I had a great experience with Astra Bridal Newmarket! My consultant, Kaori, helped me with my selection of dresses and made me feel very comfortable. Her guidance and enthusiasm made the appointment so enjoyable I fell in love with my gown! Thanks, team! :)

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.

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!
