Astra North Shore first opened in 2005 in Takapuna, and we moved to our current location in Albany in 2018. As well as a bigger store and more gowns, we also have parking right outside; and as an added bonus our fantastic sister store The Bridal Outlet is right next door. So make sure you leave enough time to have a look in both.
The salon is a gorgeous airy space with big windows and lots of light.
We aren't in a retail precinct so it is a really quiet and relaxing experience.
I had the most amazing experience with Sarah!! I went in feeling a little nervous and worried I wouldn’t find anything, as I’m super indecisive, but she put me at ease and made the whole process so much fun! I ended up saying yes to the dress and walked out feeling so happy :) I would highly recommend!

We had the most amazing experience! As a first-time shopper, Sarah was the best guide in helping me find what I liked and made the experience so relaxing and enjoyable. The store had an incredible range of dresses, and I was lucky enough to find my perfect dress! Sarah was so helpful and personable, and she really allowed us to take our time with the big decision. The space is beautiful, welcoming, and private. I also love that I can leave my dress with them and book a time to try it on whenever I want! Overall, it was the best possible experience with above-and-beyond service. Thank you so much!

Absolutely wonderful service from the lovely ladies at Astra Bridal Albany. I had a few decision wobbles, and they handled it perfectly. I was able to try on loads of different dresses, and nothing was a problem. As a slightly older bride, I was treated with kindness and dignity. Thank you! I would highly recommend.
