AMAZING! If you're in Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire (or even further to be fair) you must must visit! The dresses are exquisite and hand picked to fit every bridal fantasy! You guys rock!

I ended up speaking to Hannah at our wedding venue (Gildings Barns) open day and her relaxing, kind and friendly personality shone through from the start! After booking an appointment in with Hannah, I took my mum a few weeks later to try on wedding dresses for the first time. Hannah and her team have a lovely little shop in Dorking that feels very personal and cosy. There were a beautiful selection of dresses, just the right amount to ensure enough choice but not too many that the experience became overwhelming. Hannah and her team were very knowledgable, listened to and looked at how I felt in each dress and I could sense them getting a feeling for the style that suited my shape, and that I liked. I felt so relaxed through the whole experience and felt no pressure at all. I had seen a dress that I loved on their website and chosen it to try it on when I went in, but I hadn't openly said to Hannah. It just so happened that after getting a sense for the style I liked, Hannah had also picked out that dress for me. Once I tried it on everything just felt right and I knew Id found my dress! I dont get married until Oct 23 so cannot wait to collect my dress and see it again! Thank you to Hannah and your wonderful team for making this experience so enjoyable xx

Hannah and the Bride by Aster team immediately put me at ease and made the whole experience relaxing, fun and most importantly, enjoyable. The first wedding dress I tried was the one and it was chosen by Hannah who listened to everything I had said I liked, and thought would suit me and my sense of style. That said, I still went on to try many other dresses and many other styles (as you never know!). There was no pressure to buy there and then, and Hannah actually encouraged me to take my time. Every appointment thereafter did not touch this first experience at Bride by Aster and no dress measured up to that first dress. I cannot recommend Bride by Aster enough. Thank you for making this experience so special!

Unlike some brides, I had no idea what sort of dress I would want for my wedding (I don't normally wear dresses), and with only 7 months between engagement and the big day, I was not only feeling the pressure, but a bit overwhelmed and out of my depth. Hannah made all my worries and stresses fade away as soon as I set foot into her store. She let me take my time, she listened to what I said (and also didn't say!), and importantly, also kept in mind my budget. That same day I walked away with the dress that beforehand, I never knew I would need for my big day, but after trying it on, I knew it was the one! The sparkle was just perfect for our Winter-themed wedding and I felt beautiful in it! I had so many compliments on how unique it was. If you want to find a store that has a range of designs, including your not so typical wedding dress, and has a wealth of knowledge and experience (not to mention a relaxed and supportive body positive environment) - then reach out to Hannah and the Bride by Aster team!
