With a devotion to fabrics, embellishments and silhouettes it was natural for Ilyese to complete a Fashion Design degree from AUT. This knowledge and then experience in the fashion industry made Ilyese a natural addition to the team in Auckland. She has progressed to lead the team and teach them all the knowledge she holds. Brides who have a booking with Ilyese will be lucky recipients of her expertise in garment construction combined with her knowledge of how a gown can be tailored for the perfect look.
Ilyese and the team were so welcoming and helpful during this experience. They were really patient and clearly know what they're doing - it was so easy for me to feel confident in my decision and I cannot wait for my big day. Thank you Astra Bridal Newmarket!

The team at Astra Bridal Newmarket are so fantastic and welcoming. Ilyese is incredible at what she does and made me feel at ease the moment we started. She guided me through the process with amazing knowledge and expertise. She made me feel so confident and comfortable. I couldn't recommend Ilyese and the team enough. I was so excited I got to say yes to the dress at Astra Bridal Newmarket and I can't wait to go back again soon for my follow-up appointments.
