Scarlet Poppy was the 3rd boutique I went to, to find THE dress. I struggled to find a boutique that was inclusive for curvier women as well as finding a dress that was perfect for me. I couldnt recommend Scarlet Poppy enough. I emailed asking if they catered for a curvier figure and they emailed back a list of dresses they had in store in my size - they went above and beyond to meet my needs. As soon as I walked into their boutique I knew I was going to find my dress. Every single dress was beautiful. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Lois was incredible, so kind, supportive, genuine

All the ladies at Scarlet Poppy Bridal Boutique were amazing. From the minute we walked in we were welcomed with a warm smile and Dee immediately put me at ease with her knowledge and guidance, resulting in me making one of the easiest decisions Ive ever made. Dee couldnt have been any more helpful, if it wasnt the dress it was the warm cup of tea for my mum Honestly cannot thank you ladies enough for your help and support and I cannot wait to come back for my alterations once my dress arrives. Thank you all so much!! Xx

Thank you so much to Scarlet Poppy for helping me find my dress. The whole process was made so easy despite all the COVID struggles! They have such a wonderful choice of dresses and Dee was so helpful throughout the entire journey. A friendly local boutique, what more could you want! I loved wearing my dress, it fit like a glove! The fitting was so seamless! Couldn't recommend them enough :)

Thank you so much to all at Scarlet Poppy Bridal. A wonderful experience and I'm over the moon to have found my dress here. The boutique is gorgeous and has an excellent selection of beautiful dresses, arranged by style which made choosing dresses to try so easy. Being the only appointment in the boutique made it very relaxed and feel exclusive.
Paige was fantastic. She made my mum and I feel really comfortable and was very knowledgeable about the stock, making suggestions for other dresses as we went through the appointment. I can't wait to be able to return to put my dress back on when it's
