Testimonials

I loved my experience at Astra Bridal! I had been to a few dress shops before visiting, but the knowledge and expertise of Lisa at Astra Bridal were far superior to what I had encountered previously. The environment was lovely and relaxed while also being professional, and I felt 110% comfortable and beautiful in my own skin while trying on the gorgeous dresses they have to offer. They have a huge variety of styles, and after looking online, the team made sure to have the specific dresses I was interested in ready in the shop for my appointment. Huge thank you to the team, and I can’t wait to wear my dress on the big day <3

Lisa and the team at Astra Bridal were brilliant. Lisa was exceptional. She knows everything there is to know about wedding dresses. She is patient, honest, and accommodating. I would totally recommend Astra Bridal. They have a wide range of styles and sizes, and the whole experience and atmosphere were awesome.

Astra Bridal Newmarket has been fabulous in helping me choose my dream wedding dress. Right from the start, they listened to my dress likes. Ilyese and her team were very accommodating with trying on and organising the correct size to be available for me. She just knew she had to get me in that dress! <3 I was so pleased I could come back for a retry, which then sealed the deal on choosing my dream bridal gown. <3

I would highly recommend them, and it is clear Ilyese is passionate and committed to helping you find “The One.” Brilliant bridal experience. <3

Kryslin and the Astra Bridal team made my wedding dress shopping such a special, memorable, and enjoyable experience. They are such a knowledgeable and professional team and made me feel relaxed immediately. Thank you so much. This was one of the highlights of my wedding planning journey.

Kryslin and the team at Astra Bridal were everything I could have hoped for and more. They were so patient with me and allowed me to come into the store multiple times over the span of two months while I searched for my perfect dress. They provided me with lots of information and explained things clearly, so I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend this store to anyone in the Wellington region who is looking for a dress!

Joannah was an absolute angel. She made me feel so comfortable and heard, and managed to pick my wedding dress on her first go! She is also incredibly kind and very funny – thank you so much! I cannot recommend Astra North Shore any more highly.

Kryslin was an amazing stylist, the whole experience was very relaxed, informative, and super helpful! I found the perfect dress and, with her help, added extras that really elevated the overall look. The platter provided was incredible, and the store setup was perfect, with amazing lighting and plenty of space. The team has been keeping in touch regularly while waiting for the dress to arrive and has continuously stated that I can reach out any time with any questions. I couldn’t recommend the overall service any higher!

I honestly can’t say enough good things about the team at Astra Bridal. From the moment I walked in, the girls were so lovely and incredibly helpful. I had put off dress shopping for a while because I’m a curvy girl and super self-conscious, and I was genuinely worried I wouldn’t find anything that fit or made me feel good.

It all started on a whim when I attended their Sip & See event a few weeks ago. That’s where I saw THE dress and completely fell in love. I had tried on dresses at another store beforehand, where I was told I had to order straight away, and I left feeling really rushed and unsure.

But Astra was the complete opposite. The girls reassured me that I didn’t need to stress, saying, “Leave the worrying to us, you just pick the dress,” and that energy completely changed the experience for me. Yes, the dresses are an investment, but they’re absolutely stunning, and you can tell the quality is there. More importantly, the team makes sure you feel taken care of every step of the way.

I felt seen, supported, and celebrated, exactly how every bride should feel. A special shoutout to Khym and Rochelle, you both made this such a beautiful and empowering experience. I’m so grateful I found Astra Bridal and would 100% recommend them to anyone starting their dress journey. <3

Absolutely loved my experience at Astra Bridal! Ilyese and the team were incredible. They made me feel so at ease from the moment I walked in. Their helpfulness, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference in finding my dream dress. It truly felt like they were sharing in the journey with me, from the hugs to the happy tears! I can’t thank them enough for making this experience so special. I would definitely recommend Astra Bridal to anyone looking for not just a dress, but an unforgettable experience.

I had such a great experience with Sarah! She made the entire appointment so much fun and knew what dresses to pick that both suited my style and gave me an opportunity to explore something new! I feel like I may have found my dress and will definitely be back soon! Thank you for making my first experience so amazing. 100% would recommend to any bride to be.
