Lisa has been involved in bridal since she can remember. Sometimes fitting sewing and designing around raising her children or having another job. When the opportunity came up to combine her passion and a career in the industry she jumped at the chance. It took no time for her to move in to the position of manager and has led the team in Wellington for a number of years. Her expertise in gown construction is fabulous and any bride lucky enough to be with Lisa will receive the benefit of that knowledge. But the construction knowledge is only part of the enthusiasm and love of bridal that Lisa can bring to a bride's experience at Astra.

Three months out from my wedding, I started looking for a dress and ended up purchasing my dream wedding dress from Lisa at Astra Bridal Wellington. I didn’t know it was possible, but Lisa was able to advise and order a custom dress for me—taking the bodice from one style and the skirt from another—which arrived on a rush order just one month after purchasing. It was totally amazing (though I don’t recommend leaving only three months to find a dress!) I really valued Lisa’s opinion and expertise throughout the whole process to find the perfect dress for me, one that, most importantly, I felt comfortable in and that checked all my boxes. I highly recommend Lisa and Astra Bridal, and I can’t thank them enough for all their help!

Had an absolutely lovely experience finding my wedding dress at Astra Bridal. Lisa was so helpful during my appointment, and I was so pleased to find a dress that I adore. They were even able to organise a few changes to the dress (different sleeve style), which was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Words cannot describe how amazing my experience was at Astra Bridal!!! Not only that, but all the staff were so kind and lovely to deal with, and I can't forget the one and only Lisa!!! She helped me find my gown not once, but TWICE!! She was so patient while I tried on several dresses, and we both knew when we found THE ONE! I thank you all with all my heart for such an unforgettable moment, and I truly can't wait to pick up my dress!!!!
