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.
The service from start to finish was amazing! Such professional and knowledgeable staff. I came in with a clean slate and left with a dress that brought me to tears—it was that perfect. They were so patient, taking the time to understand my preferences, suggest alternatives, and help with accessories that suited me perfectly. I cannot thank them enough for their humour and passion in making me feel more comfortable and beautiful than I ever imagined. To the team—and especially to my AMAZING stylist, Joannah—a massive thank you! You truly made me feel like a princess. <3

This was by far the best bridal try-on experience I had. The hospitality and the ladies were amazing. I had Lara, and as a nervous first-time bride, she made me feel extremely comfortable and heard. I am so excited for my dress to arrive. Highly recommend this place! x

My consultant, Sarah, was absolutely fabulous. I went in with a general idea of what I wanted, and she pulled the most beautiful and flattering gowns for me (all of which were within my price point). Sarah has a spot-on instinct for structure, aesthetics, and what will suit different body types. I could not recommend her more highly. I really enjoyed the overall experience and would tell any of my girlfriends to come here as well!
