Testimonials

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!

I had such an amazing experience finding my wedding dress, and I can’t thank my stylist, Lisa, enough! I came in with a clear idea of what I was looking for, but Lisa took it to a whole new level. She listened, guided me with such care, and helped me find a dress that exceeded everything I imagined. I’m so excited and incredibly grateful for the beautiful experience and outstanding service. Thank you, Lisa, for helping me find my dream dress and for making the process so special!

Astra Bridal and Lisa were so fabulous and accommodating for my bridal appointments. Lisa made me feel stunning and encouraged in all of the gowns I tried, as well as helped me decide on what I wanted for our big day. Cannot recommend highly enough. They had a great range of gowns and they were all absolutely beautiful.

My time at Astra Bridal was a perfect experience. The team, and especially Lisa, were so knowledgeable, kind, and totally exceeded my expectations. Lisa guided me and I was able to find the dress, and I am so thankful for her help. The dress arrived in good time, packed beautifully, and the team had great communication. Many thanks to Astra Bridal.
