Looking for a bridal boutique in Auckland that feels special, luxurious, and genuinely supportive?
Astra Bridal offers a calm, personalised bridal experience, with expert guidance from experienced stylists, designed to help brides feel confident, supported, and at ease while finding their wedding dress.
Astra North Shore first opened in 2005 in Takapuna, and we moved to our current location in Albany in 2018. As well as a bigger store and more gowns, we also have parking right outside; and as an added bonus our fantastic sister store The Bridal Outlet is right next door. So make sure you leave enough time to have a look in both.
The salon is a gorgeous airy space with big windows and lots of light.
We aren't in a retail precinct so it is a really quiet and relaxing experience.

It's a relaxed way to feel confident and ready when choosing your wedding dress.
So blown away by the service we received today with the lovely Sarah. This was my first ever appointment, and I was nervous I wouldn’t find anything on the first go. I went in with an open mind and picked out some dresses I thought would be best suited; however, it was one of the “wildcard” dresses Sarah pre-picked for me that ended up being the winner, and I absolutely adore it!
She was so helpful and listened to everything I said I did and didn’t like about the other dresses I had tried, giving honest feedback. She definitely knows her stuff! I felt very comfortable with her and really enjoyed the whole experience. I highly recommend the luxe appointment too.
Thank you, Sarah. You are a legend!

Lara and the team at Astra Bridal in Albany are amazing. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed and truly special. They take the time to get to know you and what you’re after. They also made my mum and sisters feel really welcome too.
They are kind, patient, and helpful. There was never any pressure to choose something I wasn’t comfortable with. Such a great experience, so glad I found my dress here :) I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

I visited the Astra Bridal North Shore store and was amazed by the staff and service. Sarah was so kind and welcoming, which really put my nerves at ease. Despite my initial reservations about being able to find a dress I loved within such a short timeframe, Sarah helped me find my dream dress, one I never would have even thought to try on. She was kind and genuine throughout the entire process, from trying on endless dresses at the beginning to my final fitting after purchasing my dream dress. Sarah made the entire experience so enjoyable and memorable, and I cannot thank her enough. Astra Bridal is truly awesome, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!
