Best experience!!! Mimosas on entry and top notch service. The girls here really know what they are doing. I ended up returning a second time to try a dress they brought up from Wellington at no extra cost to me. The process of purchasing and ordering is super simple, and the staff make you feel comfortable and in good hands. Joannah is absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, and a lovely person. I loved chatting with her throughout the experience.

I had the best experience with Astra Bridal! I can’t recommend them enough! The service was amazing from the first appointment to the last. My dress was more than I could have ever wanted! Lara was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. She showed me all the options and made everything possible. She gave her honest opinion, and remembered me from each appointment, which made the experience feel so personalised. This photo doesn’t do the sparkle justice! I got so many compliments on it and the sparkle!

I was so happy with my experience at Astra Bridal. Sarah helped me on the day, she is so personable, kind, and really went above and beyond. She was patient and took the time to understand my style, then helped me find my dream dress! My family felt so included, and we just had so much fun. Thank you, Sarah!
