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 most phenomenal experience with Lara and the Astra Bridal team. After a previous appointment with another boutique, I felt deflated and like I hadn’t been guided or supported in choosing a dress. With Lara, it was the complete opposite experience. She is so knowledgeable, takes the time to understand what you really want, and is honest and caring throughout the whole experience.

This was by far the best bridal try-on experience I had. The hospitality and the ladies were amazing. I had Lara, and as a nervous first-time bride, she made me feel extremely comfortable and heard. I am so excited for my dress to arrive. Highly recommend this place! x

I had such a wonderful experience at Astra Bridal North Shore. Sarah had only just joined the team, but you’d never have guessed it. From the moment I arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and instantly put me at ease. Her knowledge and professionalism shone through, and I felt completely supported and encouraged throughout — never once feeling pressured.
Thanks to Sarah, I found the perfect dress on just my third try! I couldn’t believe how quick and enjoyable the whole process was. With her help, we also paired it with the most beautiful veil.
Thank you, Sarah — I felt like a million bucks on the big day! <3
