Testimonials
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

I forward these photos in the hope that they help to inspire other brides to use your bespoke service. I had initially found it difficult finding the "dream" dress I wanted, however I did find it at Poppy and thank you and your staff for that.

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.

I thought she was absolutely gorgeous but then again, I am her mother and I would! I know I have thanked you a hundred times, but I can’t thank you enough for all your care and attention in making sure Eilidh got the dress she wanted.

Poppy's bridal wear were amazing, I loved my veil, shoes, tiara and my hubby's cravat. Poppy's made my four very different bridesmaids look stunning and the staff were fantastic. Can not praise Poppy Bridal enough.

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've finally got my wedding pics and wanted to send you a couple to show how beautiful my dress was on the day, Rania by Pronovias. It was a pleasure to wear the whole day and lived up to my expectations in every way. We were married at Alnwick Gardens in June and had a fantastic day.
Many thanks for all your help

I just want to say an absolutely massive thank you to yourself and your wonderful staff. Choosing a wedding dress is such an important moment in a girls life and that day was made so magical for myself, Mum and sister. We still talk about it now! My sister lives in Windsor but she is adamant she wants to buy her dress from Poppy. . .she just has to wait for a proposal first!

Hi Paula & Team, 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.
Thank you for all your help in the lead up to our big day, it really was the perfect dress!

To all the lovely ladies at Poppy Bridal.
A big thank you, my dress fit like a dream and I felt like a princess. All my guests loved it.

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.
