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 was so wonderful! She made me feel so at ease and supported throughout all my dress try-ons! It can definitely be a bit daunting and overwhelming at times, so having a lovely, knowledgeable person to help was fantastic! Thank you, Lara, for helping me find THE DRESS!

I absolutely loved and highly recommend Astra Bridal for all future brides looking for a dress. I had been to other bridal dress stores around Auckland, and none of them were as approachable, friendly, and down to earth as Astra Bridal. They also made things really easy; for example, they allow you to create an account on their website, make a wishlist, and they then follow up with a Style & Design BEFORE you go in to try on the dresses. This made the appointment so easy, stress free, and timely. They also had great resources on their website, which showed they really cared about your whole experience and you as a person. I had Lara as my stylist, and she was really lovely and kind - she made me feel great. She was understanding of the things I liked and didn't like and really worked with me to get into a dress I wanted. Astra also offers a lot of customisation options, which is so awesome, and they have dresses at very affordable prices. The shop is also a dream!!! Thank you so much to the team for the beautiful experience <3

We were lucky enough to be paired with the amazing Sarah today. Our visit was primarily to help our daughter get over her nerves about the whole shopping experience. She ended up choosing the first dress she tried on! Thank you, Sarah, for making the whole experience stress-free for Ashleigh, you were the perfect mix of friendly and professional. I can't believe she found her dress so easily.
