Testimonials

Amazing experience choosing my wedding dress. Khym was lovely, so helpful with suggestions, wonderfully patient, and made finding my dress just the best experience! Very clear about the process and options, and her helpfulness hasn’t ended with the purchase, she’s kindly offered further help with my additional enquiries! Thanks so much, Khym :)

Chrissy definitely made my bridal shopping an experience that I will never forget. She was so patient, listened to exactly what I wanted in a gown, and helped me find the perfect dress. She made me feel so special and helped me find my dream dress! Could not recommend Astra Bridal in Albany enough!

I had the most amazing experience finding my dress at Astra Bridal Hamilton. It was my first time trying dresses and I had no idea what I wanted, but Khym made it super easy and found the perfect dress for me! It was such a calming environment and Khym made me feel completely at ease. There is also a massive variety in dress styles, making it even easier to find the perfect dress if you have no idea like me! I would absolutely recommend to any bride to visit Astra as it was an absolutely amazing experience, and I managed to find my dress on the first try. Even better if you can go to Hamilton and have Khym as a stylist as she is absolutely amazing! Thanks so much Khym I can't wait to wear my amazing dress!!

The ladies were super helpful, patient & friendly. They made the process a lot less daunting & it felt less stressful with their help & insight! I didn't feel like ‘just another bride to be.’ They made it a very special experience, definitely one that my mum & I will always remember x

Thank you so much for how amazing you have been Courtney! I’m so so happy with my dress. I truly feel like it was meant to be. I rang my Nana yesterday to tell her I bought my dress and she asked if it was the one I showed her years ago and it was so nice to tell her it was! You have made my dreams come true with finding the dress for me. You are so caring and thoughtful, and I’m so grateful to have had you be part of my search <3

Khym was my stylist at Astra Bridal in Hamilton and she was outstanding. I requested to try a variety of gowns, but the dress I have chosen was actually my 'stylists' choice'! Khym is lovely and calm to be around, and was great with myself and with my family. She made me feel comfortable, was very patient, and guided me along my dress shopping journey seemingly effortlessly. Khym got to know me quickly in terms of body shape and personality, and it is because of her talent and great work that I came to such clarity about what I want to wear for our special day. The whole team in Hamilton are great and I look forward to returning to pick up my dress and look for important accessories. The shop is light, well laid out and a lot of fun to visit. Definitely worth a visit!!

Absolutely great experience, loved every minute. Lara was so understanding, accommodating and made the experience so fun! Love my dress!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I reached out to Astra Bridal after a very negative experience with another bridal boutique and absolutely wished I had of come here first. At my Zoom pre-consult, Lisa listened, reassured, guided and made me feel so excited! A few days later, I came in for my in person appointment. We explored lots of options and tried on so many dresses! There is a very wide range of styles, sizes etc, and you are able to purchase directly from the hanger - which is exactly what I did. Astra Bridal are so lovely, knowledgeable and go above and beyond! Thank you so much Lisa and the wonderful team at Astra <3 ...no photos of the dress, as my wedding hasn't happened yet.

I had stylist named Kryslin - 100/10. I was made to feel comfortable from the get go. She pushed me enough out of my comfort zone to find “the one”! I went in feeling anxious and left holding a moment I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. Kryslin knew when to give us time to think and discuss all together, and when to return, advice on what shapes I should wear and, confidence to try something new. I left feeling beautiful. Thank you Kryslin and the crew at Astra Bridal Wellington.

Amazing service and range. Thank you Khym for all your help.
