Coco Connor - Wellington

How long have you worked at Astra Bridal?

I started in January 2011 so I am the newest member of the Wellington team.

What is your background?

I am in my final year as a student at drama school (Toi Whakaari) where I am studying garment construction for film and theatre.

What is your area of expertise?

I really enjoy styling the brides attire as a whole.  Balancing the gown with accessories (jewellery, veils, shoes, jackets, headpieces) so that it compliments the individual bride.

What advice would you give to brides starting the planning process?

When you are beginning your search for the gown, there really is nothing quite like trying some on to help you figure out what you are looking for.  Wedding gowns can change dramatically when put on different body types, so you really have to see yourself in some to know where to start.

What is your favourite part of working at Astra Bridal?

Seeing how happy the right gown can make the entire bridal party.  It's a very exciting time.
