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.
Lara and the team at Astra Bridal in Albany are amazing. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed and truly special. They take the time to get to know you and what you’re after. They also made my mum and sisters feel really welcome too.
They are kind, patient, and helpful. There was never any pressure to choose something I wasn’t comfortable with. Such a great experience, so glad I found my dress here :) I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

I visited the Astra Bridal North Shore store and was amazed by the staff and service. Sarah was so kind and welcoming, which really put my nerves at ease. Despite my initial reservations about being able to find a dress I loved within such a short timeframe, Sarah helped me find my dream dress, one I never would have even thought to try on. She was kind and genuine throughout the entire process, from trying on endless dresses at the beginning to my final fitting after purchasing my dream dress. Sarah made the entire experience so enjoyable and memorable, and I cannot thank her enough. Astra Bridal is truly awesome, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I was incredibly nervous heading into my first wedding dress shopping experience, but Astra Bridal made it such a fun and memorable time.
My stylist, Sarah, was absolutely amazing. She immediately settled my nerves and asked all the right questions to steer us in the right direction. She was so receptive to my feedback, and together we narrowed down exactly what I was looking for. Sarah is knowledgeable, kind, and refreshingly honest. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better stylist.
I ended up coming back the very next day to say yes to the dress :)
