Testimonials

I had a great experience at Astra Bridal! The team there was lovely and knowledgeable, which made the experience a positive one. Joannah was so patient with me when I wasn't sure what kind of dress I was after. She listened and was great at asking me questions in order to find my perfect wedding dress. She was supportive and encouraging, and it made the whole experience fun and stress free. Finding my dress was a special and memorable experience thanks to the team at Astra Bridal North Shore.

Thank you so much to the incredible team at Astra Bridal for making the entire wedding dress process such an easy and enjoyable experience! A very special thank you to Ilyese for going above and beyond to ensure I'll look and feel my absolute best on my big day. What can often be a stressful and nerve-wracking time for brides was the complete opposite for me. From the moment I walked in, Ilyese made me feel so comfortable, truly listened to everything I wanted and needed, and was endlessly accommodating, thoughtful, and passionate. You can tell right away that she genuinely loves what she does. I never expected to find THE ONE at my very first consultation, but thanks to you, Ilyese, I did, and I couldn’t be more grateful. <3

I highly recommend Astra Bridal Newmarket if you’re looking for the most amazing bridal experience!

Amazing experience with Astra Bridal. Rochelle was extremely helpful, super welcoming, and kind. She was attentive to everything I needed, well-informed, and overall made it a great appointment. I have purchased my dress with them, and they have been efficient with emails and any questions I’ve had.

It's been a couple of weeks since saying YES to the dress, and I still can't stop raving about my experience with the Astra team, specifically Ilyese!!! She was so amazing that instead of purchasing the dress I had originally picked from their site, I ended up going with a dress Ilyese had picked out for me. I took my mum and aunt with me, and they could not stop smiling at the dress she picked out.

100/100 for the service at Astra Bridal. Literally felt like I was picking out a dress with a group of my gal pals. It did not feel awkward at all. Highly recommend!!!

A Truly Beautiful Experience at Astra Bridal Wellington! (5 Stars)

As soon as I walked into Astra Bridal Wellington’s beautiful salon, I knew I would find my dress. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and elegant. Their collection is absolutely stunning, with a huge range of designers and styles to choose from, including their own line, which allows for customisations and makes finding your dress a genuinely exciting process.

I especially appreciated the vast range of sample sizes available, which ensured I could try on gowns that actually fit as intended. My stylist Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and had an amazing eye for what would suit me, even suggesting the dress I eventually fell in love with.

The communication throughout the entire process was easy and professional. If you are a bride-to-be in New Zealand looking for a memorable, stress-free shopping experience, Astra Bridal in Wellington is the place to go.

As a plus-size bride, wedding dress shopping has always felt very intimidating, but at Astra Bridal I felt instantly at ease. My stylist, Kryslin, had dresses from my wishlist ready to go, and the layout of the store made it really easy to find gowns in my size and see the full range available for me to try on. I felt so comfortable with Kryslin, who was so supportive and accommodating with areas I usually feel self-conscious about (like my upper arms), and she made the process so easy and fun, from getting into the dress to laughing about the glitter trail I was leaving behind in one of the ones I tried on.

I left absolutely OVER THE MOON with my dress. I highly recommend all busty, plus-size girlies check out the curve styles at AB. The built in support structure has me feeling more secure than any bra I’ve ever owned, and it passed the shimmy test with flying colours.

I had the most phenomenal experience with Lara and the Astra Bridal team. After a previous appointment with another boutique, I felt deflated and like I hadn’t been guided or supported in choosing a dress. With Lara, it was the complete opposite experience. She is so knowledgeable, takes the time to understand what you really want, and is honest and caring throughout the whole experience.

Couldn't recommend Astra and the team enough! I had Rochelle, and she was beyond lovely and extremely knowledgeable. She knew what would suit my body and made me feel really comfortable. Bring on the big day!

Astra Bridal was the first bridal shop I visited on my journey to finding my wedding dress. Rochelle was so kind, understanding, and patient with me. She instantly made me feel comfortable and put my worries at ease! This set the bar VERY high for the following bridal shops I visited over the next 6 months. Out of all the bridal shops, Rochelle was the only one who reached out to me a few times to see how I was doing and invited me to try on more dresses each time. This meant a lot to me after my health diagnosis. I had been feeling even less confident and put off searching for a dress. Rochelle gave me the extra boost I needed (without being pushy), and last month I was able to say yes to the dress! Thank you so much for everything, Rochelle! You are a very special woman with a heart of gold.

I had the best time finding my dress at Astra Bridal! I was quite anxious starting out, but Rochelle made the whole experience so fun, and the communication before the appointment was really good. I had my 'wishlist,' and Rochelle was so sweet and helpful, pulling out dresses that she just knew I'd love. I ended up choosing one of hers, and I'm obsessed! I almost wish I hadn't found my perfect dress on the first try so I could do it all again—there were so many gorgeous dresses to try on!
