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 such an amazing experience finding my wedding dress, and I can’t thank my stylist, Lisa, enough! I came in with a clear idea of what I was looking for, but Lisa took it to a whole new level. She listened, guided me with such care, and helped me find a dress that exceeded everything I imagined. I’m so excited and incredibly grateful for the beautiful experience and outstanding service. Thank you, Lisa, for helping me find my dream dress and for making the process so special!

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.
