#ASTRABRIDE Tilly MacGregor

I had an amazing experience at Astra Bridal! The girls immediately made us feel so welcomed and special, and Ashley, my consultant, was incredible to work with. She was so patient, listened carefully, and helped make me feel so beautiful in the wedding dress I chose.

Ashley went above and beyond to make my experience incredibly positive, even staying after closing time to help me pick the perfect veil. I would highly recommend this store to any bride wanting to find their dream dress, and if Ashley is your consultant, your experience will be amazing!

Thank you, Astra Bridal team!!

The team at Astra Bridal are absolutely incredible. Ilyese was so knowledgeable and helped me find my perfect gown when I came in with a frustratingly wide range of ideas about what I wanted. Thank you so much!

I had such an amazing experience finding my wedding dress here! From the first Zoom call to the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed. The selection of dresses was beautiful, with so many styles to choose from, which made the whole process really exciting rather than overwhelming.

The store itself is beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the whole experience feel special and relaxed.

A special thank you to the lovely consultant, Ashley, who helped me — she was incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely listened to what I wanted. She made me feel comfortable the entire time and offered helpful suggestions without ever being pushy. Her knowledge and eye for detail made such a difference, and she truly helped me find the one.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience while choosing such an important dress. Highly recommend to any bride-to-be!

My experience at Astra Bridal was honestly so beautiful and unforgettable. From the moment I walked in, Ashley and Liz made me feel so welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. As an Island woman and a plus-size bride, I was honestly quite body conscious going into my very first wedding dress appointment, but these beautiful ladies made the entire experience feel safe, special, and uplifting.

They were incredibly patient with me while I tried on different dresses, listened carefully to the inspiration photos I showed them, and genuinely worked with me to find styles that matched the vision I had in my heart. At no point did I feel rushed or uncomfortable — they supported me with so much kindness, encouragement, and genuine care throughout the whole process.

Because of Ashley and Liz, I ended up finding the dress of my dreams in one visit, which honestly felt so surreal and emotional for me. They made me feel beautiful, confident, and celebrated in every way.

Thank you both for taking such amazing care of me during such an important moment in my life. I’ll never forget the love, patience, and kindness you showed me. I’m so incredibly blessed and grateful for this experience.

To all my Island ladies, especially my plus-size brides — I wholeheartedly recommend Astra Bridal. You will be taken care of, respected, uplifted, and made to feel beautiful throughout the entire process. You will not be disappointed <3

I said yes to the dress! I had a great experience from start to finish. The team kindly arranged for a dress I’d seen online at another branch to be couriered over for me to try on, which I really appreciated.

Ashley was incredibly patient and picked out several beautiful dresses for me to try. She also offered very helpful tips and recommendations for alterations, as well as ways I could enhance the dresses if I wanted to.

In the end, I walked away with a gorgeous dress at an incredible price. I still can’t quite believe I found such a beautiful gown at such amazing value. I’m so grateful for all the help and would absolutely recommend to any future bride looking for a dress!

I had the most incredible experience at Astra Bridal North Shore. There were a few wedding dress stores I tried on dresses at prior to this, as I am really picky with the style of dress I wanted, and I never found the right one. Joannah made me feel really comfortable, listened to what I loved in a dress, and made the appointment feel very personal and special. I walked away super happy, having found my dream dress!

Highly recommend Astra Bridal and Joannah for her expertise. Thank you again, and I can’t wait to wear it on my special day!

I had the most magical experience finding my wedding dress, and I can’t recommend this place enough. A very special thank you to Joannah, who truly went above and beyond to make the whole experience so special.

I visited during the week, which meant it was a little quieter, and Joannah gave me so much time, care, and attention. As it was my first time ever trying on wedding dresses, I was naturally a little nervous, especially when it came to the price! But she made me feel completely at ease and made sure I was able to try on everything I wanted, and was super transparent about the cost and everything else involved.

It was also my last time trying on dresses because we found the dream one on the day! Joannah made the whole experience feel so magical, not just for me but for my mum as well. It’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.

Thank you for being so patient with us, Joannah! I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for their wedding dress, and especially Joannah, for making it such a perfect and unforgettable experience.

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.
