Position Profile: Bridal Boutique Attendant

Position Type: Part-Time | Entry-Level | Room to Grow

About us:

Astraea Bridal is a woman-owned, bridal boutique based in the heart of Skagit Valley. Founded in 2019 by Laura Dichesare and Leslee Hughes, Astraea was created to challenge the traditional bridal industry by offering something radically different: luxury, sustainability, and full-spectrum inclusivity all while delivering an empowering experience.

We are feminists and unapologetic advocates for women and marginalized voices. We make every person who walks through our doors feel seen, celebrated, and supported—no matter their size, budget, gender identity, background, or personal style. We serve LGBTQ+ clients with pride, and we champion body positivity in every fitting, every gown, every mirror moment.

Our shop blends boutique-level service with eco-conscious values. With over 500 gowns in near-new condition, we’re reshaping what bridal looks like—accessible, sustainable, and fiercely inclusive. We use upcycled fixtures, zero single use plastic, and plant a tree through the National Forest Foundation for every gown sold.

Clients often describe their experience with us as “healing,” “refreshing,” and “like shopping with your most supportive friends.”  We are proud to stand apart not just in what we sell, but in what we stand for—equity, empowerment, and joy.
