Our beautiful bride Dorothée tied the knot with the love of her life last summer in a gorgeous seaside wedding in south Bretagne, France. Dorothée found her Halfpenny gown at out mega stockist in Paris, Metal Flaque. She saw the Jessica dress online and it was love at first sight…

Our beautiful bride Lizzi married her gorgeous hubby in a relaxed autumnal ceremony. The couple love the light at the end of October and made the gorgeous changing colours of the trees part of their decor. Lizzi makes a great point about that pressure some brides-to-be feel about their wedding. It doesn’t have to be like that!

"I started out a very sceptical wedding dress shopper as white has never been my colour so was considering other options. I was about to give up, I felt like I was pretending to be someone I wasn’t by trying on all the wedding dresses I had done previously. Luckily Mum persuaded me to try one more place because my uncle had raved about Halfpenny London after going with a friend to her fitting.

When we walked in and saw the quirkily sophisticated layers of material and lace all mixed together so elegantly along the rails I had such a feeling we’d found the right place. Jean looked after me at my first appointment and she seemed to understand my style straight away. I have quite a calm nature and wanted to wear something that had an ease and flow to it. She also suggested I go for something bright white which I had been avoiding, and of course it’s exactly what I needed.

As soon as I tried on the Jessica dress I couldn’t believe I’d found something that felt so perfect. It was so comfortable and I could just imagine scooping up the train and having a great time celebrating.  As soon as I tried it on I wished the wedding was the next day so I could wear it already."
