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.
My experience at Astra Bridal was honestly so beautiful and unforgettable. From the moment I walked in, Ashley and Liz made me feel so welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. As an Island woman and a plus-size bride, I was honestly quite body conscious going into my very first wedding dress appointment, but these beautiful ladies made the entire experience feel safe, special, and uplifting.
They were incredibly patient with me while I tried on different dresses, listened carefully to the inspiration photos I showed them, and genuinely worked with me to find styles that matched the vision I had in my heart. At no point did I feel rushed or uncomfortable — they supported me with so much kindness, encouragement, and genuine care throughout the whole process.
Because of Ashley and Liz, I ended up finding the dress of my dreams in one visit, which honestly felt so surreal and emotional for me. They made me feel beautiful, confident, and celebrated in every way.
Thank you both for taking such amazing care of me during such an important moment in my life. I’ll never forget the love, patience, and kindness you showed me. I’m so incredibly blessed and grateful for this experience.
To all my Island ladies, especially my plus-size brides — I wholeheartedly recommend Astra Bridal. You will be taken care of, respected, uplifted, and made to feel beautiful throughout the entire process. You will not be disappointed <3

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!
