Astra North Shore first opened in 2005 in Takapuna, and we moved to our current location in Albany in 2018.

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.

It's a relaxed way to feel confident and ready when choosing your wedding dress.
I had a fantastic experience choosing my gown at Astra Bridal North Shore. Joannah made me feel so comfortable the whole way through. I had been to other stores before but hadn't quite found the right thing.
While trying on dresses, Joannah really gave me the space I needed to discuss the elements of each dress that were and weren't working before offering her expert opinion. She took my feedback into account and used it to suggest other dresses with those elements, ultimately finding the dress I ended up saying yes to!
All in all, it really felt like my dress was entirely my choice, and I feel completely satisfied with it. I highly recommend Astra Bridal!

I had a truly wonderful experience at Astra Bridal North Shore with my stylist, Lara. Before my appointment, we had a Zoom consultation, which was a great way to prepare for the day. From the moment I arrived, Lara made me feel completely at ease. She was incredibly knowledgeable and really took the time to listen to my thoughts.
We had a lot of fun, and she encouraged me to try a variety of styles that I never would have picked for myself. Astra has such an incredible selection of dresses to suit any bride, and it was difficult to narrow down the choices! I still can't believe I said YES TO THE DRESS on my first day of bridal shopping! I couldn't be happier with my choice—the dress is perfect, and the experience at Astra was unmatched.
Their free consultation and 10% off a wedding gown purchase for medical personnel, emergency services, military staff, and their fiancés was a bonus, and it felt so special to be recognised for this.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Astra Bridal to any other brides to be!

I had a really great experience with Astra Bridal North Shore. My stylist was Lara, who was absolutely amazing at helping me find my dream dress. As someone who had never tried on any wedding dresses before, it was an exciting yet daunting task to find the perfect one.
Lara was great at listening to the style I had in mind, as well as offering styles that I hadn't thought of before. She was very welcoming, knowledgeable, accommodating, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process.
They have such a stunning range at Astra Bridal, and I found the most perfect dress for my big day. I would 100% recommend Astra Bridal to future brides.
