At Astra Bridal we seek out the best quality and most exciting gowns and accessories for your wedding day. If you are looking for a wedding dress in Wellington then look no further than our Wakefield Street store. This Astra Store opened in 2000 in Willis Street but then moved to our current location.
The salon is a gorgeous space with big fitting rooms and subtle colours to make you, the bride, the centre of attention.
I had such a lovely experience from beginning to end at Astra. I went in feeling quite nervous and overwhelmed, but from the moment I arrived, they made me feel so comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. My stylist, Keala, was absolutely amazing and really knew what she was talking about. She listened to everything I liked and disliked, but also encouraged me to try a style I never would have chosen for myself, and it ended up being the dress I purchased! I’m so grateful for her knowledge and guidance throughout the whole appointment.
The entire experience felt so personal, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. I highly recommend Astra to any bride looking for a warm, supportive dress shopping experience.

If you're a bride with a vision, Lisa is your GIRL! I was so ready not to go dress shopping in Wellington, as I thought there would be nothing up to my very picky standards, but I had the most amazing experience with Lisa at Astra during my evening appointment.
I had a curated list of what I wanted to try and had such a good time, coming away with two favourites. I followed up with Lisa about another dress I’d seen online that I wanted to try, and she called in a favour from Auckland to have it express shipped down just for my follow up appointment — and it ended up being the dress I chose!
She is so knowledgeable and made me feel a million bucks (having a mimosa and the place mostly to ourselves was definitely a bonus!). I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I had the most amazing experience at Astra Bridal finding my wedding dress. Lisa was absolutely incredible from start to finish — she answered every question, made me feel so comfortable, and truly went above and beyond to make the whole experience special. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me find the perfect dress. I couldn’t recommend Astra Bridal enough, especially Lisa. Thank you for making such an important moment so magical <3
