Lisa has been involved in bridal since she can remember. Sometimes fitting sewing and designing around raising her children or having another job. When the opportunity came up to combine her passion and a career in the industry she jumped at the chance. It took no time for her to move in to the position of manager and has led the team in Wellington for a number of years. Her expertise in gown construction is fabulous and any bride lucky enough to be with Lisa will receive the benefit of that knowledge. But the construction knowledge is only part of the enthusiasm and love of bridal that Lisa can bring to a bride's experience at Astra.

I had the best experience at Astra Bridal Wellington! I felt Lisa made the whole thing relaxed but also special. Her knowledge is fantastic, and I felt so comfortable without being pressured to buy or rushed through. The dress selection is beautiful. The hardest thing was making the final decision!

I had such a wonderful experience with Lisa. She was absolutely lovely, so warm and welcoming from the start. Lisa made me feel comfortable and at ease; her kind, body positive approach helped me truly enjoy the experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt supported and encouraged throughout the entire appointment.
Thanks to Lisa, I was able to say yes to the perfect dress. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through such a special moment.

Just wanted to share my incredible experience with Astra Bridal Wellington and to say thank you to the team there too. This was the first place I visited on my wedding dress journey, and I went to two other places afterwards in town. Astra was by far the best experience, offering amazing guidance from Lisa (and Kryslin for my final appointment), along with a wonderful and large range of dresses. Both my re-try appointments were fantastic, and I felt so supported as I found my dream dress.
Thank you so much Lisa and Kryslin, I can’t wait to come back once my dress arrives and continue the journey with you! <3
