I was so nervous about dress shopping and having to drag my family to shops in Seattle when I found Astraea in my local neighborhood. Wow what a blessing! The consultant listened to what my vision was and I found a dress that went above and beyond anything I could have picked myself. I was also able to find a veil that worked perfect and complemented dress well. Overall I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Amazing bridal shop in the heart of mount vernon. These ladies really take their time getting to know your style, letting you have freedom to look around the shop, and trying to find find the perfect dress. There is so much variety! I think it’s amazing to consign wedding dresses and reduce waste- a great concept! Don’t skip this spot if you are planning your wedding 💕
I had a great experience at Astraea all around. The facility, staff, and service were amazing and the dress selection was awesome!
I had a wonderful experience purchasing my wedding dress from Astraea Bridal. The store is beautiful and the team makes the whole processes easy and fun. They spent time to understand my style and preferences and picked amazing dresses to try on. I am so happy with my final selection and loved that I got to support a locally owned store.
Amazing choices, amazing knowledge, amazing Laura (owner)
I had an amazing experience wedding dress shopping . I was nervous and anxious but Laura was amazing at making me feel comfortable. She was very warm and friendly which made the experience even better. I would recommend this shop to anyone trying to find there perfect dress.
Had the best time experience! Megan was so fun to work with and took every thought/opinion into consideration. My appointment tine was well managed! I can’t wait to walk down the aisle in my beautiful consigned gown!
I had a wonderful experience here! This was my first time trying on wedding dresses so I was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect. The atmosphere in the store is so warm 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 atmosphere 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!
I had just the most wonderful time at Astraea Bridal, and ended up buying my dream dress! I had been to one place before, but my experience at Astraea was truly next level. I filled out a form before I came about my preferences and any photo inspiration, and Leslee had paid close attention to what I had said and already had some dresses in mind (one of them ended up being The One!). The shop is welcoming, friendly, and it was a pleasure to shop for my wedding dress here. Could not recommend more highly!
I had an appointment with Laura today and it was a amazing experience! She made me feel heard and supported. You can really tell how much she loves the wedding industry and has a passion for it, I couldn’t have found a better place to get my dress from 🩵
Incredible experience, nothing compares! We started at Astrea and ended at Astrea, there’s nothing quite like the service, relaxed environment, and welcoming culture that Laura and 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 definitely 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 aesthetic 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 options. Also, showing the different price ranges, which really helps when you have a wedding budget. I highly recommend checking it out!!!
Would give this shop 10 stars if I could!!! Astraea is the cutest local gem. ☺️
The space is stunning — bright and welcoming and SO beautiful. What an amazing setting to look for 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 try and helped every step of the way. Astraea has an incredible selection of dresses and had a ton in my price range. Highly recommend!
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 amazing 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 created 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 thought 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 within 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 absolutely 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 to 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 can 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 and 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 engaged. 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 loved 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 other 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 able 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!
I had an amazing experience at Astraea Bridal. You may think because it is a consignment shop they may have a small selection, you are WRONG. They had a huge selection of dresses, I found 3 dresses I would have happily worn for my wedding reception, all under 2k. Can you say budget AND environmentally friendly, oh yeah! Also, Laura and Leslee are absolute badasses, they were so helpful in guiding me to find the perfect dress and making me feel like a 10. I felt amazing leaving their shop knowing I found the perfect dress for my day. My favorite part may have been the pro-choice banners in the front windows. You've got to love women supporting women. If you need a beautiful dress that is in your budget and supports sustainability, this is the place. It couldn't be more perfect.
This company is amazing! My fiancé went out shopping for her wedding dress and went to four different stores.
They all told her that she was cutting it close to order a dress with our wedding four months away.
She was also a bit discouraged because we are eloping into the mountains and was having trouble finding something she loved in our price range that she would be ok running around the mountains in.
She went to her last appointment at Astraea Bridal and told me she was so relieved when she stepped in.
They knew we were eloping, knew what kind of dress she wanted and had two sections.
Dresses under $1,000 and dresses over $1,000. Also a 10% off rack.
Leslee calmed my fiancé and told her time wasn’t an issue and they could find her a dress, and knew exactly what she wanted and needed material wise for running around the mountains. My fiancé found a few dresses she loved but found her dream dress there.
She was able to put it on layaway, schedule her alterations, and have her dress ready and paid. for before our wedding.
Recommended five stars and the smile and excitement my fiancé came home with renewed our excitement for our big day!
I had the best possible experience at Astraea Bridal! Laura was amazing to work with and was able to really key in to what I was looking for before I even had an idea myself! I walked away with my dream dress today and at an amazing price point! Laura also took the time to give me vendor recommendations and set up the alterations appointment with their trusted seamstress. Can’t recommend this place enough, especially to those looking for an eco friendly bridal option!
Wow, this place is such a gem! Working with both Laura and Leslee was truly wonderful. I wasn't expecting to have such a fun experience dress shopping, and was completely blown away. I wanted to stay and try more things on, just to hang out in that beautiful space! Leslee and Laura both made me feel 100% comfortable, heard, valued, and cared for. They listened to what I was saying verbally and with my body language, and helped me narrow down to find my dress. They had great ideas and saw things that I would never have seen. I'm so happy that I went to Astraea Bridal!
Laura at Astraea Bridal gave me the best experience I could imagine when searching for my wedding dress. I came in with a pretty open mind and she easily helped me narrow down what it was I liked and disliked about each dress I tried on. She has a great read on people and I felt so supported and encouraged! Not to mention each and every dress was beautiful, as was the store itself. It was a dream experience!
I don't normally leave reviews, but this place blew my mind. I am very plus-sized, like 6'0 320lbs plus size, and I was DREADING wedding dress shopping because I knew there would be nothing in my size and I would just be reminded of how much I don't fit. I found this place at the Mount Baker Theatre Wedding Expo and it was beyond amazing, I had multiple dresses that fit, I got to try multiple styles, and I got the pick from several dresses that were all GORGEOUS.
And the prices are unbeatable, my aunt (a professional dressmaker) was at one point going to make my dress, because of the aforementioned plus-sizedness, and she said straight up even with free labor these dresses are cheaper than the cost of materials would be.
Seriously I wish I could give this place 10 stars.
I had never visited a bridal store or tried on wedding attire so I have no frame of reference. However... they are fantastic and it was a great experience. Their selection is large and they have two sections of dresses - one under $1000 and a second one for anything over $1000. Megan was my stylist and she obviously has a lot of experience because she was knowledgeable and helpful in finding what I was looking for. They have 2-month layaway available, which is a fabulous option for those of us in the midst of wedding planning. They also are able to connect you with a very skilled alterations person and they can schedule your fitting right there on the spot. I recommend Leslee and Megan (Laura was not there that day) to anyone looking for quality, selection and ease of purchasing wedding dresses and accessories.
I honestly went to this shop to look for a backup wedding dress and wasn’t expecting a lot. Laura and Leslee however blew me away in so many ways! I had been to another bridal shop and was left to somewhat fend for myself to find dresses which for me was really overwhelming. Laura walked me through and found a bunch of dresses for me. I was also planning on probably buying a dress from another shop that was the style I wanted but a few sizes too big, so she pulled one from the same designer they had in that size so I could see what that would look like and what the alterations would entail. I did go look at the other dress I was thinking about but I had found one at Astraea that I wound up liking more, so I went back and got it! Leslee got me dressed again so I could take some more pics and just see it again, and then rang me up. Will definitely recommend this shop to anyone who asks me where to get a wedding dress! These ladies know their stuff and are so helpful and kind!
I found the perfect dress within my budget and only months before my wedding. Leslee did a great job showing me a variety of dresses to try, then narrowing down to the ones that best fit my style. Her quote for alterations (from the town seamstress) was also super accurate! Their shop has so many lovely choices and I love how conscientious they are about up-cycling dresses.
Laura was amazing. She was so helpful and honest about everything to except while dress shopping and for alterations and such after! She made my experience so fun and personable :)
Astraea Bridal was such a magical experience! It was more than I could have ever asked for! The one on one with Leslee made me feel so special! She helped me find what fit my body best and had such great tips and tricks! She is truly incredible and made the entire experience something I’ll never forget!
I went in with a certain idea of dress I was looking for and walked out with a completely different one that I fell in love with. I was pushed (gently) out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I did. They were so incredibly nice and helpful and the prices were incredible!
Went in feeling really discouraged because I had been to a few other wedding dress shops and never felt good in any of the dresses I tried on. Should have gone to Astraea first! The experience was so personal and it gave me a sense of confidence. Actually the dress I ended up buying was one hand picked by Laura. I would have never picked the dress off a hanger by myself but it captured exactly what I wanted. She helped me find accessories, a tailor, and made sure I had an absolutely amazing experience! Highly recommend this shop to everyone! Loved my dress and I definitely had the “this is the one” moment everyone always talks about!
Had a lovely, once-in-a-lifetime experience at Astraea Bridal. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. She helped me feel comfortable throughout the process, answering my questions and suggesting gowns that looked great on me that I wouldn't have picked for myself. There was lots of variety and at great price points. The shop was clean and it was easy to look through gowns. Overall, a delightful experience for myself and those who came with me. I had a dress in mind when I went, which is the one I left with after trying on many others to make sure. I highly recommend this shop! Thanks so much for helping me find my perfect wedding dress.
I had the best experience finding a dress in July 2021. My two close friends and my mom and I had the shop to ourselves, and it felt like such a personal experience. I was apprehensive about dress shopping and I had no idea what I wanted. They extremely patiently guided me through a ton of options, never made me feel rushed, helped me feel confident and made the whole adventure very fun for me. Bonus that I walked out with a beautiful used dress (exactly as I wanted) and can look back on what a fun, memorable experience it was to find. Can’t recommend enough!
