Your fittings will be at the studio, where the dresses are designed and made. We love you to see what we’re working on, and, the core of our brand is creating a unique experience for our brides.
Whether you choose from our vintage collection of one of a kind dresses made in repurposed vintage fabrics, our customisable made to order collection, or have a bespoke dress made just for you, your journey with Poppy Perspective will be fun, relaxed and enjoyable. This is such an exciting time in your life and we are always so excited to be chosen to be part of it.
Our aim is to make women feel gorgeous and confident on their wedding day and to have special memories to hold on to long beyond.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Hi I’m Phiney, the designer, maker and woman behind Poppy Perspective.
I was born and raised in London but followed my dream of living by the sea a few years ago, to set up my own business and start a family on the beautiful Kent coast.
Originally I studied Womenswear design at London College of Fashion and over the years have gone on to work across all areas of the industry from design and manufacturing to styling and photography.
I have always had a love of vintage and antique textiles and most recently worked in restoration, but something kept pulling me back to bridal. Poppy Perspective, named after a dear loved one, was born when a friend asked me to make her a bespoke wedding dress and has grown from there.
I’m passionate about sustainability, especially within the fashion and wedding industries and and now focusing mostly on my vintage range, creating one of a kind dresses from vintage textiles.
For more information or to arrange an appointment get in contact, I’d love to hear from you.
KIND WORDS
Sophie
I cannot thank you enough for everything!! I saw your page and knew I wanted one of your dresses - this dress in fact! Before I could get an appointment with you I tried on 30 dresses - all of them lovely but none of them 'me'. You were so welcoming and I felt so comfortable instantly the dress was stunning and I felt beautiful and like me which ultimately exactly how I wanted to feel on my wedding day! I had so many compliments! You are just so talented so thank you xxxx
Side note out of the 5 shops I went to you were the only one who didn't say I would 'loose Weight with the stress anyway' which made me love you even more 😂😂

Mate I am so so obsessed with my dress. Couldn't have been happier and I got so many incredible compliments. That dress, with my hair and everything else made me feel the best I've ever felt and the most boho possible.
Thank you for being such a big part of my day. You weren't there, but I feel so lucky I found you because my day wouldn't have been so perfect without you.
You are so uniquely talented. Never stop doing what you are doing and making boho brides everywhere so happy. 🥰

Phiney!!! THE DRESS. Yesterday was my wedding and THE DRESS. It was beyond what I hoped for, just ridiculously perfect. Pretty much every guest, old, young, children too, and not just the women, spoke about my dress with genuine awe. Not just “Oh you look lovely” but spent time wanting to know who made it, how it was made and from what, where did I find such an amazing thing, it’s obviously made for you yes, etc. The oohs and aahs when I explained. I cannot wait to see the photos and share them with you. Thank you for making me feel like a goddess 🥰🥰🥰

Everyone has different experiences with wedding planning and finding the right wedding dress is no exception to this. I am so glad that through my photographer I found Phiney at Poppy Perspective and had the most chilled experience in finding ‘the one’. I had seen a lot of her dresses modelled effortlessly in styled shoots with our photographer so I was mega excited about getting to try them on. It’s important to me that our day isn’t wasteful which is one of the reasons I love Phiney’s ethos, all dresses are designed and made by hand in her studio and nothing is mass-produced, or will ever go to waste. She works closely with a handful of British suppliers and mills and keeps all her left over scraps for toiling new designs and making smaller components like covered buttons and bias binding. That’s all very well and good but what about the trying on experience? It was bliss. I only had experience of one other bridal shop and whilst it wasn’t awful I found the sales assistant quite pushy and when you’re looking at spending ££££ the last thing you want is to be pushed into a decision. Phiney was not like that in the slightest she is passionate about her dresses and makes suggestions of where things could be altered to better suit, but I never felt pressured into choosing something there and then.
"I found Phiney after months of trailing around bridal shops and feeling increasingly panicky about finding a dress. I knew what I wanted but couldn't find it in anywhere! She asked lots of questions about what I was looking for and what I liked about certain styles and then advised me on materials and shades to suit my body shape/colouring. We had regular fittings as she made the dress to make sure I was happy each step of the way. She was professional, quick to respond and never phased by my panics/barrage of silly questions but also totally lovely to be around. It is obvious that she has worked in fashion for years, is very technically skilled and has a gift for knowing what will look good on you. I ended up with a stunning wedding dress and would recommend her in a heartbeat for anyone looking for a bespoke wedding dress and a panic free experience."
Phiney created my perfect wedding dress. We started from scratch with a few pictures and ideas of what I liked but I never imagined what we would come up with together. She created a dress that exceeded all my expectations. The most fun was going to buy all the fabrics and deciding we would go for a pink wedding dress - who knew!! Phiney came all the way to London to have every fitting in the comfort of my own home and nothing was ever too much trouble. She is so easy to work with and makes you feel relaxed about what can be such a high pressured process. I wish I could do it all over again! So excited to see the future of Poppy Perspective!
