I came into the store with my mum from Christchurch to find my dress. I had booked an appointment and had Rosie as my stylist. I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience! I arrived a bit early, but they were more than happy to let us in straight away. We were immediately seated in our room and offered a drink. Rosie introduced herself—she had such a bright and bubbly personality, which made me feel very comfortable! I shared which styles I was interested in, and she showed me similar options as well as a few she thought would suit me and my outdoor wedding. All the dresses were beautiful, amazing quality, and reasonably priced. The dress I ended up choosing was actually one Rosie had picked out! I was able to take the dress home that day and even got to meet the designer, which was so cool! Everyone was so accommodating and genuine. I can’t thank Rosie enough for being so patient and for making my bridal experience so special. I will highly recommend this store to future brides (:

Rosie at Astra Bridal Newmarket is an absolute gem! She was extremely professional, had a stellar eye for detail, and still managed to be so calm and kind during the session. It honestly felt like I had a trusted friend in the room who completely understood my tastes :) I still can’t believe it, but I said yes to the dress on just my second day—and at only the second store! So efficient, really reasonably priced, and the store has a great collection of pieces. I’d definitely recommend it!

I had the best experience at Astra Bridal Newmarket!!!! I could not recommend this store enough. From the second I walked in, everyone was so welcoming, and I felt comfortable right away. Rosie was an absolute professional and gave really good, honest feedback. Nothing was too much trouble for her whatsoever. Their website comes with a warning that you might find your dress at the first appointment, which I didn’t believe… but here I am, with the dress of my dreams after my first appointment! So, if you are thinking about booking a try on with Astra Newmarket, I highly recommend doing so. I was somewhat anxious about dress shopping, but they took all the stress out of it and made it a really fun day. 10/10 <3
