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 such a lovely experience at Astra Bridal Northshore. Lara was incredibly kind, patient, and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole appointment. She really listened to what I was looking for, and thanks to her I found the perfect dress. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much, Lara! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Astra Bridal. I had the best experience I could ever have hoped for, and I cannot thank Joannah and the team enough for making me feel so comfortable.

The Style & Design appointment we had over Zoom a couple of weeks before going in store was so helpful. I was able to share a list of dresses I was interested in trying on and explained what styles I disliked. On the day of my stylist appointment, Joannah already had dresses ready for me to try on, most from the list I gave her and some wild cards she had picked out.

I can truly say I would not have found my dream dress if it wasn’t for her out of the box thinking. I was a bit unsure about what I envisioned for my dress yet very adamant on what I didn’t want, but Joannah encouraged me to stay open minded and I am so glad she did. Never did I imagine I would pick a full lace wedding gown, but it was genuinely the only dress that actually made me feel like a bride.

I also loved having the option of customising the dress by making the train shorter and the sleeves detachable. The entire process felt personal and unhurried, and Joannah’s expertise really shone through. She listened to my concerns and preferences while also gently pushing me outside my comfort zone in the best possible way.

I cannot wait to wear my dream dress on my wedding day, and I’ll always be grateful for the amazing experience I had finding it :)

I cannot recommend Astra Bridal Northshore highly enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — the entire experience was nothing short of amazing.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Sarah, who helped me find my absolute dream dress. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly listened to what I wanted. Sarah has such a calming, supportive presence and made the whole experience feel so special and personal. She knew exactly how to guide me, offered honest advice, and somehow managed to find a dress that felt perfect in every way.

I never once felt rushed or pressured — only supported and celebrated. It was such a beautiful, memorable experience, and I left feeling confident, excited, and completely in love with my dress.

Thank you, Sarah, and thank you to the entire Astra Bridal team for making such an important moment so wonderful. I’m beyond grateful and would recommend this store to any bride looking for a truly exceptional experience <3
