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 said yes to my dream dress! I was so nervous and anxious going into this appointment, as I struggle massively with body issues/image. Lisa made me feel so comfortable and really made my experience incredibly enjoyable. I walked away with a dress I cry about every time I think about it! It is literally perfect and Lisa was the one who picked it for me, rather than myself! The atmosphere was incredible and incredibly inclusive. I didn't feel rushed and felt that everything I was wanting was heard. I would recommend Astra Bridal to any bride.

Sooo happy I chose Astra Bridal Wellington to be my first and only bridal shop to shop for my wedding dress <3 Lisa was absolutely amazing from my first consult. She made me feel so comfortable, welcome, and respected, no matter what dress I tried on. Lisa was also very patient with me in making my decision on my dream dress. So grateful for you Lisa - you truly look after your customers so well and not to mention your bridal store is sooo beautiful and soo welcoming :) If you're a bride to be, I totally recommend you come and see Lisa and the team here at Astra Bridal Wellington <3 I am still yet to have my special day, so I won’t share my chosen dress just yet, but trust me it is absolutely beautiful just as all of their dresses are :)

Lisa was very welcoming and helpful. I went in with no preconceived ideas of what I liked and they were able to help me narrow it down and made suggestions that I wouldn't have picked for myself - one of which was the one I ended up buying!
