Testimonials

I had a wonderful visit to the Astra Bridal store today. Lara was so helpful and attentive; she really listened to everything I wanted and made the experience personal. I’ve come away with the perfect dress for me. Thank you to Lara and all the staff at the North Shore store!

Just wanted to share my incredible experience with Astra Bridal Wellington and to say thank you to the team there too. This was the first place I visited on my wedding dress journey, and I went to two other places afterwards in town. Astra was by far the best experience, offering amazing guidance from Lisa (and Kryslin for my final appointment), along with a wonderful and large range of dresses. Both my re-try appointments were fantastic, and I felt so supported as I found my dream dress.

Thank you so much Lisa and Kryslin, I can’t wait to come back once my dress arrives and continue the journey with you! <3

The team at Astra Bridal Wellington were incredible!! They made me feel so at ease and made the experience just so wonderful. I have found my forever dress and that’s all down to Kryslin. She was patient with me and made me feel so comfortable.

Would highly recommend the team to all future brides—not to mention there are SOOOO many dresses to choose from!

I had such a wonderful experience here. I felt welcomed and supported, but the absolute standout was Joannah. I came in with a clear idea of what I wanted and had completely ruled out a certain style, convinced it just wouldn’t suit me. Joannah encouraged me to try it on and I’m so grateful she did. Thanks to her knowledge, I found my dream dress, one I never would have considered without her.

I can’t recommend this place enough, especially if you’re looking for someone who truly listens but also knows when to offer expert advice that could change everything. Thank you, Joannah, for making this such a special and memorable moment for me. Eti

I had the most wonderful time trying on various gowns with the team here at Astra in Wellington! Kryslin was so professional and helpful. She helped me find the most stunning dress for my upcoming wedding! The team made me feel so comfortable, relaxed, and confident. :) I had a relatively short timeframe to find a dress before heading abroad, so having such a knowledgeable stylist and friendly team really made a difference and helped settle my nerves!

Sarah has magical powers, and you absolutely must see her for a consultation, especially if you’re an ‘alternative’ bride looking for something a little (or a lot) less traditional. Sarah managed to meet my daughter’s brief of “black, sparkly, gothic, ribbed corset…” in a world of delicate, princess ivory. She delivered the impossible!

Sarah’s consultations were so welcoming and inclusive, with absolutely no judgment for wanting something outside the box, and wow, did we have so much fun! She knows her fabrics, detailing, structure, style, designers, everything, and had some great suggestions along the way.

My daughter said “yes to the dress!” Thank you, Sarah! 5*+ :)

Such an amazing experience!!! Chanelle was the best. She made me feel comfortable and free to speak my mind. I was so anxious going in, but she made the whole process flow so smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better day!! Thank you, ladies, for helping me find my dream dress.

Had the most incredible experience here with Sarah! She originally brought in my “dream” dress to try, but when nothing felt right, we took a break. They received a one-off sample that fit my criteria, and Sarah emailed me to let me know. I said yes shortly after, and I could not be any happier. Thank you so much to Sarah for being an amazing help in finding my dream gown. It was an amazing experience!

Recently was at the Newmarket store with my bestie to find her wedding dress and had such an amazing experience that we’ll be back to find mine in a few months! Amazing, helpful team who were really invested in getting to know the bride, her style, and finding the perfect dress!

Lisa and the team at Astra Bridal are so incredible to work with. I felt so comfortable there and so did the seven guests who came with me! It was my very first day trying on gowns, and I honestly didn’t expect to find the one, but I did! The team made me feel comfortable, supported, and special throughout the entire appointment. They really listened to what I was looking for, offered amazing suggestions, and created such a relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere. Thank you so much to everyone there for making such a huge moment in my life feel easy, joyful, and exciting. I couldn't have asked for a better place to say yes to the dress!
