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 a great experience with Astra Bridal North Shore. Sarah was professional and friendly. She listened to my ideas but also showed me dresses I wasn't thinking of, as she has a good eye for design, and that's what you need, as you can get lost in wedding dress shopping. She did her homework when I went back the second time to try a few of my shortlisted dresses and some new ones she found for me. I ended up taking a dress on my second visit. :) During the try on, she made sure you were clipped up properly to show the best version of the dresses on you too. Highly recommend the shop. We had great fun trying on dresses.

Had the most amazing experience with Joannah at Astra Bridal in Northshore! I was very nervous about the process as a plus size bride, but they made the experience so amazing and so much fun trying on all the dresses! Found the dress of my dreams and said yes to the dress! Loved every minute of it, the girls there were so kind and supportive. 1000/10 would definitely recommend!
