A Truly Beautiful Experience at Astra Bridal Wellington! (5 Stars)

As soon as I walked into Astra Bridal Wellington’s beautiful salon, I knew I would find my dress. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and elegant. Their collection is absolutely stunning, with a huge range of designers and styles to choose from, including their own line, which allows for customisations and makes finding your dress a genuinely exciting process.

I especially appreciated the vast range of sample sizes available, which ensured I could try on gowns that actually fit as intended. My stylist Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and had an amazing eye for what would suit me, even suggesting the dress I eventually fell in love with.

The communication throughout the entire process was easy and professional. If you are a bride-to-be in New Zealand looking for a memorable, stress-free shopping experience, Astra Bridal in Wellington is the place to go.

As a plus-size bride, wedding dress shopping has always felt very intimidating, but at Astra Bridal I felt instantly at ease. My stylist, Kryslin, had dresses from my wishlist ready to go, and the layout of the store made it really easy to find gowns in my size and see the full range available for me to try on. I felt so comfortable with Kryslin, who was so supportive and accommodating with areas I usually feel self-conscious about (like my upper arms), and she made the process so easy and fun, from getting into the dress to laughing about the glitter trail I was leaving behind in one of the ones I tried on.

I left absolutely OVER THE MOON with my dress. I highly recommend all busty, plus-size girlies check out the curve styles at AB. The built in support structure has me feeling more secure than any bra I’ve ever owned, and it passed the shimmy test with flying colours.

This was the first place I went and tried any dresses on (and where I ended up getting my dress from). From start to finish, I felt so looked after, informed and beautiful! I had Lisa helping me figure out what suited me and what I wanted and what an expert she is! I ended up choosing the one style I wasn’t sure about that she picked out for me!!! This was such a special and beautiful experience for me. Communication was amazing and the transparency throughout the process was really appreciated. Could not recommend enough!
