Testimonials

I had the most amazing experience at Astra Bridal Northshore. Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with and made me feel so comfortable. She created a relaxed and enjoyable experience, picking out amazing dresses based on the style I liked, and I got to say YES to the dress! She truly made the whole experience amazing.

I had the most amazing day today at Astra Bridal Hamilton. I also had my 1 year old daughter with me, and while she was a tad loud, there was no problem with her being there. Khym made me feel like a princess. She understood exactly what I was looking for and my budget, and she found me my dream dress. Thank you, Khym – you were a dream and such a pleasure to meet and work with.

It was such an amazing experience picking out my wedding dress. The staff were amazing! I went in with no idea what kind of dress I wanted, but the team helped me and listened to everything I did and didn’t like about certain dresses, ultimately helping me find 'THE ONE.

The whole experience at Astra Bridal was lovely, and Brooke was an amazing stylist with a keen eye and excellent communication! I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process, and she really helped with my decision making :) Thank you!

I had a lovely, laid back experience with Rochelle. She allowed us to browse the gowns and offered help when needed, but never felt intrusive or too opinionated. The process was easy and so much fun!

I had the most amazing experience shopping at Astra Bridal in Hamilton and managed to find my dream dress! I was very nervous to try on dresses, as I had no idea what would suit me, but my stylist, Khym, made the whole experience so comfortable and memorable! It was lovely to bring in my mum and three best friends, and after trying on the first dress, I had so much fun. Khym squeezed me in for a second try-on of my favourite dress for extra reassurance, which was so appreciated! Thanks so much to you, Khym, and the Astra team—I can't wait to wear my dress! x

I had an amazing experience at Astra Bridal and found my dream wedding dress! Ilyese and the team were so welcoming and made me feel comfortable and excited to try on dresses and live my princess fantasy. I’m plus size and have a large chest, so I was kind of dreading wedding dress shopping, expecting to not be able to fit into anything and only be left with a couple of choices. I’d also resigned myself to having to wear a bra on my wedding day and staying away from strapless styles. BUT Ilyese gave me so many beautiful options and was super mindful of the need for extra boning in the bust, and I was able to go with an off-the-shoulder dress I loved! A bonus was Ilyese finding me a gorgeous full glitter veil. I felt seen, heard, and beautiful at Astra. I can’t thank the team enough for their help and would highly recommend Astra Bridal to any bride. <3

I had a wonderful experience at the North Shore branch. Joannah was so helpful and friendly. I felt that all the staff were invested in me and in finding something I was happy with. Joannah went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with every step of the process.

My experience at Astra Bridal was truly special. Although I had a tight schedule with my flight back to Saudi Arabia on the same day, the team made everything so smooth and enjoyable. They were incredibly kind, supportive, and efficient in helping me find the perfect dress in such a short time. The team provided several beautiful options, paid attention to every detail, and even helped me find a seamstress for small alterations. Their warmth, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference, and I truly appreciate their efforts. I wish I had more time to take some photos of the beautiful store during my visit, but maybe I’ll do that another time—just to thank you and capture some memories, not because I plan on getting married again (promise!). Thank you, Astra Bridal, for making this such a wonderful and stress-free experience.

I bought not one, but TWO dresses during my visit to Astra Bridal on the North Shore. My consultant was attentive, funny, personable, and friendly. She made sure I felt comfortable and that all my wishes and wants were being met. I initially walked in just assuming I would simply try on some dresses for an idea, and ended up walking out with a ceremony dress and a reception dress! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would be possible with my budget, but they made it happen. I am so happy and can’t wait to get married and wear my dresses (oh, and have a husband, of course). Definitely recommend!
