Rosie previously worked at an alterations specialist so she has fantastic technical knowledge.
Rosie has a calm and collected energy about her. She has an amazing sense of humour and only wants the best for all her brides.
Absolutely had the best experience here at Astral Bridal Newmarket. I had left my dress shopping way too late (busy busy and procrastinating), and after stressing out and realising I'm now going to have to buy off the rack, as it's too late to order anything in, I decided to book my first appointment here after seeing some online reviews.
When I walked in, the first dress I saw (which was not what I had in mind, by the way) ended up being THE DRESS and I said yes! Honestly, the team here were just fabulous and the service was incredible! They really made my whole experience from start to finish amazing, and I really didn't want to go dress shopping at all. They really looked after my maid of honour and myself, and I literally have not one complaint! Rosie was my consultant on the day, and she had us having a great old time. Impeccable service.
Rosie had Zoom called me prior to the appointment to find out more information, and when I arrived she had a bunch of options all picked out and ready to try. It was just such an easy, breezy process, and I loved that I basically had the whole store to myself. They have large changing rooms you get all to yourself, and even had a mimosa ready for us! Was giving boujee for sure!
As a plus-sized bridey who was definitely not wanting to go and try dresses, I thank you! And I highly recommend any brides, especially plus-size brides who are feeling anxious about it, to just make your appointment here and give it a go! I walked out with something I never thought I would have suited, so you really don't know until you try it! Thank you Astral Bridal, I will be singing your praises for life!

The best bridal experience I had! Lovely Rosie looked after me, and every step of the way I felt cared for and valued as a bride, whether I purchased a dress or not. She was very knowledgeable and listened to everything I wanted in a dress, providing amazing assistance the whole way through. After purchasing my dress, they also allowed me to come back and try it on again for some family members, free of charge. The best range of dresses and team!!!!

Had such an awesome experience at Astra Bridal with Rosie there. I first heard about this place via the NZ Wedding Podcast and heard a few girls had been here, so decided to book here to try on a few dresses. Had the video consult with Rosie prior to the appointment so she knew exactly what kind of style I was going for.
When we arrived we were treated to a mimosa and shown to our room. I had a few people with me (5 bridesmaids and my mum) which wasn’t an issue for them. Rosie showed me a few options she thought I’d like and we picked out a few more. It was a really great experience and I felt comfortable trying them all on.
The first one was THE dress and I knew it from the beginning. No pressure to purchase but I knew that was the one. Emailed later on to say YES to the dress. Overall great experience with Rosie at Astra Bridal and would highly recommend to any brides looking for a dress!
