I highly recommend Astraea!!! I worked with Laura, Leslee and Loraia ( not sure how to spell her name) and every single one listened to what I wanted and the concerns I had! I neve...
r felt pressured or uncomfortable and felt I could be honest and I was happy that they would give me their honest opinion when asked! I did end up buying my dress here and would recommend this shop to any of my family and friends!
I showed up to my appointment with NO CLUE what I wanted out of a dress. Within my appointment time, we tried on a variety of textures and silhouettes. With each dress, I gave feed...
back on what I did or didn’t like about the dress and my consultant and owner, Leslee, kept pulling dresses to match the feedback. By the end, I basically had my dress picked out but came back the following week so I could sleep on it. Outside of just trying on the dresses, everyone in the shop was extraordinarily nice and happy to be there. They were friendly and receptive to feedback. The shop itself was clean, comfortable, and very cute which made for a fun experience. I’m also a big fan of what the shop sells: consigned dresses or dresses from brands that were out of season etc and would’ve been used in a less sustainable way. Additionally, they have a HUGE and size inclusive selection. Overall, I loved my experience at Astraea Bridal and will be recommending to anyone who will listen.
Shopping with Laura at Astrea was such a pleasure! My gals and I felt so welcome and she seemed to hone in on my vision instantaneously. Laura shared a wealth of experience and inf...

and welcoming. It is inclusive both LGBTQ and size. Megan made me feel super comfortable, asked me lots of questions about what I liked and didn't like and helped me narrow things down. They had lots of dresses in my size (usually a 16). I didn't walk out with a dress, but I did walk out with more confidence, more knowledge and more excitement about wedding dress shopping. THANK YOU!
They had so many beautiful options! This shop was worth the visit with a beautiful location, so many dresses in my size (plus size), and super friendly staff.
I was nervous to try on dresses so I went for a first appointment by myself and was surprised at how great the appointment ended up being. It was all due to the warm, welcoming atm...
osphere and knowledgeable employees who provided the right amount of guidance for me to narrow down my options. I go back in a few days with family but I'm pretty sure I know my favorite. I would highly recommend them as someone who was almost dreading going, I am now a convert! Yay Astraea!
Beautiful shop, thoughtful, knowledgeable staff, and great selection!

The shop is welcoming, friendly, and it was a pleasure to shop for my wedding dress here. Could not recommend more highly!

d Leslee provide… much more impressed with this Mount Vernon shop than anything in our neighboring big cities!
Laura took time to understand me and truly picked up exactly the type of bride I am and what’s important to me. I recommend this to literally anyone- very inclusive and ethically conscious too!
Laura did such a great job adjusting to my needs and wants. She was very professional and gave great advice. I am so happy I was able to shop a small business for my wedding dress!...
Thank you for the expertise, recommendations and excitement throughout the process. <3
I had a fantastic experience at Astraea! Laura really put a lot of thought and effort into helping me, getting me into many different styles that I was interested in seeing. While ...
I ended up choosing my dress from another shop I really appreciated my time in the appointment with Laura, she really helped me look at so many beautiful options and solidify my bridal vision! Astraea even sent me some vendor resources afterward that will be helpful for further wedding planning! It was a lovely experience, they have a ton of beautiful inventory, and I highly recommend shopping for your wedding gown here!
Astraea Bridal was amazing! They had so many gowns to choose from at many different price points. We were given the very best service and the stylists were so attentive. I would de...
finitely recommend Astraea to anyone looking for a 5-star experience.
I LOVE ASTRAEA. I wanted to buy a dress secondhand for price and environmental reasons, but I still wanted to have a special, relaxing experience, and Astraea absolutely delivered....
They made myself and my guests feel so welcome, provided the right guidance and advice (including where and how to get it altered to fit), and made me feel safe in an experience that was fun but also a little bit personally stressful. I ended up going back months later and purchasing the veil I had tried on with my dress, too, because I was lucky enough it hadn't sold yet and their prices and selection were just the best. I work as a wedding coordinator and florist myself, and I can't wait to send my clients and friends here! Professional photos by TMInspired Photography.
Beautiful, relaxing, FUN experience! Loriah was so intentional and thoughtful while offering dress selections. She really helped me to hone in the exact style, texture, and aesthet...
ic I was looking for. Loriah went above and beyond to provide additional education about materials and fit. She offered honest feedback when asked and even got me outside of my comfort zone! Megan was able to provide expert opinion on what would be possible in terms of tailoring/altering dresses, which was extremely helpful. The perfect pairing of lovely atmosphere and lovely ladies ~ you will feel like a queen on the hunt for your perfect dress <3
Awesome customer service! This is the third place I went to and the last. I purchased my dress here. They are great about listening to what your style is and giving you a lot of op...

Would give this shop 10 stars if I could!!! Astraea is the cutest local gem. ☺️

a wedding dress!
Laura (who is one of the owners!) made us feel right at home with her chummy friendliness and vast expertise. Laura helped me understand what it was that I liked and put no pressure on me to make any decisions. This was my first dress appointment and I can’t imagine having gone anywhere else.
I was nervous to try on dresses but Laura was fantastic! She made me feel so comfortable and gave me so much great information and advice. She pulled almost 10 dresses for me to tr...

I wish I could give Astraea Bridal 10 stars instead of 5. After a day of striking out at another shop and not being able to find anything that was my style, or within my budget, at...
a bridal boutique in Whatcom county, I was feeling a little defeated, and a little nervous that I was just going to have to settle for a wedding dress that wasn’t me. But then I remembered driving by Astraea a few days before and decided to give them a call and see if they might have what I was looking for. I talked to Laura for a minute and she told me she DID have what I was looking for and to come right in. What Laura didn’t say, is that she is a mind reader and knew exactly what I was looking for. Not only did she have the dress I had been hoping to find (literally pinned on my Pinterest 3 times) but she also pulled more than 10 other stunning dresses that were so gorgeous and made me feel so beautiful that I spent 2 hours going back and forth trying to decide because I loved them so much. This was the dress shopping experience I had been dreaming and hoping for! If you’re looking for your sign to make an appointment, this is it!
Had the most amazing time! The dresses were so gorgeous and everyone was extremely helpful!!
Couldn't have had a better first experience dress shopping than what the Astraea team provided me with. There inventory was in a great price point and high quality. The team was am...
azing and super knowledgeable. They listened to me so well and coached me where appropriate too. You should absolutely go to them first when looking for your dress.
Leslee was a joy to work with! She was so kind and professional and took one look at my inspiration photos and pulled a dress for me that ended up being the one! Astraea Bridal cre...
ated such a calm and positive environment, I was anxious about wedding dress shopping, but they made it a wonderful experience. Highly recommend! I can't say enough good things!!
I went to my appointment alone and completely lost in what I wanted. Laura helped me break down what I was looking for and picked out some different dresses than I would have thoug...
ht to pick. I loved every single dress she picked out! we discussed our likes and dislikes on every dress to help decipher what I actually wanted. She gave me great advice, supported me thought out the whole appointment, and gave so much body positivity. This appointment was the first time I have ever really felt like a grown women and loved my body. I genuinely had a great time and think I found my dress for the day! I can’t say enough about the ladies at Astraea. Just know they will never do you wrong! They care more about their clients than the sales. Thank you so much, Laura!
I went solo dress shopping and am still blown away by how fun and professional my service was. Laura was insightful to my dress description and chose GORGEOUS dresses that were wit...
hin budget, and even went through estimated cost of alterations as I tried on. They fully buttoned up each dress and even took photos, all while making me laugh and consider items I would not have normally (shopping makes me nervous- especially dresses). They even have a seamstress partnership that they set me up with including alterations notes and they are considerate of the environment and making sustainable sourcing choices for inventory and packaging. Cannot recommend any other store! Best customer service I have ever experienced.
I had an AMAZING experience here. 10/10 recommend. I do not like shopping and tend to get overwhelmed, but Laura made me feel so comfortable and also offered great recommendations ...
about how different dresses could be altered or adjusted to fit my body type. The owners are also committed to being a sustainable business and put a ton of thought into the businesses they partner with to find quality materials and suppliers that are committed to sustainability. The only thing I would change is going here sooner!
What a welcoming and pleasant space. I had so much fun finding a dress and the ladies were kind and helpful. The best part, I didn't have to break the bank to find a dress I absolu...
tely love! If you are like me and enjoy consignment shopping and still want to find a beautiful wedding dress, this is the place to go!
I had a wonderful experience working with Laura, co-owner of Astraea Bridal. She listened attentively, was extremely knowledgeable about their dress inventory, and incorporated my ...
budget and stated style preferences into her recommendations. She offered encouragement and suggestions when appropriate and was so caring and communicative throughout the process. I cannot say enough good things! I would absolutely recommend Astraea for your wedding dress shopping - you will be well taken care of and supported.
Such an amazing bridal shop!
The owner and staff are so friendly and encouraging in your journey to find a wedding dress. If you're like me: on a budget with little time and are ...
super indecisive, then I think this place is great route to go.
Because it is a consignment bridal shop there are so many hidden gems that you can find for every budget! Plus, the inventory is always changing so you never know what you're going to find. However, this is why it can be stressful to make a decision because the dress you like might get snatched up.
But overall, really impressed with this shop for my first ever dress shopping experience.
Absolutely the best bridal experience ever. Laura knows how to style any body type, is creative, and genuinely cares about her customers. Her dresses are all so well cared for, and...
just the most unique collection I’ve ever seen! Again, best experience ever.
Leslee was SO wonderful in helping me nail down exactly what I wanted. I came in with no bridal experience, and she was able to get me in multiple styles, colors, and accessories t...
o help me find my way. She respected my budget and accommodated my desires as they shifted throughout the process. I would HIGHLY recommend stopping by regardless of size or budget! Incredible experience!!
The team at Astraea Bridal are professional, efficient, and compassionate. Before your appointment, you fill out a questionnaire so they can get an idea of what you want and they c...
an pull dresses ahead of time. I had three guests with me who were able to browse the dresses during the appointment and tag if there were dresses they wanted to see me in. Laura was great at helping me really think through what I did or didn't like in each dress so she could adjust dress selections as needed. She also knew the story of each dress and how it came to be in their consignment shop, which showed me how much care and attention they give their dresses. By the end of my appointment, I had picked a wedding dress and they were sending alteration information to the seamstress they work with, so I didn't even need to do that part!
Laura was an absolute gem. Authentic, in-tune, and very down-to earth. She was a ton of fun, and very easy/comfortable to talk to. Felt heard, and recommended things that were on ...
point with what I shared with her, but also recommended a few things I wouldnt have thought to try based-off my theme and our conversations.
She then personally helped me figure out what changes we needed to make to get exactly what I wanted. She was so knowledgeable and went a step above and beyond with the finishing touches and one on one personal input.
I had a blast, when I started off nervous. Totally took the intimidation out of wedding dress shopping.
I cannot recommend Astraea Bridal enough! Being a plus size bride I had dressing room flashbacks of nothing fitting right and working with such a limited selection, a phone call an...
d an appointment later, I am so impressed with the selection of dresses band how knowledgeable and fun my appointment was. I felt taken care of and I cannot thank you enough for making a day I dreamed about for years, a dream come true!
Let's talk.
About how freakin' awesome Astrea Bridal is. Holy cow, first of all Laura is a bridal witch, making a girl's dreams happen one day at a time. They're pure magic.
In ...
my experience if Bridal shopping so far, she's the first person that genuinely asked me what I was looking for and what inspiration I had, she checked my inspo and immediately pulled dresses a girl could drool over. She pulled several dresses that I never thought to try on and instantly fell in love with one and gave me the first moment where I've felt like a bride in this whole process.
Then, she pulled something that we could MAKE into my dream dress, with the vision I have, the knowledge she has, all while sticking in with my budget. We've said yes to the dress and we're now making something magical for the big day.
I cannot tell you how wonderful they are here and how much love and support they deserve.
Amazing! Lindsey was incredible. I was so nervous yet she put me at ease and listened to what I wanted. Astraea had a wonderful dress selection of various styles. I tried on a lot ...
of dresses but loved the first dress I tried on and was able to take it home the same day with my beautiful veil and hair accessories. I absolutely loved my experience here and recommend it to anyone!
I only have great things to say about Astraea! I knew I wanted to purchase my dress at Astraea pretty much as soon as I saw them move into the building space, years before I got en...
gaged. Laura made it an amazing experience, she asked me what I had in mind, looked at photos I had for inspiration and helped me narrow down what I wanted. I went home with my dress and I can’t wait to wear it in a year! Thank you Leslee and Laura!
What a relaxing, MAGICAL experience! The selection was enormous for such a small shop, and Leslie made us feel right at home.
In fact, Leslie was kind of the main part of why I lo...
ved my experience of choosing my wedding dress here! She was wonderfully attentive, amazingly knowledgeable, and could give me an estimate RIGHT THERE for how much each dress would cost in total, including the individual tailoring each dress would need!
I was SO impressed. Definitely, definitely go here.
I had the best time searching for my dream dress with Leslie. She listened to what I wanted and made me feel totally at ease. Her shop is gorgeous and her selection is impressive!
It was a relief to not have to drive all the way to Seattle to find a lovely wedding dress shop. Astraea is easily located in downtown Mt Vernon, WA. Finding a wedding dress can be...
a bit stressful. Laura was friendly and empathetic. Unlike many brides who are young, excitable, and traveling with an entourage, I was more laid back and quiet and Laura soon picked up on this to match my energy. Even though there was a decent selection of styles and inclusive sizes she even worked to get in some more dresses that she thought I would like! She was eager to give recommendations for other wedding vendors in the area and seemed to genuinely want me to be happy, not just sell a dress. I highly recommend Astraea!
Astraea Bridal was amazing! Their customer service and expertise is unmatched. Lauren picked out a great mix of dresses that aligned exactly with my vision and also included some o...
ther fits that she wanted me to confirm I didn’t like. She was a total pro with deep knowledge of different fits, fabrics, and how alterations could change the look of the dresses I tried on. She even gave me a ballpark estimate for alterations so I wouldn’t be surprised if I went with my dress. I ended up saying YES to the dress!
This was the most perfect experience I could have asked for as a plus size bride. Many of the dresses were magical and beautiful and in my size! I haven’t seen a larger collection ...
at a boutique shop yet for plus size. Modern, elegant, hip whatever you’re looking for in plus size it’s there. Or you might end up with something totally new to you like I did. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
I had the most amazing experience at Astraea! Leslie's expertise and knowledge of everything wedding was unmatched. She very clearly had so much passion for what she did, and was a...
ble to give such good feedback on alterations, share the stories of the dresses, and answer any and all questions we had. The store obviously has been cared for and studied deeply with only the highest quality dresses, lighting, staging areas, and fitting rooms. Every single dress I tried on was beautiful - but ultimately we found the one that had the edge, and Leslie helped find the perfect alternative veil for it, since I did not like the formality of the traditional veils. She listened to what I wanted, and what our venue feel was and definitely delivered. Will be recommending to all of my friends getting married, and wish I could go back every day and shop around. What a magical shop!
