Astra North Shore first opened in 2005 in Takapuna, and we moved to our current location in Albany in 2018. As well as a bigger store and more gowns, we also have parking right outside; and as an added bonus our fantastic sister store The Bridal Outlet is right next door. So make sure you leave enough time to have a look in both.
The salon is a gorgeous airy space with big windows and lots of light.
We aren't in a retail precinct so it is a really quiet and relaxing experience.
I had the most phenomenal experience with Lara and the Astra Bridal team. After a previous appointment with another boutique, I felt deflated and like I hadn’t been guided or supported in choosing a dress. With Lara, it was the complete opposite experience. She is so knowledgeable, takes the time to understand what you really want, and is honest and caring throughout the whole experience.

My sister planned for me to come down to sort my dress, and I’m so glad she did. The staff were incredibly helpful, explained the process amazingly, and made it completely stress free. Sarah was just awesome; we had so many giggles during the process—it felt more like a girls' lunch than a stressful and overwhelming 'must make a decision' situation. The selection of dresses was absolutely amazing, and the store was private and welcoming. Sarah has continued to stay in touch with me, even after the viewing. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a fun and carefree experience, along with a gorgeous dress for your special day! Thanks, Sarah!

I had an amazing time today at Astra Bridal with Sarah. Although I wasn’t the bride-to-be, it was great to be a part of the whole experience. Sarah was fantastic, knowledgeable, and inclusive, and the bride said 'Yes to the dress!' :). Highly recommend.
