At Astra Bridal we seek out the best quality and most exciting gowns and accessories for your wedding day. If you are looking for a wedding dress in Auckland then look no further than our Newmarket store. The original Astra Store opened in Symonds Street in 1996 - how bridal fashion has changed! In 2022 we are exciting to move to Newmarket, and still deliver the same excellent service and a chance to share in your wedding day by helping you find the perfect wedding gown.
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

Absolutely had the best experience here at Astral Bridal Newmarket. I had left my dress shopping way too late (busy busy and procrastinating), and after stressing out and realising I'm now going to have to buy off the rack, as it's too late to order anything in, I decided to book my first appointment here after seeing some online reviews.
When I walked in, the first dress I saw (which was not what I had in mind, by the way) ended up being THE DRESS and I said yes! Honestly, the team here were just fabulous and the service was incredible! They really made my whole experience from start to finish amazing, and I really didn't want to go dress shopping at all. They really looked after my maid of honour and myself, and I literally have not one complaint! Rosie was my consultant on the day, and she had us having a great old time. Impeccable service.
Rosie had Zoom called me prior to the appointment to find out more information, and when I arrived she had a bunch of options all picked out and ready to try. It was just such an easy, breezy process, and I loved that I basically had the whole store to myself. They have large changing rooms you get all to yourself, and even had a mimosa ready for us! Was giving boujee for sure!
As a plus-sized bridey who was definitely not wanting to go and try dresses, I thank you! And I highly recommend any brides, especially plus-size brides who are feeling anxious about it, to just make your appointment here and give it a go! I walked out with something I never thought I would have suited, so you really don't know until you try it! Thank you Astral Bridal, I will be singing your praises for life!
