Testimonials

Thank you so much Astra Bridal, especially my stylist, Ashley, who helped me find my dream dress! As someone who is quite pale, finding a white dress with a pop of colour was exactly what I envisioned. The matching sleeves and veil completed the whole look, and I will be forever grateful.

Amazing experience at Astra Bridal. Kryslin was fabulous and helped me find my perfect dress. I picked parts of different dresses I liked and made it into one. Kryslin was very knowledgeable and nothing was ever a problem. My dress arrived quickly and it was perfect, just what I envisioned. Perfect experience and lots of fun.

I had such an amazing experience finding my wedding dress at Astra Bridal. Kryslin was an incredible stylist—she was so patient and attentive. She helped both my fiancée and me choose looks that not only suited us individually but also worked beautifully together. She made the entire process feel easy, relaxed, and really special. I would highly recommend Astra Bridal to anyone looking for a thoughtful and stress-free dress shopping experience.

Ashley made the process so easy and completely put me at ease. My mum and friends had a great time too! A big thank you to Ashley and the other wonderful women at Astra for making it such a beautiful experience. I am thrilled to have purchased my dress :) I’m really looking forward to returning to pick it up. Thank you again so much for all your help.

Could not fault the experience I had with the team at Astra Bridal Northshore, especially Joannah. Before my appointment, I was dreading dress shopping, but the professionalism and care Joannah showed made me feel so confident in myself and in the decision I made. I ended up choosing the complete opposite type of dress from what I had originally envisioned, but it was such a fun day; even my mum and bridesmaids were stunned at how fun it was.

Being based in Tauranga, the team kept the dress safe until I was able to get back up to collect it. As it was an off the rack gown, Joannah went over the dress thoroughly to ensure there were minimal to no imperfections, which gave me complete confidence in my purchase.

I recently got my wedding dress from Astra Bridal, and the experience was amazing. Khym was my stylist, and she was fantastic at listening to how I felt in each dress and suggesting what to try on next. I actually ended up purchasing one she recommended. I didn’t like it on the hanger, and now it’s my dream dress. I can’t wait to wear it so soon!

I came to Astra Bridal Newmarket with the mindset that I wouldn’t choose my dress, but when I met Ilyese, she made me feel so much better. She allowed me to nitpick the details and catered not only to my needs but also to my mum’s. She is truly a sweet soul who is amazing at her job!!

Thank you, Ilyese, for delivering the unexpected and helping me find my dress <3 Love you loads, girl, and God bless!

If you are a bride to be in Auckland, Astra Bridal is definitely the place to go. From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel incredibly welcomed, comfortable, and celebrated. They are efficient, accommodating to all shapes and sizes, and most importantly, they genuinely care about helping you find the dress that feels right for you.

My maid of honour booked the VIP experience, and I would 100% recommend it to any bride. It made the whole appointment feel so special and memorable. The staff greeted us warmly, created such a relaxed and supportive environment, and really made me feel seen and heard throughout the entire process.

Even before the appointment, the lead up was amazing. The team takes the time to get to know you, understand your vision, and guide you toward dresses that match your style and personality. I had the pleasure of working with Ilyese, and she did exactly that. She listened carefully, encouraged me to try styles I wouldn’t have picked myself, and ultimately helped me find the dress of my dreams. I honestly haven’t stopped raving about the experience since.

Another thing I really appreciated was their transparency and pricing. Wedding dresses can feel intimidating price wise, but Astra Bridal was clear, upfront, and very reasonable. Their dresses are beautiful, and the pricing is actually quite decent and affordable compared to what many brides expect. They are also very clear about their terms, payment process, and what to expect, which made the whole experience stress free.

Overall, Astra Bridal Newmarket made such an important moment in my wedding journey incredibly special. The professionalism, kindness, and expertise of the team made all the difference. If you’re starting your wedding dress journey, I cannot recommend them enough. You’ll walk in nervous and excited, and walk out feeling confident, supported, and one step closer to your big day.

I had the most amazing experience finding my wedding dress here. From the moment I walked in, the service was incredible. The stylist I worked with (shout out to Kryslin!!) was so patient, attentive, and really listened to what I was looking for. She made the whole experience feel relaxed and special rather than overwhelming, which is exactly the vibe a bride to be needs. She pulled beautiful options and helped guide me without ever being pushy, and I ended up finding a dress that is absolutely stunning and feels completely “me.” Since ordering, the communication has also been fantastic! They’ve kept me well informed throughout the process. I couldn’t recommend them, or Kryslin, more highly. Such a lovely experience during a really special part of wedding planning, and I can’t wait to get my dress! 10/10

Best experience!!! Mimosas on entry and top notch service. The girls here really know what they are doing. I ended up returning a second time to try a dress they brought up from Wellington at no extra cost to me. The process of purchasing and ordering is super simple, and the staff make you feel comfortable and in good hands. Joannah is absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, and a lovely person. I loved chatting with her throughout the experience.
