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.
My consultant, Sarah, was absolutely fabulous. I went in with a general idea of what I wanted, and she pulled the most beautiful and flattering gowns for me (all of which were within my price point). Sarah has a spot-on instinct for structure, aesthetics, and what will suit different body types. I could not recommend her more highly. I really enjoyed the overall experience and would tell any of my girlfriends to come here as well!

I had a stylist session with the amazing Sarah yesterday at the North Shore branch, and it was so wonderful! It was my first bridal dress shopping experience, and it was amazing! She was so funny and bubbly and very open to helping me find the right dress. I ended up falling in love with one of the dresses she chose! The girls are so sweet and welcoming, and they made the whole experience stress-free and fun! I couldn’t recommend Sarah more, and also Astra Bridal in general! :)

My experience at Astra Bridal North Shore in January was absolutely amazing. It was my first time trying on wedding dresses, and Sarah made the whole process so easy and stress-free. She was easy to get along with, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly excellent at her job—her confidence in finding the perfect dress put me completely at ease. I couldn’t recommend Astra Bridal North Shore more, and I can't wait to receive my dress in a few months time.
