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.

Thank you so much, Joannah, for helping me find my dream dress! If you need someone who is kind, intelligent, and has a sprinkle of magic, Joannah is your gal. She's like a built-in best friend, someone you absolutely NEED for dress shopping.

It all started by attending a Sip & See event, where my friend and I were warmly welcomed into the store with drinks. What a way to kick off the wedding dress shopping journey! Joannah was so friendly and helped answer every question I had (dumb ones included).

From there, I had my first try on appointment. I was slightly nervous, but Joannah made me feel at ease throughout the whole experience. She had already grabbed a number of dresses I was interested in and had them ready for us to start trying on. Joannah could instantly tell which ones I loved and used her great eye to suggest other dresses I hadn't even thought of.

It was the lucky last one at the end of the appointment that ended up being THE one. It was fate.

Overall, I love that Astra has a great range of affordable dresses. I ended up with a style that I never even dreamed would look good on me, but I've ended up with one that makes me feel like the best version of myself, and I can't wait to walk down the aisle.

THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

I had the most incredible experience at Astra Bridal North Shore. There were a few wedding dress stores I tried on dresses at prior to this, as I am really picky with the style of dress I wanted, and I never found the right one. Joannah made me feel really comfortable, listened to what I loved in a dress, and made the appointment feel very personal and special. I walked away super happy, having found my dream dress!

Highly recommend Astra Bridal and Joannah for her expertise. Thank you again, and I can’t wait to wear it on my special day!

I had the most magical experience finding my wedding dress, and I can’t recommend this place enough. A very special thank you to Joannah, who truly went above and beyond to make the whole experience so special.

I visited during the week, which meant it was a little quieter, and Joannah gave me so much time, care, and attention. As it was my first time ever trying on wedding dresses, I was naturally a little nervous, especially when it came to the price! But she made me feel completely at ease and made sure I was able to try on everything I wanted, and was super transparent about the cost and everything else involved.

It was also my last time trying on dresses because we found the dream one on the day! Joannah made the whole experience feel so magical, not just for me but for my mum as well. It’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.

Thank you for being so patient with us, Joannah! I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for their wedding dress, and especially Joannah, for making it such a perfect and unforgettable experience.
