#ASTRABRIDE Lucy Featherston

I had the best time finding my dress at Astra Bridal! I was quite anxious starting out, but Rochelle made the whole experience so fun, and the communication before the appointment was really good. I had my 'wishlist,' and Rochelle was so sweet and helpful, pulling out dresses that she just knew I'd love. I ended up choosing one of hers, and I'm obsessed! I almost wish I hadn't found my perfect dress on the first try so I could do it all again—there were so many gorgeous dresses to try on!

This was by far the best bridal try-on experience I had. The hospitality and the ladies were amazing. I had Lara, and as a nervous first-time bride, she made me feel extremely comfortable and heard. I am so excited for my dress to arrive. Highly recommend this place! x

#ASTRABRIDE Vicki-Lee Tauranga

I said YES to the dress! This day was too special not to share! I visited this beautiful store on the 4th of October had the most amazing experience. From my Zoom chat with Cindy, who explained everything so clearly, to my fitting with Brooke, who made me feel comfortable, confident, and truly beautiful — everything was perfect.

My entourage and I were greeted so warmly and cared for from start to finish, and I left with the biggest smile. A huge thank you to Cindy, Brooke, and Rosie for making the entire experience so special and memorable <3

Even if you don’t find your dress on your first visit, I can promise you’ll walk away feeling beautiful, supported, and truly valued. The team here genuinely loves what they do, and it shows in every detail.

Ilyese was wonderful in helping me find my dress. From the moment I walked in, she told me, “We’ll find you your dream dress,” and everything else felt like a weight off my shoulders. She listened to what I wanted, made sure she understood my budget, and brought in pieces that were fabulous. I was stuck between dresses by the end, and she helped me finally say yes to the dress with so much patience and support. Also, I highly recommend Astra for my plus size girlies <3

#ASTRABRIDE Piper Clare

This was the first place I went and tried any dresses on (and where I ended up getting my dress from). From start to finish, I felt so looked after, informed and beautiful! I had Lisa helping me figure out what suited me and what I wanted and what an expert she is! I ended up choosing the one style I wasn’t sure about that she picked out for me!!! This was such a special and beautiful experience for me. Communication was amazing and the transparency throughout the process was really appreciated. Could not recommend enough!

#ASTRABRIDE Sophie Akroyd

I had such a memorable time trying on dresses at Astra Bridal. From the moment I walked into the shop, I was met with a warm embrace and lots of smiles. My stylist was Kryslin, who was absolutely phenomenal. She made me feel at ease and heard when I was talking about the different styles of dresses that I liked. It was really fun getting to have this experience surrounded by my family and friends, and such a knowledgeable stylist. I would highly recommend coming to Astra Bridal Wellington for any future brides looking for an amazing dress.

#ASTRABRIDE Tayla Peebles

Had a fabulous experience at Astra Bridal Hamilton! Khym was wonderful to work with, and we had so much fun with me trying on different dresses and my bridal party seeing them all and offering opinions. I found my dress at the first appointment, and found being able to spread the cost out and pay the dress off so helpful. The sleeves were purchased separately and attached to the dress by a seamstress. I felt like a princess on our wedding day and had so many compliments on my dress (and on the glittery tulle skirt!). Thank you!

Lisa and the welcoming team were absolutely great. Lisa was attentive and an expert in every cut and style of bridal gown. I felt reassured that the gown I decided to buy was the right one for me, and I can’t wait for my wedding day. Thanks so much, Lisa!!!
