"The thing with me is I generally like a lot of styles, and therefore and I need some help to consolidate my thoughts and this is where I found Halfpenny’s to be masters, with their great customer service and honest, beautiful dresses.  My Mum, best Friend and I had already been to 3 bridal stores in London that day, and we all said that Halfpenny’s was the best experience along with the prettiest of dresses.

I chose the Marilyne Gown; it’s an elegantly effortless, versatile dress, that I felt myself in, which was most important to me.  When I put this dress on I could picture myself in it during the wedding day and just knew it was for me."

"Alexia made the experience an amazing one. I loved that there was nobody else in the shop – I had free reign to explore all the dresses and Alexia was incredibly helpful walking me through the range and offering suggestions. I was made to feel completely at ease and really enjoyed trying on a range of dresses, including ones which I might not have picked out myself.

I chose the Iris Slip & Susie Skirt because they were light – I didn’t feel weighed down and could move quite freely. I also adored the detail and fun design on the skirt. I had never seen anything like it before. It just felt completely right and ticked all the boxes – fun, light, summery…"

"I LOVED my appointments at Halfpenny London. Firstly, the boutique is absolutely beautiful! It’s like stepping into a treasure trove filled with lace and tulle and sparkly things… I wanted to try EVERYTHING.

I actually fell in love with two dresses. I was set on the Violet Full French lace but then the Dita caught my eye and I had to try it. Ultimately the Dita made me feel the more bridal of the two, I loved the way it moved and how it fit me. It made me feel like a princess (a cliché but I think we secretly all want to feel that way on our wedding days) but still had the modern, cool feel that all of the Halfpenny dresses have. The beaded bustier was just exquisite, I hadn’t seen anything like it before. From a far it almost looks like lace. When I didn’t want to take it off I knew it was the one."

"Halfpenny was the first shop I visited. I’d seen some pictures on Instagram before looking at the website and fell in love with the collection. I’ve never wanted anything very traditional, or over the top, and Halfpenny fit the bill perfectly, understated, but with something just little bit different, and just beautifully done.  

I did go in to the shop with a very clear idea of the dresses I wanted to try, with one in particular I knew I really liked, but I was trying to be open minded. However, as soon as I started to try on the dress, (actually a separate skirt and top) it just felt right. Once the veil went on too, that was it! All of this, plus a beautiful shop, the most help and friendly staff, and no hard sell all, made it a wonderful experience."

“I had been so worried that I may not find a dress that suited me but it’s as though my Halfpenny London dress and skirt were made just for me. I felt like me but just more beautiful and feminine.

The design is so simple and paired back at the first glance but at second glance you can see the intricacy in the craftsmanship of the hand-cut appliqué which is just gorgeous.”

"I visited a few places in London and got an idea of the styles that seemed to suit me. It was fun testing the waters and trying on heavily embellished dresses, huge princess dresses as well as some sexier ones too! But I did tend to be a little disappointed by the quality of the fabrics, which led me to the beautiful styles at Halfpenny."

I was welcomed at the boutique by Izzy who was so relaxed and genuine and I just felt comfortable immediately. I was a bit like a child in a sweet shop wanting to try everything on and did need to be held back a little! There was one particular dress I had seen on Instagram, which I was desperate to try, and it did feel so special actually wearing these beautiful gowns that I’d been wondering about since getting engaged."

"From the moment I walked in the store I was welcomed with open arms from the beautiful Izie. The attention to detail, friendliness and reliability was outstanding.  I was lucky enough to meet Kate herself when I picked the dress up and that just topped it all off for me.   I find Kate’s vision, love of exquisite detail and friendliness so inspiring and exactly the sort of place I wanted to have an experience in! Relaxing, easy-going, inspiring and fun!  - definitely got me excited for what was to come!"

"From the moment I walked into the gorgeous vintage-style Halfpenny boutique in Bloomsbury, London, I felt so excited and fell in love with so many of Kate’s dresses! I had been admiring many of Kate’s dresses online for weeks. Mum and I had such a fun day visiting bridal stores in London. Halfpenny was our last visit and the icing on the cake. Isobel was so welcoming, friendly and calming. Trying on dresses can be a nerve-wracking experience, but she really put me at ease. The whole experience from start to Finish was absolutely perfect. I felt so looked after and choosing my dress felt very special and personal. I loved the whole process and can’t praise Kate Halfpenny and her team enough."

"I first came to Halfpenny with my Mum and sister one evening; the shop is beautiful, just like the dresses, and the whole experience was great. On my second appointment, I was lucky enough to meet Kate, which was a fabulous way to make a decision on THE dress! I chose the Iris Classic dress with Iris Slip and narrow satin belt because it felt modern, yet vintage and romantic in style. I fell in love with the detail, the low back, the drop waist, the satin buttons…

I felt completely myself in it. The dress seemed to echo my personality. This was also the only dress that my Mum and sister, who came with me to most of my bridal appointments, got emotional about seeing me in (but, importantly, I didn’t know this until afterwards, so it truly was meant to be!)"

"As soon as I walked in [to the boutique] I realised I loved Kate’s style and this made the experience pretty different from all the other places I had gone which carried multiple lines – as I liked pretty much everything in the Halfpenny store!! I also loved that Kate herself was sometimes there in the store so I got to meet her personally which was a super exciting and special touch!! The whole experience was FAB from start to finish – thank you so much!"
