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.

Lisa and the team at Astra Bridal are so incredible to work with. I felt so comfortable there and so did the seven guests who came with me! It was my very first day trying on gowns, and I honestly didn’t expect to find the one, but I did! The team made me feel comfortable, supported, and special throughout the entire appointment. They really listened to what I was looking for, offered amazing suggestions, and created such a relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere. Thank you so much to everyone there for making such a huge moment in my life feel easy, joyful, and exciting. I couldn't have asked for a better place to say yes to the dress!

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.
