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 the most amazing experience with Kryslin at Astra! I felt so comfortable from the moment I walked in. Kryslin had already pulled the dresses I had on my wishlist, as well as a few others she thought fit the style I was going for.
My family also felt so comfortable and loved the experience. It was such a special day!
I've never felt more listened to or hyped up than when trying on dresses with Kryslin. Thank you for the best experience! <3

My appointment at Astra Bridal with Lisa was a great experience. My family and I were welcomed promptly and offered refreshments, which was amazing! Lisa and her co-workers were absolutely lovely during my appointment and made the whole process so easy.
She explained different styles and gave some recommendations based on my ideas, and was patient and encouraging as I came to a final selection. Everyone in the store was so helpful on the day and has also kept me up to date with information on all aspects since ordering my dress with them.
Thank you for your time, and I highly recommend their services to any brides to be!

I went to Astra Bridal back in March to find my wedding dress—it was actually the second appointment on my agenda for the day. After my first experience at a different bridal boutique, I felt quite overwhelmed and nervous going into my appointment at Astra.
But the minute my girls and I walked through the doors, we were greeted by the lovely Kryslin, who was our bridal consultant for the appointment. She was so welcoming and understanding, especially considering I’m a first-time bride and not really much of a “dress girly.”
She allowed me and the girls to freely browse the gowns and see if anything sparked my interest to try on. Looking at 100+ dresses can get overwhelming pretty quickly, so Kryslin came to check on us and asked what I thought I was after. I told her I wanted something plain and simple but was also open to lace styles, and she recommended the Takera dress—which was actually the very first dress I tried on. I absolutely fell in love with it.
Kryslin made me and my girls feel so comfortable throughout the entire experience. She talked me through everything while I was trying on dresses, offered us champagne, and truly made the appointment feel relaxed, special, and memorable.
I ended up booking a retry appointment with Kryslin just to make sure I felt completely confident in the dress I was choosing. In the end, surrounded by my bridesmaids and mother-in-law, I said yes to the dress she originally suggested, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.
I’m so grateful for such a positive experience and would highly recommend Astra Bridal to any future bride looking for a welcoming and stress-free dress shopping experience.
