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.
The Newmarket Astra Bridal team were an absolute dream for me as a nervous plus sized bride! I dropped in for a Sip & See just to get my head around what styles of wedding dress were available at which price points, and left knowing I would buy my dress from this store because of how welcoming, fun, supportive and attentive the whole crew was. I really recommend coming along to one of these nights if you don't know where to start with your dress shopping experience!
I went back a few weeks later for a consultation with Brooke and was amazed at her attention to detail all the way from the dresses she pulled for us to start (most of which were ones I'd pointed out at my first visit) through to finding THE dress which truly felt like they'd got it in store just for me! I was so nervous about my size and finding something comfortable, but Brooke never put me in a single dress that made me feel insecure with my body and she was quick to push away even a second of doubt. I felt she heard and saw me for who I was, made sure I was comfortable the entire way through and kept up some great yarns.
It was amazing having Ilyese pop in and join us for the yarns, offer advice, and hype me up, amidst her busy mahi as an on-site designer. The only possible downside to the experience at Astra Bridal Newmarket is you might find yourself trying to convince your fiancée that you need to invite the gals to your wedding <3

Recently was at the Newmarket store with my bestie to find her wedding dress and had such an amazing experience that we’ll be back to find mine in a few months! Amazing, helpful team who were really invested in getting to know the bride, her style, and finding the perfect dress!

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
