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 best experience here last August! I was 16 weeks pregnant, and the stylist was so helpful in choosing styles that were flattering for my slight bump. I thought I knew what I wanted in my dress; however, the stylist encouraged me to try one or two different options and chose a dress for me that didn’t match what I thought I wanted. It ended up being my favorite of the whole session! I couldn’t recommend this team enough to anyone looking for their dream dress.

I recently bought my dress from Astra Bridal and cannot speak highly enough about the experience. There was such a lovely array of dresses to choose from! We were looked after by the manager, Sarah, who knew exactly what I wanted while also taking the time to consider my family's opinions, which I really appreciated.

After going down the path of online wedding dresses, which turned out to be an absolute nightmare, I turned to Astra Bridal with only 8 weeks until my wedding day! Joannah and Sarah were absolutely phenomenal. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I was made to feel special and right at home, with a mimosa in hand. I really don't like my body, and having other people see it would normally feel stressful. But Joannah took it all in stride and made me feel so comfortable. I had my heart set on a different dress before I arrived, but the one I decided to purchase at Astra Bridal is just amazing. I love every bit of it. Thank you for everything.
