I had a lovely, laid back experience with Rochelle. She allowed us to browse the gowns and offered help when needed, but never felt intrusive or too opinionated. The process was easy and so much fun!

I had the most amazing experience shopping at Astra Bridal in Hamilton and managed to find my dream dress! I was very nervous to try on dresses, as I had no idea what would suit me, but my stylist, Khym, made the whole experience so comfortable and memorable! It was lovely to bring in my mum and three best friends, and after trying on the first dress, I had so much fun. Khym squeezed me in for a second try-on of my favourite dress for extra reassurance, which was so appreciated! Thanks so much to you, Khym, and the Astra team—I can't wait to wear my dress! x

I had an amazing experience at Astra Bridal and found my dream wedding dress! Ilyese and the team were so welcoming and made me feel comfortable and excited to try on dresses and live my princess fantasy. I’m plus size and have a large chest, so I was kind of dreading wedding dress shopping, expecting to not be able to fit into anything and only be left with a couple of choices. I’d also resigned myself to having to wear a bra on my wedding day and staying away from strapless styles. BUT Ilyese gave me so many beautiful options and was super mindful of the need for extra boning in the bust, and I was able to go with an off-the-shoulder dress I loved! A bonus was Ilyese finding me a gorgeous full glitter veil. I felt seen, heard, and beautiful at Astra. I can’t thank the team enough for their help and would highly recommend Astra Bridal to any bride. <3

I had a wonderful experience at the North Shore branch. Joannah was so helpful and friendly. I felt that all the staff were invested in me and in finding something I was happy with. Joannah went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with every step of the process.

My experience at Astra Bridal was truly special. Although I had a tight schedule with my flight back to Saudi Arabia on the same day, the team made everything so smooth and enjoyable. They were incredibly kind, supportive, and efficient in helping me find the perfect dress in such a short time. The team provided several beautiful options, paid attention to every detail, and even helped me find a seamstress for small alterations. Their warmth, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference, and I truly appreciate their efforts. I wish I had more time to take some photos of the beautiful store during my visit, but maybe I’ll do that another time—just to thank you and capture some memories, not because I plan on getting married again (promise!). Thank you, Astra Bridal, for making this such a wonderful and stress-free experience.

I bought not one, but TWO dresses during my visit to Astra Bridal on the North Shore. My consultant was attentive, funny, personable, and friendly. She made sure I felt comfortable and that all my wishes and wants were being met. I initially walked in just assuming I would simply try on some dresses for an idea, and ended up walking out with a ceremony dress and a reception dress! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would be possible with my budget, but they made it happen. I am so happy and can’t wait to get married and wear my dresses (oh, and have a husband, of course). Definitely recommend!

As the MOB, watching my daughter try on various dresses elsewhere and then finding out her budget would be well and truly blown, I was overwhelmed. I was so delighted to visit Astra Bridal with her and watch her face light up when she found two dresses – one for the ceremony and one for the reception – plus veils! Not something she had planned, but totally within her budget and absolutely stunning. The staff are incredible, listening to all the critiques and making the whole experience a real joy. If you are looking for stunning dresses in a gorgeous setting with fantastic staff, book an appointment. You won’t be disappointed!

Such an amazing experience!! I loved shopping for my wedding dress, and Astra Bridal made it such a fun time! Sarah worked with my mum and me across both the Bridal Outlet and Astra Bridal, making for an easy and seamless visit. She was super helpful, bubbly, personable, and great at her job! She did a consult with me to talk about what I wanted, knew my wish list beforehand, but also knew her stock well. I ended up choosing a dress she pulled based on what I said! They were very clear about prices and informed me beforehand when a dress I wanted to try was over my budget, so there were no surprises. We stayed exactly within my budget, and I am so excited that I found the perfect dress!! These were the only appointments I made, as I knew I could find something and didn’t want to get overwhelmed. Astra Bridal made my dress shopping experience amazing, and I am so glad I chose them! Highly recommend, and I can't say thank you enough for the care and attention they showed!

The team at Astra was amazing!! Brooke and her team were so accommodating and welcoming to me and my support group! Astra helped me find my wedding dress after many consultations due to my indecisiveness. Brooke never hesitated to let me try on a million dresses or put the same dress on five times. She also helped me think of cosmetic changes (adding buttons and changing the sleeves) to the dress to give it the ‘flare’ I was after. They made me feel confident and helped me truly picture myself as a bride. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me make such an important decision. x

Had an amazing time at Astra Bridal! Emma and the staff made us feel special and truly listened to all of my needs. They were extremely helpful, supportive, and went the extra mile to help fulfill all of my requirements! On top of that, we had so much fun and laughter! I highly recommend this place to anyone searching for their dress – the selection is amazing, and the salon looks stunning. I think all ladies who want to experience the magic of trying on dresses with family and friends, along with some bubbles and nibbles, should come here! A legitimate business with a fair and clear contract when purchasing your dress. They’ll make you feel like the most important person in the world <3 Thank you, Astra Bridal!
