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 great experience with Sarah! She made the entire appointment so much fun and knew what dresses to pick that both suited my style and gave me an opportunity to explore something new! I feel like I may have found my dress and will definitely be back soon! Thank you for making my first experience so amazing. 100% would recommend to any bride to be.

I had such a wonderful experience during my wedding dress appointment, all thanks to Joannah! She was incredibly warm, helpful, and genuinely supportive. I honestly lost count of how many dresses I tried on that day, but Joannah remained so patient and never once showed a hint of frustration or tiredness, even though I was working with a minimal budget. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Her easygoing nature made everything feel relaxed and enjoyable. I truly felt heard and cared for.
Thank you, Joannah, for turning what could have been a stressful day into such a memorable and positive one! <3

Had the absolute best time with Joannah. I came in a week prior to my appointment for measurements, which made picking a dress on the day so much easier. We weren’t sure if my dream dress would arrive in store before my appointment (it did!). Joannah popped it to the side, and I was able to purchase it the next day! Very happy with the service, and I felt very comfortable. Would highly recommend!
