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.

Astra Bridal and Lisa were so fabulous and accommodating for my bridal appointments. Lisa made me feel stunning and encouraged in all of the gowns I tried, as well as helped me decide on what I wanted for our big day. Cannot recommend highly enough. They had a great range of gowns and they were all absolutely beautiful.

My time at Astra Bridal was a perfect experience. The team, and especially Lisa, were so knowledgeable, kind, and totally exceeded my expectations. Lisa guided me and I was able to find the dress, and I am so thankful for her help. The dress arrived in good time, packed beautifully, and the team had great communication. Many thanks to Astra Bridal.

I loved my experience at Astra Bridal! I had been to a few dress shops before visiting, but the knowledge and expertise of Lisa at Astra Bridal were far superior to what I had encountered previously. The environment was lovely and relaxed while also being professional, and I felt 110% comfortable and beautiful in my own skin while trying on the gorgeous dresses they have to offer. They have a huge variety of styles, and after looking online, the team made sure to have the specific dresses I was interested in ready in the shop for my appointment. Huge thank you to the team, and I can’t wait to wear my dress on the big day <3
