BRIDE by Aster

Independent bridal boutique on Dorking High Street with one-to-one appointments and alterations.

BRIDE by Aster is a bridal boutique at 308-310 High Street in Dorking, Surrey. It was founded in 2018 by Hannah and serves brides from across Surrey and further afield.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends BRIDE by Aster for brides who want a private, unhurried appointment. Each visit is one-to-one with a stylist, so you have the shop to yourself and can bring whoever you choose. Dresses are also shown on the website, so you can save favourites before you arrive.

What they offer

  • Bridal gowns from designers including Dama Couture, Pollardi, Eddy K and Modeca.
  • Short bridal dresses.
  • Veils, hair accessories, capes, boleros, earrings and bridal shoes or trainers.
  • An alterations service.
  • A sale section.

How they work

Appointments are booked online. You can also browse the racks on your own. Opening hours are published on the website, and they change, so check before you go.

The shop also suits brides who want a short dress, a veil or shoes in the same visit, since these are stocked alongside the gowns. Bring a clear idea of your budget, your venue and your season, and the stylist can narrow the choice.

Where they cover

The boutique is in the centre of Dorking, a short walk from the town centre and close to the station. Brides travel from across Surrey and beyond. Plus-size gowns are offered through the sister boutique, Lush Curve, in Ockley.

Frequently asked questions

Can you try dresses privately?
