Testimonials

Claire Forster (nee Rutter) - <em>Married on the 18th March 2011</em> The staff at Poppy's were very accommodating and made me feel that my wedding day was as important to them as it was to me. Everything from choosing the dress, to the finer details of alterations and choosing accessories was treated with patience and sincere care which is priceless. As a result I felt confident and assured that everything was in hand and I felt a million dollars in my beautiful dress on our wedding day.
You all helped make our day perfect.
Thank you

Pamela Ashford (nee Main) - <em>Married on the 31st March 2011</em> Here are some photos I hope show off the wonderful gown Tracey and her team designed for me. I found it a thrilling experience working with them to create a gown for my second wedding, a gown which was both individual and amazing at the same time. My new husband was especially happy that the gown made me look and feel fantastic.

I did enjoy putting together my ideas with Tracey and seeing them being created into my wonderful gown.

Gail Hedley (nee Slack) - <em>Married on 17th September 2010</em> I just wanted to say thank you for helping me find the perfect wedding dress, the Jenny Packham 'Joy'. I always knew I didn't want a traditional wedding dress and tried on few but they just didn't feel very me, then I tried on 'Joy' and just loved how different it was. It was such a wonderful dress to wear, I didn't want to take it off!

I wanted to send through a couple of pictures from our wonderful Wedding day, and me in my stunning Maggie Sottero dress!
She made it to New Zealand in one piece and I haven't stopped receiving compliments on how beautiful it is. I'm just so sad the day went so quickly & it will now find a prominent space in my wardrobe.

Christine Husband - Married on 22nd July 2007 Poppy Bridal is a really professional, sophisticated but friendly establishment with expert staff! I went in with an idea of what I wanted but took Paula's good advice and got a dress which made me feel a million dollars on the day. The staff know exactly what will suit you and their attention to detail at fittings is amazing. The combined efforts of the team meant I was totally confident that I would look my very best, nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend Poppy Bridal to any bride-to-be, you won't be disappointed.
